Fiber Cement Manufacturers

Complete Listing of Fiber Cement Manufacturers

Within the past three years, there has been some consolidation within this industry. Some companies have merged with others. The bottom line is that fiber cement products are readily available in most markets and they are usually fairly easy to obtain. My biggest complaint is that some manufacturers do not yet offer a complete package with respect to trim pieces. In other words, when you install siding you often need to deal with inside and outside corners, facia and rake boards, drip cap, soffit terminations, etc. If I were making fiber cement siding, I would want to offer all of these optional pieces and maybe even other decorative trim made from fiber cement. As it stands now, in certain instances you need to substitute wood or vinyl products to complete the exterior installation. This isn't all bad, but you may have some problems with respect to texture differences. Be sure to ask about accessory and trim pieces when you are deciding what product to use.
