Royal® ’s Celect® Cellular Composite Siding vs. Fiber Cement

When choosing a new siding for your home, you have a wide array of options in terms of brand and material. You can pick a siding made of aluminum, vinyl, wood or fiber cement. However, when it comes to brand and materials, there is one kind of siding that you should never overlook: the Celect® Cellular Composite siding of Royal®.

Here, expert siding and roofing contractor Pechacek’s General Contracting, Roofing & Siding LLC reveals how the Celect Cellular Composite siding of Royal compares against your average fiber cement siding.

Appearance

Fiber cement siding is one of the most popular siding materials available with appearance being a contributing factor in its reputation. However, compared to the Celect Cellular Composite siding, you’ll soon see the flaws of fiber cement. It follows the dips and contours of your home’s wall, the nails are visible and the visible caulk lines tend to make unsightly seams. 

The Celect Cellular Composite siding, on the other hand, has patented interlocking joints that allows it to create a seamless appearance and helps keep your walls remain smooth and straight. This also helps eliminate unsightly caulking, gaps, buckling and wavy lines, making it far more superior in terms of appearance.

Installation

Compared to the Celect Cellular siding, fiber cement siding is more difficult to install. Not only does it require diamond blades for cutting but they’re also heavy, has a limited color palette, and requires six to eight inches of minimum ground clearance before installation. The Celect Cellular siding, meanwhile, doesn’t require any special tools, can be installed to grade, requires no caulking, and its interlocking joints makes it easier to install.

Maintenance

No homeowner wants to spend too much time maintaining their siding and unfortunately, fiber cement siding will need some maintenance every now and then. This is because depending on your climate and location, it may need to be repainted and requires ongoing caulking and mold and mildew treatment. 

With Royal’s Celect Cellular siding, you won’t have to worry about that as it comes with a coating that staves off rain, dust, heat and even pollution. It also has a high impact resistance finish that can protect the siding from debris and any dirt, mold or mildew can easily be removed with a spray from your garden hose.
