Durable Siding Solution
Wood siding on Westwood Plateau homes can start rotting after just a few wet seasons. Scraping and repainting takes time and money. With fiber cement siding from Paragon Exteriors, you get a lasting exterior that resists moisture and never needs painting.
This material is made from cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. It is resistant to rot and insect damage. Our fiber cement siding for Vancouver homes is installed with proper flashing and moisture barriers. This keeps your home dry and looking good for years.
In Westwood Plateau, the elevation and closeness to the mountains bring more rain and moisture than many parts of Metro Vancouver. This dampness makes wood siding a problem, causing warping, mold, and rot.
Many homes in the Plateau were built with cedar siding that is now worn out. Replacing it with fiber cement siding stops the decay cycle and improves your home’s look on the neighbourhood’s tree-lined streets.
Fiber Cement Siding Installation
Fiber cement planks are heavy and need diamond-tipped saw blades for clean cuts. On Westwood Plateau job sites, cutting stations control silica dust, and all cut edges are sealed with primer. The boards come pre-primed or factory-finished in colors that resist moisture, so there is no need for on-site painting during wet weather.
Fastening uses corrosion-resistant nails driven into studs at specific distances. Planks can be face-nailed or blind-nailed depending on exposure. A 3 mm gap at butt joints is filled with backer rod and sealed with elastomeric caulk. This allows for slight expansion while preventing water entry, which is important in the Plateau’s frequent rain cycles.
In Westwood Plateau’s wet climate, a rainscreen cavity behind fiber cement siding is necessary. Vertical furring strips create a 10 mm air gap that stops capillary action and lets gravity drain any water that reaches the back of the siding. This gap also lessens wind-driven rain pressure, reducing moisture getting into the wall.
A strong weather-resistive barrier, installed in a shingle pattern over flashings, directs water down to the foundation. At openings, flexible tape connects with the barrier to create a continuous drainage plane. These layers work together so that any moisture that gets in can dry out, keeping the sheathing dry during rainy months.
Westwood Plateau Siding Regulations
Westwood Plateau is a neighbourhood in the City of Coquitlam. Any exterior remodeling with fiber cement siding must follow Coquitlam’s Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw. This includes the residential zoning rules and design expectations for exterior materials and streetscape character.
The Coquitlam Building Bylaw defines exterior cladding as the parts applied to the outside sheathing that face the outdoor environment. This cladding protects against wind, water, and vapor. Fiber cement siding on homes in Westwood Plateau is considered exterior cladding. It must be installed to meet building code requirements for moisture protection, structural support, and any specific rules for cladding systems under this bylaw.
Coquitlam’s design guidelines for residential development encourage high-quality exterior materials on street-facing facades. Cementitious fibre (fiber cement) is listed as an acceptable exterior material. Therefore, fiber cement siding used in Westwood Plateau must blend well with the overall building design. It should be applied in a way that avoids large blank walls and keeps consistent detailing around corners and across facades.
We completed a project for a local school in Westwood Plateau. Their old wood siding was leaking drafts and moisture during the wet winters. This put their building at risk. We installed fiber cement siding on several buildings to fix this problem. We carefully planned the work to fit around their daily schedule. Now, their campus is tight, dry, and ready to handle years of Pacific storms.

Fiber cement siding is made from cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. It resists rot and moisture, which helps Westwood Plateau homes avoid constant repainting. Our installation uses diamond-tipped saw cuts, sealed edges, corrosion-resistant nails, and a rainscreen cavity with a 10 mm air gap to handle the area’s frequent rain. Coquitlam’s building bylaw classifies this as exterior cladding. It requires proper moisture protection and a design that avoids blank walls while keeping details consistent. Costs usually range from CAD 10 to CAD 21 per square foot, depending on the profile and finish. We can get to Westwood Plateau in about 30 to 45 minutes from our shop.
