Fibre cement is one of the most durable house siding materials available. It's made from a mix of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers—giving it the strength to withstand harsh weather and the flexibility to suit a wide range of home styles.
Fibre cement siding panels are designed to resist rot, pests, warping, and moisture damage. They hold their shape and appearance for decades with minimal upkeep, making them ideal for both new builds and siding replacements.
Compared to natural wood or vinyl, fibre cement requires very little maintenance. It resists fading and holds paint longer, so you spend less time and money on upkeep over the years.
You may not know that gutters used to be installed with nails or invisible hangers at 24-inch intervals. These systems were relatively strong, but left long stretches of aluminum gutter at the mercy of snow and ice. They also left the silicone sealant at the corners vulnerable to damage from the sun. That’s why gutters are now installed with continuous hanger™ systems that strengthen and seal. It’s like having hundreds of fasteners along the gutter, all riddled with holes to allow water to drain.
Rain gutters are commonly installed with spaced hangers that cause weak spots on the gutter between hanger.
To avoid weak spots, hundreds of hangers would need to be added, but this is not a very efficient practice.
With a continuous Hanger™, the rain gutters are reinforced along their entire length.
For new gutter installations, we recommend Alu-Rex, a gutter fastening system that incorporates a leaf guard. This system secures gutters to your home so effectively that your gutter system will be able to bare a weight of up to 250 pounds per linear foot.
Alu-Rex gutter guard is designed to keep debris out of the gutters, eliminating overflowing gutters due to clogs and buildup. The cover also prevents ice from accumulating. This leaf guard system easily conforms to new or existing gutters; no matter how wide the gutter channel is or what material they are made of, with the exception of vinyl gutters. It is invisible from the street and will not rust or flake.
