Hardboard Siding

In constructing a place of residence, or just any average building, quality builders generally insist on materials that will match their level of skill. Among the many siding options on the market, hardboard siding functions on a rather elusive plane between synthetic and faux wood siding. While it is far from traditional synthetic siding, hardboard siding is one of the oldest types of siding and has been manufactured and sold to construction crews since the 1940’s. While properties that have been known to feature hardboard siding range from the townhouse, and condominiums to the single family structures of suburbia the majority of structures that featured hardboard siding were installed between 1980 and 1998, spanning nearly two decades.

Like other synthetic siding, hardboard siding is manufactured using primarily glue and pressure. What sets hardboard apart from other relatively similar sidings is the type of wood product used during the adhesive process. Hardboard combines fine-grained sawdust and wood waste along with various glue and high heat to form, under pressure a siding that is at its core, a crude form of recycling. Under that high pressure the glue product and heat bind the waste and sawdust together to form what is essentially artificial wood. This artificial wood is the essence of hardboard siding. Yet like synthetic siding, hardboard siding has the inevitability to rot and corrode as quickly as its counterparts. It is because of this low quality and demand for the siding that many manufacturers have stopped producing hardboard siding.
