Benefits of James Hardie Siding
James Hardie invented fiber cement siding over 30 years ago, and they’ve spent just as many years testing, improving, and developing their product to ensure they’re always delivering the best siding on the market. Here are a few of the reasons James Hardie siding is so popular:
Fiber Cement Product
James Hardie invented fiber cement and was the first to develop a fiber cement siding. This material looks better than wood or vinyl and performs better too. It’s thicker than vinyl, resists warping, sagging, melting, and cracks, and comes with a 30-year warranty. It’s really that good.
Non-Combustible
Unlike both vinyl and wood, fiber cement is non-combustible. That means it resists fire better than any other siding material out there and can help protect your home in the event of a fire.
Weather and Pest Resistant
Because fiber cement is not a natural material like wood, it does not attract pests. It’s also non-porous, and thicker than vinyl, making it resistant to swelling, cracking, and damage from mold. We should also mention it’s hail-damage resistant.
Elegant Design
Fiber cement is engineered differently, to be more durable and long-lasting. As such, it’s a little bit thicker, allowing for deep wood grain designs that mimic the look of natural material. This offers a more elegant design than vinyl.
More Durable Than Wood
Fiber cement is a unique material. Because it’s not naturally porous, it outperforms wood and engineered wood in durability and weather resistance. It’s resistant to mold, won’t warp or crack, and when you choose a ColorPlus siding option, its color won’t fade over time.
