cement siding and other exterior finish alternatives?
Fiber-cement siding is highly durable; it doesn’t split, holds paint longer and is more moisture-resistant than typical hardwood siding. Other green building siding options include recycled-content hardboard, natural or synthetic stucco and locally produced brick and natural or faux stone. Long lasting, low maintenance exterior finish products reduce replacement frequency, which means cost savings, reduced landfill impact, and fewer resources and time devoted to maintenance and replacement.
