Common Questions

Fibre Cement Siding FAQs

Common questions about fibre cement siding installation in Peterborough & the Kawarthas.

What is fibre cement siding made of?

Fibre cement is made from a mixture of cement, sand, and cellulose fibres — creating a dense, durable, and non-combustible cladding.

  • Contains no asbestos in modern formulations
  • Factory-primed or pre-finished options available
  • Resists rot, termites, and fungal growth
  • Dimensionally stable in freeze–thaw cycles
How long does fibre cement siding last?

Fibre cement siding typically lasts 40–50+ years. Factory finishes hold colour for 15+ years before needing a repaint.

  • Non-combustible and impact resistant
  • Factory-applied paint or stain finishes last 15+ years
  • Field-painted fibre cement can be recoated in any colour
  • Resists warping, cracking, and dimensional changes
Is fibre cement siding fireproof?

Fibre cement is non-combustible and will not ignite, spread flame, or produce toxic smoke. It offers excellent fire protection for your home.

  • Meets non-combustible building code requirements
  • Ideal for homes near wooded or wildfire-prone areas
  • Insurance companies may offer premium reductions
  • Does not melt or deform under heat like vinyl
What styles of fibre cement are available?

Fibre cement comes in lap, vertical panel, shingle, and smooth modern profiles with a wide range of factory colours.

  • Lap boards — horizontal with wood-grain or smooth texture
  • Vertical panels — modern clean-line aesthetic
  • Shingle profiles — decorative for gables and accents
  • Available in 30+ factory colours or custom field painting
Is fibre cement hard to maintain?

Fibre cement is very low maintenance. Occasional washing and inspecting caulk joints is typically all that is needed.

  • Factory finishes resist fading for 15+ years
  • Annual inspection of caulked joints and trim
  • Pressure washing restores appearance when needed
  • Repainting is straightforward when eventually required
How does fibre cement compare to wood siding?

Fibre cement gives you the look of painted wood without the rot, insect, or fire risk — and with far less maintenance.

  • Authentic wood-grain textures at a fraction of the upkeep
  • Will not rot, split, or attract carpenter ants
  • Non-combustible unlike any natural wood product
  • Higher upfront cost but lower lifetime maintenance expense
