What Is T1-11 Siding?
Whether you’ve seen it advertised as T1-11 or T-111 siding, this “go-to” familiar siding product is made of wood composite, giving homes a natural wood grain appearance. A mainstay when it comes to home construction, it’s easy to work with, and cutting and maneuvering it is simple, making its installation less time-consuming than other siding materials. The problem is that it just doesn’t stand up to the constant weather conditions that Portland homes endure.
The best siding option by far is James Hardie.
