In this overview, we'll explore various types of siding products available, their practical uses, and considerations for selecting the right one for your needs.

Fiber-Cement Siding

Overview: Fiber-cement siding is renowned for its durability, weather resistance, and versatility. It combines the aesthetic appeal of traditional materials with modern technology, making it a popular choice for homeowners.

Practical Uses:

• WeatherSide Profile 9, 12, and 14 Shingles: These options replicate the classic look of old asbestos siding shingles but are asbestos-free. They are durable, fire-resistant, and easy to install, requiring minimal maintenance.
• Purity Series (Straight, Wavy, Thatched): Designed for a clean, classic appearance, these shingles are also asbestos-free and offer enhanced customization with pre-primed surfaces for easy painting.

Selection Tips:

• Choose WeatherSide Profile 9 for smaller coverage areas or detailed installations.
• Opt for Profile 12 or 14 for broader coverage with fewer joints, suitable for larger surfaces.
• Consider the Purity series for a variety of textures and finishes, depending on your aesthetic preferences.

Pre-Primed Corners and Backer Strips

• Backer Strips: Crucial for sealing vertical seams between siding shingles, these strips prevent water infiltration and enhance the siding's lifespan.

Selection Tips:

• Match the size of pre-primed corners and backer strips with the corresponding siding profiles (9", 12", 14", Emphasis) for optimal fit and performance.

Installation Essentials

Overview: Proper installation is key to maximizing the lifespan and performance of your siding.
