Top 3 Reasons James Hardie® Siding Remains Superior

From vinyl and wood, to veneer stone and aluminum, no homeowner will lack for siding materials. But no option can provide the same advantages of James Hardie® fiber cement siding. In fact, this particular option has always been considered superior, and here’s why: 

1. Increased Curb Appeal

James Hardie siding can take your home’s aesthetics to the next level. Thanks to their deep grooves and high-definition wood-grain effect, it can emulate the look and feel of authentic wood plank or shake siding but without the latter’s propensity for moisture damage. This results in a more elegant home exterior. James Hardie fiber cement siding is also available in a wide selection of lovely and fade-resistant finishes courtesy of ColorPlus® Technology, allowing for vivid exterior colors that can last longer than a regular paint job. Because of its good looks and versatility, James Hardie siding is often used to restore the exterior of historic homes.

2. Unmatched Durability and Longevity

Vinyl, genuine and engineered wood, and aluminum fall short in terms of siding durability and long-term performance — but not James Hardie fiber cement. It’s impervious to cracking, peeling, warping, and melting. James Hardie fiber cement siding can also resist damage resulting from mold, rot, fire, and insects, helping keep both your home’s exterior and interior safe and intact.

3. Greater Sustainability

Did you know that James Hardie fiber cement siding is one of the most eco-friendly home exterior options available today? That’s because fiber cement is composed of Portland cement, sand, water, and cellulose fibers — materials that are readily available and sustainable. Because of its ColorPlus® Technology, James Hardie siding doesn’t require painting following its installation, eliminating the potential for volatile organic compound emissions that contribute to air pollution. This excellent siding option is so eco-friendly that it was even named the “Greenest Siding Brand” in the Green Builder® Media annual Readers’ Choice survey for 2020.
