Fibre Cement Cladding

leg

Hi there,

I am currently planning a self build house and have been looking into various options for the exterior of the house. While I like the look of wooden cladding the upkeep, longevity and cost of it are a worry to me.

I have come across a number of suppliers for fibre cement cladding with a wooden look finish. Has anyone here any experience using these products? Do they look like wood are a cheap fake ? Also are they expensive as if so I will have to look for a cheaper alternative.

Thanks for your help

If maintenance is a concern have you considered accoya

i personally have a real problem with one material trying to look like another material.

in my opinion, if you want to use a fibre cement cladding, then use the modern ones which reflect what they are

We are considering this for our house as well. Somebody said to us though that the fibre cement sheeting gets brittle are a while and can break really easily. Obviously a big concern for us if it's right.
Does anyone have any further info or experience of this??
Thanks
