LaPlace Fiber Cement Siding Built for Storm Country
LaPlace sits in St. John the Baptist Parish, one of the River Parishes strung along Airline Highway and I-10 between the river and the lake. Hurricane Ida hit this community hard in 2021, tearing siding and roofs off homes across the parish. That experience reshaped how a lot of owners think about their exteriors. Concrete fiber cement siding answers the concern directly. It carries a wind design range of 115 to 160 mph when fastened to spec, it won’t rot when driving rain gets behind the wall, and it resists the fire and pests that come with living in a warm, wet climate.
Belle Pointe and the neighborhoods along the Airline Highway corridor hold a broad mix of single-story family homes, many repaired or partly rebuilt since Ida. A fair share went back up with vinyl, which cracks and pulls loose under high wind. Fiber cement gives owners a heavier, more storm-resistant board that also holds its paint through relentless summer sun and humidity. The honest downsides are cost and weight. It runs more per square foot than vinyl and takes a skilled crew to install right, and it needs repainting over time. For LaPlace homeowners who lived through Ida, the added toughness is exactly the point.
