Siding Gauge for Fiber Cement

The Malco FCFG Siding Facing Gauge is a hand tool designed for fiber cement siding work. It helps installers achieve consistent facing alignment during layout. The tool is built for professional contractors and serious DIYers who need repeatable accuracy on siding projects.

Simple Setup With Tough Nylon Body

No safety latch is fitted, so the gauge opens and closes freely for quick one-hand operation. The red handle is moulded from weather resistant nylon that resists cracking on site. Dirt or dried mortar can stiffen the pivot if the tool is not wiped clean after each day.

Consistent Accuracy Over Long Runs

The nylon construction holds its shape under repeated pressure against hard fiber cement boards. Measurements stay true across full wall lengths without the flex that can creep in with thinner plastic gauges. The 10 7/8 in overall length gives a practical reach for standard lap spacing.
