Siding Replacement

Johnston, Iowa homeowners hire Midwest Construction to replace their siding.

The home was built in 1995 and the siding product installed was a wood fiber/hard board/press board siding.

What is wood fiber/hard board/press board siding?

These products are mainly comprised of wood fibers, flakes or chips that are held together by glues and resins. This type of siding was extremely popular from the 1960’s to early 2000’s as a low cost alternative to other existing house sidings.

POTENTIAL ISSUES WITH PRESS BOARD SIDING & FIBER CEMENT SIDING

Press board & Fiber Cement siding naturally absorb water and swell slightly, but with proper installation and ongoing maintenance that absorption rate can be kept to a safe level. The real trouble occurs from improper installation. Improperly installed hardboard siding can undergo serious deterioration including buckling, rotting, softening, blistering, severe swelling, mildew, and insect infestation. Water passes through improperly caulked joints, sunken nail holes and the cut edges that are located near the ground. Water logged sidings will eventually form bulges, swellings, mildew and finally rot. Direct application of the press board siding onto masonry materials also allows water to seep in easily.

These types of products needed constant maintenance to prevent any damage from season to season.
