2: Adds Curb Appeal

If you want a home that has curb appeal like no other, Hardie board is the way to go.

Hardie board siding:

  • Is perfect for any architectural style: With its wide variety of versatile styles and colors, Hardie board siding allows you to easily recreate the look of wood siding found in Tudor, Victorian, and other traditional home styles.
  • Mimics the look of real wood: James Hardie siding goes a step above the competition by designing wood-like grain on every board. And it keeps its beautiful appearance over time, without the expensive maintenance required with real wood.
  • Provides lasting color: Unlike paint and other siding finishes that may become noticeably dull over time, James Hardie’s ColorPlus® Technology is specifically engineered to help resist damaging UV rays — meaning your color will be vibrant for years to come.
  • Offers a curated color palette: James Hardie’s color experts have created a stunning selection of timeless colors that look perfect on exterior siding.

3: Low Maintenance

If you’re into keeping it simple when it comes to maintaining your home’s exterior, Hardie board siding is well worth your investment. 

Unlike wood siding, fiber cement is resistant to … 

  • Moisture damage 
  • Rot
  • Dents; and 
  • Cracking 

… so it doesn’t need regular repair or replacement.

It’s also incredibly easy to clean:  

  1. Use soapy water to wipe away dirt and dust
  2. Scrub with a soft bristle brush; and 
  3. Use the garden hose to rinse away the residue

Maintaining your home’s siding doesn’t get much easier than that!
