Vinyl vs. Fiber Cement Siding

Jul 15, 2022

If you’re considering new siding for your New Jersey home, you may be feeling overwhelmed with the number of choices available. Luckily, the experts at the Window & Door Outlet Inc., have created a guide to help you choose between two of the most popular siding options—vinyl and fiber cement.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding is a great option for any home because it offers the look of wood and the durability of vinyl, while also being manufactured in longer panels than most forms of traditional house siding. This results in fewer seams and a better visual appearance. It’s also insulated to provide superior energy efficiency for your home. Most vinyl siding is available in various styles, textures, and colors to make it easy for you to choose the product that will complement your home’s exterior aesthetic.

Fiber Cement Siding

Fiber cement siding is another great option for your home and has some unique advantages over vinyl siding. It is more than five times the thickness of vinyl siding which allows it to have deeper grooves and a more natural woodgrain look. This thickness also allows fiber cement siding to be resistant to warping, sagging, and melting, and able to withstand extreme hot or cold weather conditions. Additionally, fiber cement siding is more resistant to termites and other pesky insects than other types of siding.
