Fiber Cement Siding Installation
Installing fiber cement siding requires a precise process to maximize the material's performance and protect your property from moisture, pests, and extreme weather. Fiber cement is the most durable siding available, with a potential lifespan of over 50 years when properly maintained. The installation process is complicated and should be managed by licensed professionals.
Starting with a thorough planning process, a typical fiber cement siding installation includes the following:
- Installing flashing around windows and a weather-resistant barrier along the exterior wall.
- Following safety precautions, including using a respirator mask, eye protection, ear protection, and dust-collecting tools.
- Installing furring strips, frieze boards, corner boards, and window-door trim.
- Measuring and cutting the siding with fiber cement shears.
