Nichiha is a fiber cement product made from Portland cement, sand, fly ash, and wood fibers. It is best known for architectural panel formats, including finishes that convincingly replicate wood, stone, and metal, which makes it a common choice on modern and contemporary elevations.
GS Exterior Experts is proud to be your trusted Nichiha siding contractor in Denver. We provide professional siding installation and replacement to enhance your home's exterior.
Nichiha's 5/16" lap, panel, and shingle products are rated non-combustible, and the material does not absorb moisture or attract wood-boring insects. Non-combustible cladding matters in Colorado's wildland-urban interface.
Unlike wood siding, Nichiha requires minimal upkeep, saving you time and money in the long run.
Fiber cement does not absorb water the way wood does, so it will not rot and stays stable through Front Range freeze-thaw cycling.
Choose from a range of styles for your Nichiha siding replacement in Denver.
Nichiha’s architectural panels are a rainscreen system, installed on a clip and rail assembly with a drainage cavity behind the panel. That detail is what keeps water moving out of the wall, and it is where panel siding is most often got wrong.
We work closely with you to understand your vision and will recommend the option that suits your elevation and budget.
Nichiha’s product warranty depends on the panels being installed to its published specification, including clip spacing, joint treatment, and clearances. We install to that specification and back our own labour with a written workmanship warranty.
It is pronounced “Nee-chee-ha”.
Nichiha siding is a fiber cement siding. Its durability comes from a unique combination of cement, fly ash, sand, and wood fibers.
Nichiha’s 5/16″ lap, panel, and shingle products are rated non-combustible. Used with gypsum sheathing, Nichiha products can form part of wall assemblies carrying various fire ratings. Note that assembly ratings belong to the full wall build-up rather than to the cladding alone, and fire performance applies to the fiber cement itself rather than to paint applied over it.
