Cement Board – What Is It Made Of & Does It Live Up To Expectations?

Cement Board has been a common siding choice in the construction industry since the 1980s. Made from cement, finely ground sand, natural wood fibers, and water, Cement Board is manufactured into panels intended to protect homes and buildings.

Although some manufacturers offer warranties of up to 50 years, many homeowners report issues well before the 10-year mark. Moisture-prone areas are particularly problematic, as the boards can begin to break down. Paint applied to Cement Board often peels prematurely, creating a maintenance cycle where repainting is required every two years or so. Many homeowners find themselves stuck with constant upkeep—or forced to remove the siding entirely and replace it with a more reliable solution, such as MAXWALLPRO’s Steel Siding Systems.

Even when installed correctly, Cement Board requires regular maintenance, including caulking and painting every 5–7 years throughout the product’s life. These ongoing tasks add time, cost, and hassle to your home maintenance schedule. Some of these persistent issues have even led to Class Action lawsuits against Cement Board manufacturers.

MAXWALLPRO’s Steel Siding Systems eliminate these maintenance concerns. Our panels are virtually maintenance-free, never requiring painting or caulking. Once installed, you can enjoy a beautiful, durable exterior that protects your home for a lifetime.

Invest in a siding solution that saves time, money, and stress—choose MAXWALLPRO.
