Exterior Cladding & Durability
50+
YEAR EXPECTED LIFESPAN
Fiber cement siding was selected for its durability, long service life, and resilience to Calgary’s climate. While some lower-carbon siding options exist, long-term durability was prioritized to reduce maintenance and replacement cycles.
Why It Matters01
Built once, made to last 50 years.
A rainscreen system behind the siding allows moisture to drain and dry properly without compromising the insulation. Air ventilates upward through the gap, water drains downward.
Fiber cement resists fire, hail, and wind — three things Calgary has plenty of. Less maintenance and fewer replacements means less embodied carbon spent re-doing what was already done.
