Getting Started with Magnesium Oxide Board: What It's Made of and Why Safety Counts?
If you’re thinking about replacing your siding or are choosing an exterior for a new home, you’ll soon discover the different types of exterior materials available, including fiber cement. We’ll take you through the essential information about fiber cement to help you make an informed decision about installing it on your house.
Fiber cement siding is a durable, long-lasting and low-maintenance material that’s used on residential houses and some commercial projects. It’s a semi-rigid material that provides substantial protection, while still maintaining some flexibility.
WHAT IS FIBER CEMENT SIDING MADE OF?
Fiber cement is made up of a few simple ingredients: Portland cement, sand, water, and cellulose fibers. However, the composition will change depending on the manufacturer. JiaFeng’s formulation includes propriety additives that enhance the performance of the product.
HOW MUCH DOES FIBER CEMENT SIDING COST?
Fiber cement is long lasting and provides excellent overall value. Generally, it costs less than brick, synthetic stucco and some wood siding options. It’s typically equally or less expensive than hardboard or composite siding, and more expensive than vinyl.
Since Jiashan Jiafeng’s products are sold through independently operated dealers, and because every project is unique, there’s no one-size-fits-all pricing. The best, most accurate way to get an estimate for your siding project is to get a quote from a local contractor who’s experienced in installing fiber cement siding.
HOW DOES FIBER CEMENT SIDING PERFORM?
Fiber cement siding has performance advantages over traditional siding materials like wood and vinyl. While performance varies by manufacturer, Jia Feng fiber cement siding is:
– Non-combustible. It will not ignite when exposed to a direct flame, nor will it contribute fuel to a fire.
– Created to withstand damage from moisture and rot.
– Engineered to stand up to the demands of your specific climate.
– Unappealing to woodpeckers, termites and other pests.

HOW DO I MAINTAIN FIBER CEMENT SIDING?
Fiber cement siding is a low-maintenance exterior option for your home. The extent and nature of maintenance required will depend on your geographical location, exposure of the building and whether you have prefinished siding or if it will be painted on site.
