  • Self-Cleaning Fiber-Cement Panels
  • CUSTOM HOME Magazine (5/1/2008)
  • Available in the maker's Quarry Stone, Canyon Brick, and Field Stone fiber-cement siding lines, these self-cleaning fiber-cement panels use nanotechnology. A finish captures airborne water molecules and holds them to the outside of the siding. Instead of attaching itself to the siding, dirt hits the microscopic layer of water. Then, rain washes the siding clean. Each line has three different colors, and the siding comes with a 50-year warranty on the panels and a 15-year warranty on the finish. 770.805.9466.
