Choosing Between PAC-CLAD Metal vs. Nichiha Fiber Cement Panels for Wood-Framed Building
How long is the warranty for each product? You can request physical samples. Make a spreadsheet and compare pros and cons like installed cost per sf, warranty, esthetics, etc. Study details from both systems. What is your attachment system and detailing? It can be a little more involved but you could also compare any other things you may care about like embodied carbon footprint. Finding out where they are manufactured means you could find one has shorter leads times, lower shipping costs, and potentially better customer service if you get connected with a rep in your area. It's an involved process and those who do it for a living tend to get preferences over time based on their experience and project types. Let us know what you choose Good luck More on reddit.com

Nichiha Fiber Cement Panels
Last time I checked, Nichiha is significantly more expensive than Hardie because the installation is much more involved. And I think the product costs more as well. More on reddit.com

r/Homebuilding on Reddit: Choosing Between PAC-CLAD Metal vs. Nichiha Fiber Cement Panels for Wood-Framed Building
August 18, 2024 -

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!

Don’t know about pad-clad but if you go with fiber cement on wood framed make sure the installers find the studs behind the sheeting, and nail on them only. I’ve seen way too many apartment buildings and four story houses here in Texas where the installers just nailed anywhere they wanted because they felt secure that the nails grabbing the sheeting underneath would be enough. Well it isn’t, after all few years those panels become quite loose and nails start to pop out. Also depending on your code go with ring shank nails instead of smooth for the fiber cement panels. Oh and go with a high quality paint, again seen way to many of these building end up looking like shit and having to repair all of that is a big ordeal.

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.
