Concrete Log Siding Versus Metal
You want that log cabin look without the costs and upkeep of log cabin maintenance.
But, now you have questions:
- Will concrete log siding look realistic?
- Will it hold up in hail?
- Metal siding says it is cheaper, but how much cheaper?
- How long will it hold up?
Frankly, the decision fatigue at this point is overwhelming.

Concrete log siding is the most durable option on the market. It’s an incredible alternative to steel, which can get scratched and dented. In the past, concrete log siding has been heavy to the point of causing structural damage to a home’s foundation or walls. It wasn’t really an option that anyone would choose because it wasn’t a reasonable price, it didn’t look good, and it was absurdly heavy.
Now, with more research and modern solutions, that’s no longer a problem. Lightweight concrete and internal webbing create the rustic charm of a log cabin with the strength of one of the strongest siding materials there is.
Concrete Log Homes over Wood Log Siding
Wood siding is what everyone gravitates towards. It’s the classic choice for that comfortable, homey, cabin-in-the-woods look. However, thanks to research and development in the home siding field, there are significantly better options today.
The best alternative is concrete. It maintains that aesthetic appeal we all love while giving your home enhanced durability. With proper installation, you can have that authentic wood look put on your existing structure and enjoy virtually maintenance-free siding.
You will get better energy efficiency as well as protection against:
- Temperature changes
- Snow
- Rain
- Ice
- Wind
These siding panels are fire-resistant, which means they’re perfect for areas that are prone to wildfires. You don’t have to give up the vibe of natural wood, but we assume you’re more than willing to give up the flammability of it.
The engineered wood patterns that are applied to concrete log siding are unique and varying, so that no two homes look alike. They’re modeled after different wood grains that we see in nature, so that you get that aesthetic of hand-hewn logs with affordable installation costs and low yearly maintenance.
Advantages of Concrete Log Siding
ClearCreek offers concrete log siding that has many benefits, including:
- Less expensive to own over time
- Low maintenance required
- Increased home protection
This siding option maintains the look of real wood without adding significantly to the process. In fact, you’re looking at minimal maintenance, easy installation, low labor costs, exceptional durability, and every exterior square foot of your home protected from moisture infiltration, rot, insects, and harsh weather conditions.
The yearly care that’s involved with concrete log siding is almost negligible. You wash it with a hose with it looks dirty, and you reseal it every few years. That’s it. In our opinion, that initial investment is worth it when you put it up against the maintenance cost savings.
The major advantages of choosing concrete (fire resistance, pest control, and extremely lightweight pieces) make this the only choice on the market in our eyes. Get your home’s exterior that rugged appearance you’ve always wanted without any of the hassle. Call today to get started!

We’re very happy with all aspects of the product and installation. The house is noticeably warmer in the extreme cold we experienced. Quieter in blizzard winds too.

I just want to say how much we love the siding. Our house looks amazing! We have had so many compliments on it.
Sandra S.9/10/2022
Love, love, love ClearCreek Siding. The company customer service has been outstand the product. Is a perfect fit for my location near a heavily wooded area. This siding has a great fire rating and the insulation is a nice benefit, as I no longer hear the traffic by my house overnight.
Chuck & Lois W.9/01/2023
We are very happy with our choice with the siding for our house as we wanted something that looked very much like log siding but did not want the maintanence of real log siding, plus getting the benefits of the insulation behind the concrete siding. We made the right choice with Clear Creek siding.
Tami T9/01/2023
Cannot say enough good things about our new concrete siding! We chose the Lincoln color in their new hand-hewned style. Their install crew were wonderful! Such nice, polite guys who worked long hours & did a fantastic job. Quality people for sure. From the owner, office staff & work crew. We are extremely pleased with the end results and would highly recommend!
Ken S.6/11/2021
Installed my timber-shaped siding in 2016 and loving it. It was easy to install and looks great, we receive compliments all the time on the realistic appearance of the timber grain.
We have had several hail storms and no damage to the siding. The added r-value is a plus we hadn't been shopping for in siding.
Peg M.5/12/2022

I’m Brent, owner of Paradise Builders Siding Company! 1st Clearcreek Siding Products are fantastic! They are a list of fine products my company sales and installs. I’ve been in the Siding business for 34 years now. Clearcreek Siding Products are some of the best I’ve ever come across.

Thank you for a great product and excellent customer service, it was a pleasure doing business with such a great company!
Eric H.10/16/2024
I would recommend this siding if a customer is looking for an alternative to wood. I had another siding installer interested in the product so I gave him some pieces as samples. Another plus was the customer experience anytime I had any questions. You were very helpful and knowledgeable about the product and I never had to wait for answers. It was a pleasure working with you. Have a Merry Christmas!
The product is fantastic and the finished cabin looks great!
Cathleen WC.9/10/2022
Thank you Clear Creek for making such an amazing product! We absolutely love the faux logo front portion of our vacation rental. We love the way it looks so much we'd like the entire home to have the faux log look! Maybe someday. Thanks again Clear Creek! We'd highly recommend you to anyone!!

It's difficult to find good customer service nowadays, but Clear Creek knocked it out of the park. If / when I do another build. there is no doubt Clear Creek will be who I go with again.A++ across the board on customer service and the crew.
