kurt Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 Looks like Masonite or a hardboard siding to me.
mlparham Posted August 24, 2015 Report Posted August 24, 2015 I can usually determine if the the siding is composite board or cement fiber by tapping on the siding. Sometimes if I am not sure I will dig into the bottom edge of a piece of siding in a protected area, such as a covered porch. If it is gray or brown you have composite board. If it is white you have fiber cement.
Jim Katen Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 In the middle picture, it looks like the edge was cut with a water saw. To me, it looks like the smooth-faced Hardiplank.
kurt Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 I couldn't tell anything from the middle picture. If the bottom grey stripe is the siding, then it looks like cement board and it's not masonite. Mark up the pic to explain what we're looking at if possible.
Denray Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Posted August 25, 2015 I added some verbiage. That word sounds dumb.
Denray Posted August 25, 2015 Author Report Posted August 25, 2015 I gave it the Morgan action this morning. Scraped the bottom edge. It's cement board. Click to Enlarge 32.66 KB
