Pre-stained fiber cement siding
Allura fiber cement siding is a top competitor brand to James Hardie Siding. Manufactured with a mix of wood pulp and portland cement, Allura siding is specially formulated to be fire resistant, impervious to insects, and suitable for most climates. Allura products are a great choice over other Fiber Cement brands because Allura features reversible boards, which increase yield and reduce the number of cuts made during installation.
Although Allura fiber cement siding gives the beautiful appearance of wood siding, it is impenetrable to any kind of climate-related damage or injury.
Weather – No rot!
Due its concrete fibers, fiber cement plank is impervious to any external elements, such as rain, hail, wind, flying debris, and humidity. Not only will fiber cement board siding not chip because of its strength, it does not retain moisture either, therefore, it never rots or swells. This makes it one of the best choices for wet climate areas such as British Columbia.
Pests – No termites!
This type of siding defends against most insects, such as termites, that can eat away at wood siding.
Fire Prevention – Non-Combustible!
Because it is made of concrete fibers, fiber cement board is fire-resistant, protecting your home from any exterior threat.

Allura siding colors
One of the best things about fiber cement siding after its durability is its ability to come in a wide range of different colors and styles. Fiber cement has the ability to mimic the look of real wood because it’s made in a mold with real wood. Stained or painted, this can give your home the appearance of real wood siding, but without the maintenance that would normally be required with traditional wood siding.
Canadian color trends for fiber cement siding focus more on natural colors and earth tones. Wood stains are extremely popular in nearly every province, while those closer to the coast also enjoy brighter colors such as bright whites, yellows, and bold blues.
In Central Canada, you’ll also find more earth tones, as well as deep greens. Both are frequently combined with white window and door trims for a crisp, clean look on the home’s exterior. The closer to the US border you go, the more you’ll also find homeowners opting for darker tones for their homes, as well as natural hues.
