hi i'm james with jnc home repair today i'mgoing to tell you how to buy siding. they have a lot of different varieties of sidingout there these days. you can, most siding that you see is the four by eight sheets thatalready have the cedar milled grooved out into them where it actually looks like it'sgot a grain look to it. some of them are smooth and then they have the lap siding which areusually you know one by twelve pieces, maybe
colors of hardie board siding, one by eight, one by ten. they have a lotof different sizes and then they also make it in a lot of different materials now. oldersiding is usually made out of some kind of fiber board. and now a days a lot of peopleare going to the hardy plank siding. basically what a hardy plank is, it's a say a it's aconcrete, it's basically made out of concrete
materials and it's a lot more weather resistant.and as far as moisture it won't rot out, it's actually guaranteed i believe for twenty fiveyears without rotting or you know it won't absorb moisture. it won't absorb anythinglike that like your fiber board will. if your fiber board siding is not painted correctly,it's going to you know the paint is going to start peeling off of it and then it's goingto start absorbing moisture and it's going to start rotting out and then you know that'swhere people get into where they have to start
replacing your siding. so that's just a coupleof things to consider when you are buying siding. what you know, what type of sidingyou prefer, you know the lap siding that actually runs horizontal on your house and then youhave the four by eight sheets with the mill
that makes it actually look like it's verticalsiding.
