Smartside siding material

There are lots of products that fit that desription made by a multitude of manufacturers’ and it is not my first choice. Any wood based product becomes junk when it is not installed right, not caulked and painted right, and most of the problems is homeowners that just don’t take care of it.

I personally like Hardi-Plank, which is mostly concrete based. I have it on my house and it does not rot.
