Designed to emulate the appearance of hand-carved wood siding, achieved through a decorative groove at the top of each board. This profile not only adds a traditional charm but also features tighter seams, enhancing its weather resistance and providing a polished finish. The siding is coated with the Kynar® Paint System, ensuring it remains fade-resistant, maintaining its aesthetic appeal over time.

TruCedar Steel Siding vs. Fiber Cement
Fiber cement siding requires repainting every 5 -7 years despite its 50-year warranty and only a 15-year guarantee for the baked-on finish. It also poses safety risks due to silica dust release during installation, which can lead to serious lung diseases, especially for smokers, and incurs higher installation costs due to its weight, making it about 40% more expensive in labor, not to mention the eventual repainting costs over its lifetime.
