Have a 31 X 29 2 story addition up in Wrightwood, CA, that will need cement fiber siding. Also the existing 660 s.f. existing cedar shingle wall cover will be stripped, and then resided. Area is at 6,600 ft elevation, and gets snow. Proposed has 1/2" 'Struc-1' shear panel and CDX over all exterior wall areas.
Owner wants Hardy/similar siding for fire resistance value over cedar siding. Also San Bernardino Building Dept requires 5/8" type X gyp board under any wood siding, an additional cost factor.
Me? Ca lic 'B' since 1965 and have used most all sidings except JH and other cement fiber types. As I have no practical experience with the several different manufactures of these products I respectfully request your likes and dislikes of what is available. And why you like and or dislike said material. Not just hearsay and or other fluff, real actual experience is what I am requesting...
I like the variety of Nichiha's offerings and the availability of JH, etc. Again, give me your real world input on which to use, and why, or why not, OK?
