Lap siding board is asbestos-free, autoclaved and composed of cellulose fibers, cement and silica-sand. It is lightweight, moisture tolerant, and non-toxic. Lap siding board features the long life and low maintenance characteristics of concrete materials, and all the beauty and workability of timber products.
Available with smooth or wood grain surface, the durability of Lap siding board makes it an ideal choice for structures where weight, moisture, termites, maintenance and fire resistance are key factors.
There is almost no limit to the kinds of buildings that can benefit from Lap siding board: residential, commercial, institutional, rural, industrial, and manufactured.
High durability combined with light weight makes Lap siding board an extremely workable siding material:
It weighs less than 3 lbs./sq. ft. installed
Handles and installs easily
Needs no vapor barrier (where codes permit)
Offers an unusually low waste factor
Resists marking from hammer or tool impact
No pre-drilling necessary
Can be nailed flush or countersunk
May be painted on-site or pre-painted
Autoclave steam curing prevents paint from cracking, peeling or blistering.
