Fiber cement siding is a hard, heavy board. James Hardie lists four ingredients: Portland cement, sand, water and cellulose fibers. Most of it goes up as lap siding, with each board overlapping the one below. The lap boards come in 12-foot lengths, and panels and trim are made of fiber cement too.
The maker calls fiber cement noncombustible. It says the board will not ignite in a direct flame or add fuel to a fire. The maker's guide warns that edges and corners can break, so it says to carry each board on its edge.
Siding in South Jersey sees a lot of wet weather. NOAA climate normals for nearby weather stations show about 47 to 48 inches of rain and melted snow a year. The state climatologist at Rutgers says nor'easters come most often from October to April. They bring strong winds and heavy rains, and a winter rarely passes without one.
New Jersey's building code rates the state's risk of weathering damage as severe. It rates the termite risk as moderate to heavy. James Hardie says fiber cement is made to withstand moisture and rot. The maker also calls it unappealing to termites and woodpeckers.
James Hardie sorts its siding into two climate lines. Its ZIP code chart puts all of New Jersey in one of them. That line is made for freezing temperatures with snow and ice. The maker added a drip edge to the lap boards in that line for better water management.
Cutting fiber cement makes dust that contains crystalline silica. OSHA's silica rule for construction has a line for saws that cut fiber cement board. Its control for that task is outdoor work, with a dust collection system on the saw. Indoors, the maker's guide rules out power saws and calls for shears or score and snap.
The guide calls for corrosion-resistant nails, galvanized or stainless steel. Blind nailing is its preferred method, with each nail hidden under at least 1 1/4 inches of overlap. Face nailing through the front of the board is for cases like high-wind areas where code calls for it. Each nail head should sit snug on the board, never driven in too deep.
A water-resistive barrier goes on the wall behind the siding, as the maker's guide and the building code require. Board ends meet in moderate contact over joint flashing, the joint treatment the maker recommends. The guide says to store boards flat and under cover before they go up. Boards hung wet can shrink at the joints.
