Durability is one of the most desirable qualities of fiber cement. Fiber cement siding, boards, and panels typically outlast vinyl siding and other alternative products in lifespan. Within 10 to 15 years, vinyl siding can show signs of aging, whereas fiber cement siding can last up to 30 to 50 years or more. Further, in cement production, carbon dioxide is a by-product. However, manufacturing vinyl siding containing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) produces more carbon dioxide than cement production. Moreover, vinyl siding off-gases throughout its lifetime as it occupies a space landfill. Hence, fiber cement siding is a greener alternative to vinyl siding.
Fiber cement products do not require frequent repainting as it holds paint well. Also, they do not dent unlike steel siding. Fiber cement products stand stronger in moisture and leaks than gypsum boards. These products possess excellent moisture-absorbing and drying properties, making them resistant to weather changes.
Fiber cement products are fireproof, insect resistant, and perform well in natural disasters. The products have good sound insulation properties suitable for building good quality and long-lasting homes. Further, fiber cement products are available in various styles such as panels and shingles. They are also available in baked-on, prefinished colors that do not require painting. Owing to the growing awareness about these benefits of fiber cement products compared to other substitute products, they are increasingly used in flooring, furniture making, and wall cladding, which drives the North America fiber cement market growth.
