Cemplank, manufactured by FCP, is an attractive and aesthetically pleasing fiber-cement plank siding. The deep cedar-grain texture provides a genuine wood appearance with premium fiber-cement performance. The unique fiber-cement formulation resists termites, will not rot or deteriorate, and provides long-term durability and strength. Four textures provide great design flexibility. Cemplank can be painted or stained in any color to suit the homeowner's choice and enhance the beauty of the siding. Cemplank provides outstanding weatherability with low maintenance and is warranted for 50 years.
According to Crosswinds GC Arnold Johnson, Cemplank may cost a little more to install than traditional wood siding (as it requires the use of diamond blades and wet saws) but the product itself is a great value costing about half what you would pay for cedar.
