The material
What engineered wood siding is
Engineered wood siding is made from wood strands or fibers bonded with resins and waxes and given a treated, primed or painted surface. It comes as lap siding, panels for board-and-batten, and trim.
It is lighter than fiber cement and cuts with ordinary woodworking tools. Like any wood product, it relies on its coating and on keeping water from sitting at cut edges, so edges are sealed and the bottom course is kept clear of the ground and roofs.
It suits the vertical board-and-batten look on gables and additions, and lap siding on the main walls.

Questions
Engineered wood siding: common questions
Is engineered wood real wood?
It is made from wood fibers or strands, bound with resin and wax and given a protective surface. It behaves like a coated wood product, not like solid lumber.
Engineered wood or fiber cement?
Both take paint and look like wood. Engineered wood is lighter and cuts like lumber; fiber cement is heavier and doesn't burn. A contractor can explain how each would detail on your house.
