What is fiber cement siding?
Fiber cement siding (often called Hardie board) is a durable composite of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. It resists rot, fire, and insects, and can be painted any color. The horizontal lap profile with crisp white trim creates a clean, modern look that works on most home styles.
Cost and lifespan
Fiber cement siding costs $6 to $13 per square foot installed. A typical home exterior runs $12,000 to $25,000. With proper maintenance, it lasts 30–50 years — significantly longer than vinyl or wood siding.
