Chippy Paint
Posted in Garden Antiques on 10/26/2008 06:44 pm by adminCan fiber cement siding be installed over old wood board siding?
Home built in the late 1800's. The old house requires repainting every couple of years. The paint has an alligator appearance - very thick, chippy and crackled. Am considering re-siding with fiber board siding rather than vinyl. Is it possible to install the cement siding boards over the existing wood boards or would they need to be removed? Also - I know that when installing vinyl siding, they cut off the sill boards and crown molding around windows/doors. I would prefer to preserve the architectural interest of the home as much as possible. Is the cement siding option kinder to the window and door details then vinyl siding?
my husband actually works at James Hardie where they make fiber cement siding. A friend of ours used this siding on his home that already had cedar siding. He just went right over the existing cedar with no problems. Using the trim also made by JH it looks great! He did not have the architectural details your home has but I have also seen the fiber cement siding installed on victorian homes that did, and it looked terrific. You just have to trim the boards to fit around your window casings, etc. JH also sells shake siding and the half moon(gingerbread) shaped siding that is present on lots of older homes up by the roof pitches.
I would definitely go with the fiber cement siding over vinyl. You can repaint it if you want(unlike vinyl) It lasts for many many years longer (JH siding comes with 50 yr warranty) looks better, and actually helps better with wind protection (because of thickness) and it also helps with fire protection.
JH siding is sold at Home Depot.
