I am having difficulty in finding "Head to Head" comparisons of home sidig. Specifically:
* fiber cement sidig
* Amazing siding
* aluminum siding

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks, Ted tstrandjr@earthlink.net

Fiber cement siding has some advantages...it won't rot, holds paint well, will burn less easily than many sidings...and some disdvantages...it's heavy, and has a very thin shadow line, so doesn't look as good as the wood siding it imitates, its wood grain is kind of heavy-handed.

I have no idea what "Amazing siding" is.

Aluminum siding is pretty much passe´, it dents easily, has a high rate of expansion, and looks a little flimsy compared to even vinyl siding.
