💪 1. Durability
Vinyl siding is lightweight and resists rot and pests, but it can crack under heavy impact.
Fiber cement siding, made from cement and cellulose, withstands harsh weather and offers a longer lifespan — often 30 to 50 years.
🏡 2. Aesthetics
Vinyl comes in a wide range of colors and textures, making it a popular, affordable option.
Fiber cement mimics wood grain and gives a more upscale look with lower maintenance than real wood.
🔥 3. Fire and Weather Resistance
Fiber cement wins here — it’s non-combustible and highly resistant to heat. Vinyl can warp under extreme temperatures or from reflected sunlight.
💰 4. Cost and Maintenance
Vinyl is cheaper to install and easier to maintain. Fiber cement costs more upfront but lasts longer and increases resale value.
✅ The Verdict
If you’re on a budget and want quick installation, go with vinyl.
If you want a high-end, low-maintenance finish that lasts decades, fiber cement is the smarter investment.
