Robert Jones Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Does this composite siding have a name? Looks like some kind of press board type material with a painted finish. Has to be some kind of wood composite as there were a few soft spots. Click to Enlarge 32.6 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI in AR Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Looks like the old Masonite product from the 70's or thereabouts. If so, it will have the name on the back. What's the age of the home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 What Kevin said. Looks like Stuccato board, very popular in 1979-ish. I installed a lot of it, like everyone else. It's crap, and it lasts about.....until right now. If you pulled it all off, you'd find a lot of moldy crap behind it, and most of the inside face will be flaking apart.

kimball gray Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I encountered the same siding today. And it is delaminnating and I agree, It looks like crap and is all over the place. Stucatto? Click to Enlarge 36.86 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allseason Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 It was used a lot to get the fake Tudor look on the cheap, and all the wood trim in between rots along with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
