Fiber Cement Siding – Alternative siding materials produce and release toxic fumes into the environment once they catch fire. But this won’t be a problem with fire-resistant fiber cement.

Cedar Wood Siding – Aside from being biodegradable, cedar wood siding is also energy-efficient thanks to its excellent insulation properties. Using this type of siding can allow you to cut your power bill and reduce your carbon footprint.

Considering the features of the two types of siding, it’s safe to say you can’t go wrong with opting for either.
