What Portage's climate asks of an exterior wall
Portage averages 39.2 inches of precipitation a year, with June the wettest month at 4.3 inches.
Fiber cement's cement-and-cellulose composition is engineered specifically for sustained moisture exposure like Portage sees, unlike a wood-based product left unprotected.

- If this home is in a fire hazard zone, is the specific product and assembly rated for it, not just the base material?
- What does the substrate warranty cover, separately from any paint or finish warranty?
