When it comes to siding, there are so many choices.  You can go with anything from vinyl siding, which is the least expensive option, to metal, brick, or wood siding, which tend to be a bit more expensive.  If you are not interested in vinyl siding, but do not want to spend a lot of money, a good and attractive option is Hardiplank® siding. 

HardiPlank® siding is made from fiber-cement materials, which means it is partially wood and partially cement.  This siding looks like wood, and you can even see a wood grain upon close inspection.  It is almost as thick as wood siding, too. Since it has some wood in it, HardiPlank® siding can be painted.  HardiPlank ® siding is also fire resistant and does not have any combustible materials to feed flames in the event of a fire.  HardiPlank® siding does not attract insects, either. 

Another good quality about HardiPlank® siding is that it could be considered a green product.  No toxic materials are used in production of HardiPlank®.  All of the materials used in the siding (wood, cement, and sand) are all in abundance.  The wood used in HardiPlank® siding is not an endangered species of wood. 

Probably the most advantageous reason to use HardiPlank® siding is that it lasts for a very long time.  You will not have to include anything to do with siding in your budget for a long time after installing it, or at least until you decide to paint it.  When deciding upon the type of siding for your home, HardiPlank® siding is a good option to consider.
