Anyone Used Monterey Taupe Hardi Plank Siding?
Comments (16)You'll save initially buying pre-finished siding, but it will cost in the long run. Proper installs require caulking that will need touched up with pre-finished along with the bumps and bruises that happen with shipping/delivery, installers, and other various trades. Touching up areas and trying to match it all up are difficult at best. Imo, it's cleaner and more reliable to have an on site finish applied by reputable painters....See MoreHardie Plank & insurance...same coverage as vinyl siding??
Comments (10)You really don't want an insurance agent that doesn't understand buildings. It's part of their job to be knowledgeable about the things that affect premiums. Even if Allstate doesn't give a discount for cement board siding, the industry in general does give one, and the agent should know that. Consider shopping your insurance needs around....See MoreHardiePlank siding on floors-- Looks like concrete!
Comments (1)Interesting idea...I like the unusual and inventive in flooring alternatives. I would think that HardiePanel would be susceptible to powdering if used as a walking surface. However, if it was sealed with a quality waterborne, clear nonyellowing floor finish (either permanent or sacrificial), it might make for an attractive and serviceable walking surface. As with any flooring project, you must start with a flat, sound and smooth substrate....See Morehardi plank or vinyl siding
Comments (8)Hardiplank siding is actually easier to install than vinyl---you can cut it with a circular saw and $2 carbide tipped blades from Harbor Freight or Cummins Tools---the cheaper the blade the better. Two blades can easily cut all the siding needed for a 1,000 sq. ft. single story house. A metal cutting blade in a jig saw completes the cutting tools---but that makes a LOT of dust. Or you could buy/rent the electric shears designed for the stuff---about $275 or so to buy and no dust. It does take a minimum of two people to hang Hardiplank---while one person can install vinyl. I spent five years teaching HfH volunteers how to install both types---it took an hour to get folks in the flow with vinyl and 30 minutes for Hardiplank. We used screrws to install Hardiplank---there are now nailers that are desicned for both types. If you replace any siding, you will be money ahead later by replacing it all on the same job....See Moremikeyvon
