What constitutes fiber-cement siding and other exterior finish alternatives?
Fiber-cement siding is made of a mixture of cement and some type of fiber (typically wood). Highly durable, it holds paint longer and does not warp, split, rot or get attacked by termites. Other durable, green building siding options include stucco and locally produced brick and stone. Long lasting, low maintenance exterior finish products reduce replacement frequency, resulting in cost savings, reduced landfill impact, and fewer resources devoted to maintenance and replacement.
