Concrete Cover Up Siding

My initial thought was to attach.

Concrete cover up siding.

The simplest way to cover a cinder block wall is by using surface bonding cement to create a concrete finish. Concrete absorbs and holds water and most siding and trim materials including fiber cement aren t rated for contact with concrete. House foundations are concrete or concrete blocks. If you have a concrete sprayer use it to cover large areas quickly.

However if you have a foundation that is exposed and you wish to cover it with siding there is good news. As a result the osb protrudes about a half inch farther out than the concrete. This type of siding can be placed over some existing siding but. But if you re considering using another type of siding for instance fiber cement siding or james hardie siding you may have the same options.

Add the stucco to the top of the wall then spread it from left to right repeating this as needed to finish the layer. Concrete helps insulate the building and keep moisture out. The vinyl siding that around the concrete portion that i want to cover up is attached to an osb board that s attached to the framing of the house. You are right to be concerned about placing the new concrete step in direct contact with the fiber cement trim or most siding and trim materials for that matter.

Vinyl siding is the most common type of siding that is used in re siding. Most of the time these foundations are rarely exposed with much of the surrounding soil covering the walls. In effect i would need to add a bit of spacing between the concrete and the siding. Of the many practical.

Otherwise try picking up the stucco mix with a flat tool like a hawk and then transferring it to the wall with a trowel. It works really well when being placed over almost any surface.
