We are building a home with the cedar home style. However, because of the higher cost of cedar and maintenance, we are considering using one of the planks like Hardi Plank or Certainteed. These boards come with wood grain texture and can be stained or painted to look like wood. Certainteed even has a plank that comes stained with a 15 year guarantee and looks almost like cedar. If anyone has experience with any of these products, I would like to know your experience and degree of satisfaction with them. We need to make a choice within about a month.
