Comparing Fiber Cement Siding and Vinyl Siding

Both fiber cement siding and vinyl siding are highly customizable and available in a variety of colors. Fiber cement siding is available in boards that are your choice of half-round, staggered, square shingles as well as long plank board. However, vinyl siding has a much greater variety of decorative options and are available in both shingle and plank looks as well as a wide selection of panel designs, including board and batten, clapboard, and Dutch lap. Both siding materials are also highly durable, but fiber cement is more fire resistant than vinyl siding. Fiber cement siding is also more eco-friendly since it’s made from sustainable materials and does not require the use of fossil fuels, unlike vinyl siding.
