The reason flat lap (shiplap) is not available in fiber cement is because it is very brittle if the product has tongue and groove installation. It is a limitation of the material and manufacturers don't want to attempt to make a product like this because the edges would almost certainly break in transport.

The fiber cement product that best fits a modern look is probably Hardie's [url href=http://www.jameshardie.com/homeowner/prodhome/hardiplank.php]Colonial Smooth[/url], Don't be scared by the name.
