You’ll want to use a circular saw with a special blade. And dont forget to put on safety goggles and work gloves, to safeguard yourself from any flying pieces. Then, it’s just a matter of going slow and making straight cuts in order achieve a nice finish.

Putting the Panels Up

After cutting the cement board siding to the appropriate size it’s time to add them to your house. Begin by separating the panels slightly about an eighth of an inch between each to allow them to swell some more. Attach the panels to the wall with screws that won’t rust, and countersink the screws. Be careful not to screw them in so tightly that the panels crack.

Fill any cracks or gaps between the siding and trim with caulk to keep out moisture. Finally, paint or stain the trim to match the siding for a homey finish.


In conclusion, with a little fun cement board siding can be a rewarding project. With these pointers, you can do a good job and also not make your house unsafe.” Be sure to take your time, measure precisely and protect your siding so that it will last.
