Fiber cement siding is popular because of how low maintenance it is. However, it still needs occasional care, especially during the spring season. Today, Quality One Roofing Inc. shares some tips on cleaning your fiber cement siding this spring.
One of the best ways to maintain your fiber cement siding is to clean it regularly. When cleaning the siding, remember to use proper materials and methods. Avoid using abrasive brushes or cloths and harmful chemicals, as they can cause permanent damage to the siding.
Depending on the type of substance that is “dirtying” your siding, there are different cleaning methods:
Fiber cement siding is known for its low-maintenance features. However, your siding contractor may tell you to pay extra attention to the caulking and painting. Although fiber cement products are water-resistant, most installers use silicone caulk around adjoining portions of the home. Thus, expect windows, door frames and other exterior edges to have a layer of caulking. To prevent water from causing moisture damage to the exterior, make sure your siding is sealed tightly at all times.
