Dilemma with fibre cement siding choices

10 years ago

Finishing a home and am trying to decide on which of these two fibre cement siding choices to use : James Hardie board or Certainteed Board. Both products are very similar and both have reportedly had reviews of problems in the past and success. Would love to hear from those of you who have first hand experience.....cheers

Thank you, Hardie was my first choice but I have also seen and heard about certain teed which is more environmentally friendly.........some of the contractors prefer it because no asbestos and less damaging to saw blades, etc.

There isn't any asbestos in hardie I think you are referring to the silica which is better than the stuff in certainteed they add coal ash to theirs
