A board-type or log-shaped cementitious siding system, or a cementitious
roof shingle system, having a reinforcement material contained therein,
and an optional foam insert at least partially enveloped by a
cementitious shell. Each system is molded from cementitious slurry,
including gypsum cement and a latex/water mixture. A reinforcement
material and an amount of the slurry are introduced into an open molding
system or an alternative closed molding system, either molding system
including a mold surface member having a face defining an exposed surface
of the siding or roof shingle system. The slurry introduced to the mold
surface member is to a desired depth and/or weight, or for a desired
period of time. A foam insert is optionally introduced into the molding
system. After sufficient curing, the siding or roof shingle system is
separated from the mold surface member and is ready for immediate use
and/or further processing. Alternatively, a system and method are
provided for continually producing board-type cementitious siding systems
and cementitious roof shingle systems that may be elongate and can be cut
to an appropriate size, without the need to produce individual siding or
roof shingle systems of limited size. The cementitious siding and roof
shingle systems continually produced thereby are ready for immediate use
and/or further processing.
