What Is Wood Composite Siding?
Adding wood composite siding to your home is an innovative way to keep it safe from strong winds, rainfall, and UV exposure. Wood composite siding refers to ready-made panels of compressed scrap wood bonded with resins. This siding is also chemically treated to repel insects and fungi growth.
How Does Wood Composite Siding Compare to Natural Wood Siding?
Wood composite siding is made of a mixture of materials. On the other hand, natural wood is simply wood that comes from trees.

Types of Wood Siding
Natural Wood Siding
Natural wood siding is cut horizontally or vertically and dried before it’s ready for use. Homeowners can also choose their preferred stain color to coordinate with their roof or shutters.
Natural wood siding has a timeless appearance and a variety of styles, including clapboard and shakes. Plus, homeowners can choose from several types of wood, including cedar, cypress, and pine. Though natural wood siding is a great eco-friendly choice, it can be expensive, costing about $13,875 on average. Homeowners also need to prioritize routine inspections since natural wood is prone to termite damage.
Composite Wood Siding
Composite wood siding is a low-maintenance alternative to natural wood siding. Depending on your region’s weather, your investment will last longer, especially if you repaint it every 8 to 10 years. Plus, since composite wood siding is already cut and cured, it’s easy to install. Compared to natural wood, composite wood panels are extremely weather-resistant, standing firm against freezing cold or blazing hot temperatures.
Engineered Wood vs. Wood Composite Siding
When it comes to siding, real doesn’t always mean better. Many homeowners are happy with either engineered or composite wood siding. These terms are often used interchangeably, but they have their differences. It’s best to do some research and speak with your contractor to make the right choice.
Engineered Wood Siding Basics
Engineered wood is uniquely crafted to look like natural wood using treated wood strands combined with resin binding for strength. Even though engineered wood is strong and reliable, it’s lightweight compared to other siding options and easy to install. Because it costs less for labor and materials, it’s affordably priced at $3 to $8 per square foot.
Composite Wood Siding Basics
Composite wood siding is made of cellulose fibers bonded with additional synthetic materials. Many composite siding manufacturers, such as LP Building Solutions, offer options that use cement as a base instead of wood to add more versatility in terms of design and material.
