I’m working on a mixed-use project and am trying to decide between Pac-clad metal cladding and Nichiha fiber cement panels for wrapping a wood-framed building. Both materials have their appeal, but I’d love to hear from anyone with firsthand experience, especially in terms of cost, durability, ease of installation, and maintenance. Given Kentucky’s varied climate with its hot summers and cold winters, are there any factors I should consider that might make one option better than the other? Thanks in advance!
I had never heard of of Nichiha. Hardie seems to have cornered the market in Louisiana. What does a 4’x8’ and 4’x10’ nichipanel cost vs hardipanel for board and baton siding on a house? The cost of hardi panels is insane down here. $55 and $75 plus tax. Anybody have this info? Thanks in advance.
