Nichiha Fiber cement Siding

Nichiha Fiber Cement Siding

A japanes based company and a leader in an eco based fiber cement. For those that want a green siding then learn more about Nichiha Fiber Cement. They manufacture fiber cement brick panels, fiber cement stone panels, and fiber cement shake panels.

They just finished a 100 million manufacturing plant in Macon Georgia. So what makes Nichiha siding products different than James Hardie and Certainteed? Their mix is different and it uses fly ash instead of silica as the primart filler in their cement siding, shake, and trim and cement panels.

So what is fly ash and why is it better than silica? Fly ash is a coal derivative that is made when coal is burned to make energy in power plants. If the fly ash wasn't used it would end in landfills and clog up our landfills and this means that Nichiha is using a cleaner filler that does not have harmful effects on the lungs like silica does and it keeps the fly ash from clogging up landfills.

The fly ash is much healthier for those that cut and install the other cement sidings and have to deal with silicosis warnings that are because of using the silicosis as the filler.
