Solid red brick can sit there baking in summer and freezing in winter a lot longer than cladding, in my experience, but we're talking decades in either case. Re: Weathertex or Hardiplank siding??? 4Aug 24, 2010 9:59 pm Thanks for this - we live on the coast and after speaking to a neighbour who has similar problems with rot in weathertex after 15 years, we decided on the hardiplank siding. We would have loved brick but it is an insurance replacement job. |
