Get To Know The

Features of Fiber Cement

  • Aesthetics & Budgets:
    No one wants their forever home to blend in with the rest of the neighborhood. You want it to stand out and be something you are proud of, something that fits your exact aesthetic and style. Nichiha’s architectural wall panels come in a large variety of colors, textures and sizes to ensure you get exactly what you want. However, you don’t want to spend the rest of your life paying it off. With Nichiha, you can use a little or a lot, so your home will always fit your budget. For an idea of what your project would cost, use our Cost Estimator.
  • Durability:
    Our monolithic Architectural Wall Panel and Premium Plank siding utilizes a dry process manufactured building product that is extremely versatile and durable. It can be used for multitudes of design projects in both interior and exterior applications. Engineered cement with strong yet flexible fibers for reinforced strength, fiber cement board products are weather- and wear-resistant in all sorts of climates.
  • The Better Alternative:
    Fiber cement products are the residential exterior solutions that address common maintenance and performance issues that plague traditional materials like brick, wood or stucco. Over time, wood can weather, lose color, warp and split. It’s also susceptible to critters like termites and other insect damage. With fiber cement, none of those problems are an issue.

    Brick and stucco exteriors also come with their own set of problems. Temperature fluctuations can cause brick and stucco to crack, exposing a home to potentially serious problems. Fiber cement board is far more durable, holding up to the test of weather and time.

Where Can Fiber Cement Be Used?

Outside to Inside

Gone are the days when certain materials could only be used for exterior or interior applications. Today, texture mixing not only allows you to showcase different materials on the outside of your home, but it also means you can bring those same finishes inside. This creates design consistency and a feeling of cohesiveness throughout your home.

Whether you’re refreshing an existing space or adding a new one, including Nichiha as an accent can increase a home's value and add the personal touch you’ve been looking for. Our fiber cement panels can be installed in multiple colors and textures, pairing well with other features and offering unique designs with very low maintenance.

For more ideas, get inspired by our Modern Homes Look Book and see how our products can liven up your home, no matter where you choose to use them.

Protection

Fiber cement isn’t just versatile and beautiful, it also has incredible protective properties. This means it can be used in many different climates around the country. Keeping our clients protected is our main concern, which is why we ensure our fiber cement products hold up against extreme weather.

Moisture Resistant

In southern, humid climates, fiber cement is a better alternative to other building materials as it doesn’t allow organic occupants such as termites and fungi to infest the siding, eventually getting into the house. Fiber cement can withstand high humidity without rotting or warping as wood products do, and even hold up against strong winds.

Fire Resistant

In dry climates where wildfires are a major concern, fiber cement has fire-resistant properties and many insurance companies offer discounted premiums to homeowners whose homes are built with fiber cement. To learn more, check out this Firewise blog.

Wind Resistant

Fiber cement-sided houses along coastal regions are protected from sun exposure, salt spray and high humidity. As wind damage is a major concern, fiber cement offers hurricane-resilience as it can withstand up to 130 mph or higher winds.

Temperature Resistant

In northern climates where temperatures can vary significantly, traditional architectural concrete becomes a problem due to cyclical freezing and warming. Fiber cement is a solution lasts. It can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations without cracking, weathering or buckling.

Mix It Up

Have we mentioned texture mixing? It deserves to be mentioned again, it’s just that great. Mixing textures with fiber cement can add a dramatic appeal to the exterior or interior of a home. Wood-like exterior house siding paired with clean white and stone panels creates a harmonious look that is modern and timeless. For more inspiration, download our Modern Homes Lookbook .

Take Traditional Up a Notch

Shake siding has been a traditional look for decades, but when made from regular wood, it can look shabby and require excess maintenance. Instead, take the look up a notch with a vibrant color and strong material like fiber cement. You get the look you love with none of the hassle.
