What is HardiPlank siding ™?
HardiPlank ™ Siding is a happy medium between buying cheap vinyl tiles or paying for complete renovation siding of dress. The real name for HardiPlank ™ is the thread siding. This is because it consists of cellulose fibers found in wood and materials found in cement. If you should cut off a piece of this cement siding, you would see that the wood fibers flow through the otherwise hollow cement shell. The use of this type of tiling has many advantages. Cellulose found in the tiling is not taken from trees on the list of endangered species. Cement and sand are widely available everywhere and we have not yet threatened, yet. Unlike vinyl cladding, no toxic materials are used in the production of HardiPlank ™. Another fact that causes the cement siding to be green is that it will last at least 50 years, but even longer if it is painted and maintained properly.
Another main advantage of using cement is that it is fire resistant. However, it is not a focus because no BUDOVA is not if it is not made of solid brick walls. HardiPlank ™ is considered a neutral construction product, which means it is not flammable as wood and vinyl, but also will not completely protect the house from the fire.
people who use hardplank ™ for their tiles also enjoy the fact that it is reminiscent of wood during installation. After installation to install houses, hollow spaces below see that the siding is as strong as wood. It also has the appearance of the wood grain, although it is thin and uniform than the real wood. Only after careful review can one say that a cement siding is not a real wood.
cement siding is a huge advantage for people who live in areas that are susceptible to termites. A small amount of cellulose in HariPlank ™ is not attractive for thermits and other wood insects boring because it is not enough to maintain their existence. This type of siding is said to be insect resistant, because of cement properties.
Despite all the advantages, there are two main crashes on the siding of cement. The first fall is that it costs almost three times more than vinyl. For many people, it seems that vinyl is much more attractive. Another fall is that there are very few suppliers who know how to install it, so it costs more to install. Installation of this type of tiling requires a circular saw with carbide blades, which means that not every owner of the house can do this work itself.
