What You Didn't Know About CertainTeed Siding

CertainTeed is a giant in the building materials industry, but many people don't realize the company is also a leader in the production of fiber cement siding. Builders know CertainTeed as a company that has been in business for over 100 years manufacturing shingles, windows, and vinyl siding and only recently have they received recognition as a major force in the development of fiber cement siding technology and products.

What's Life without Fiber Cement Siding Choices?

If you have trouble making a decision, you might be overwhelmed by CertainTeed's siding options; everyone else should be delighted at the numerous styles, sizes, and colors available to choose from. CertainTeed's horizontal lap siding is probably the most popular, but they also offer vertical fiber cement siding panels and fiber cement shake and shingle siding.

CertainTeed Horizontal Lap Fiber Cement Siding

Horizontal lap has the look of conventional wood lap siding and is available in many widths. Depending on the style you choose you can have a reveal as small as 5 inches and sizes run all the way up to 12 inches; most boards are 12 feet long for maximum coverage. Choose from horizontal lap styles such as:

• smooth lap
• smooth beaded lap
• cedar lap
• textured beaded lap
• textured Dutchlap

These are just few of the many styles and some are available with up to a 50 year limited warranty. If you like the idea of siding with a pre-finished color, Certainteed may have just the product you're looking for. Many of CertainTeed's fiber cement siding styles are available in a wide range of colors and offer a 15 year limited warranty on the finish, or you can choose unfinished and apply your own paint. You can even purchase certain styles with a wood stained appearance. CertainTeed deserves serious consideration when making your fiber cement siding choice.
