What Richmond's climate asks of an exterior wall
Richmond averages 45.5 inches of precipitation a year, with August the wettest month at 4.9 inches.
Fiber cement's cement-and-cellulose composition is engineered specifically for sustained moisture exposure like Richmond sees, unlike a wood-based product left unprotected.
8.8 inches of snow most winters adds its own freeze-thaw cycling on top of the rain.
