Certainteed Fiber Cement Problems - Contractor Talk - Professional Construction and Remodeling Forum

I have used Certainteed Fiber Cement for siding installation on 150 units in the Northern Illinois area and having issues. The product was installed between April 2005 thru March 2006. Since then we have had to go back on 90% of the homes for siding issues. These homes were installed with Certainteed "Weatherboard" before Certainteed reformulated their product with more flyash. Is anyone having issues with the Certainteed Weatherboard? I have installed Hardi Fiber Cement and have had no issues with it.
Any imput would help at this point.

They're riping it off several slop side condo's here in Vermont. Everything that was installed up to the year 2000 seems to be having issue's of some kind. Get your supplier on your side and you should be getting paid to replace it.

Thankfully, I've always used Hardie plank.
