HardiePlank® Lap Siding is by Far Your Safest and Most Durable Home Siding Option

There are other things that cause more damage and suffering to Americans than swine flu. There are, for instance, about 3,000 individuals whose lives are lost to fire accidents annually. According to the CDC, deaths from fires are the fifth most common cause of accidental injury deaths in the US. Fire accidents are in fact considered as the third leading cause of fatal home injury. And the vast majority of fire accidents happen in residential structures. Perhaps the main reason why residential homes are prone to fire accidents is that many are made from highly combustible material like wood. While it is impossible to eliminate wood from our homes, you have the option to minimize the presence of such fire-prone material from your house. One thing you can do is replace your wooden siding with a much safer material, such as HardiePlank® Lap Siding. What is HardiePlank® Lap Siding? A relatively new type of siding material, HardiePlank® Lap Siding is by far the most safe alternative siding option for homeowners looking to replace their wooden siding. It is a combination of natural and synthetic material. It is made from cellulose fibers and cement.
