James Hardie® has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to siding solutions, with decades of research and development making it the most popular siding brand in America. There are many reasons why James Hardie fiber cement siding is preferred over other siding materials. We take a closer look at them here.
Beautiful Appearance
One of the reasons homeowners choose James Hardie siding time and time again is because of its beautiful and unique appearance. It is five times thicker than vinyl and features deeper grooves for a more authentic wood-grain look. Particularly on historic homes, James Hardie is the more sophisticated option out of the two.
Impressive Durability
Because vinyl is essentially plastic, it melts easily in a fire or even from the reflection of the sun. James Hardie siding installation products, however, are non-combustible. It is incredibly durable and resists warping and sagging in addition to melting. When compared to wood siding, on the other hand, James Hardie fiber cement can resist the effects of moisture damage, such as mold and mildew growth, and will not split or crack over time. Their trim and siding products also provide superior protection from wet and freezing conditions, making the brand ideal for all types of climates.
Minimal Maintenance
James Hardie fiber cement siding is specifically formulated to resist damage from various threats like heat, humidity, moisture and pests. It requires almost no maintenance all year round. You will only need a garden hose and a medium-bristle brush to remove traces of dirt and debris off its surface at least twice a year.
