If you are in the market for new siding, you’ll want it to have superior qualities that make it a sound investment. Sure, there are numerous options available out there, but one brand stands out above the rest — James Hardie® fiber cement siding. Empire Roofing & More discusses the four reasons to consider this exceptional siding product for your home.
1. Durability
James Hardie fiber cement siding is designed to be durable and weather-resistant. Compared to other siding options like vinyl, it has considerable thickness that allows it to withstand even the harshest outdoor conditions. Fiber cement siding panels don’t experience rotting or warping when exposed to moisture. Moreover, they are rated to be resistant to fires — the Class A rating means that the product can slow down the spread of flames, ensuring you and your family’s safety in the event of a house fire.
2. Energy Efficiency
James Hardie fiber cement siding has extra insulation to ensure no outdoor temperatures penetrate your indoors and compromise comfort. In the same vein, it keeps warm or cool air coming from your HVAC system indoors, improving your home’s thermal performance.
3. Versatility
James Hardie siding products come in a variety of colors that range from vibrant to subtle, allowing for many design possibilities. Some of them can be primed and prepped for painting, but there are others that undergo a revolutionary process that helps retain color longer than an ordinary paint job. The advanced ColorPlus® Technology involves the application of a consistent and fade-resistant finish during the manufacturing process. The result is a beautiful facade that is resistant to chipping, peeling, or cracking.
4. Sustainability
Fiber cement is made from renewable and sustainable raw materials — Portland cement, cellulose fibers, sand and water. This results in a tough, long-lasting product that you can count on to provide years and years of reliable performance. This also means that the siding doesn’t need frequent replacement, which helps limit landfill waste.
