Hardi plank versus LP Ultra plank

| Posted in Construction Techniques on

I’ve seen lots of discussion here on the hardi plank composite siding but has anyone used the LP product called ultra plank? It has a cedar texture and is prefinished. It appears to be a composite fiber but I think it lacks cement.  It has a 15 yr warranty on the finish and 25 years on the siding.  Anybody have any problems with it?  Opinions on it versus Hardi plank?

Much appreciate the help,

CS

    Sounds like an OK warranty, but Hardie is 50 years.
