Why James Hardie?

DURABILITY

At any moment, severe weather will hit. So, to best survive worst-case conditions, James Hardie checks their products: tornadoes, UV rays, snowstorms, hail, and more. Although it is not only extremes that wear down siding, but also fabrics such as vinyl (which may crumble in the cold) and wood goods that alter the seasons (which expand and contract with changes in moisture and humidity). Only goods from James Hardie are Designed for Climate®.

James Hardie siding, thanks to its special structure, will cover your home without a lot of upkeep for decades, all without sacrificing its luster. Portland cement, ground sand, cellulose fiber and water are primarily made of Hardie materials. This mix makes it possible for Hardie to fight the elements and give you happiness for years. The cement adds power to the goods and the cellulose fiber helps to tie the cement together. Imagine putting a nail into concrete-eight distinct forms will break it. Yet Hardie goods are affixed with nails with Hardie’s patented method and superior materials and can hang on the walls, no matter what.

MOISTURE AND ROT RESISTANCE

Water, as nothing else will, can destroy your house. It can be slow, but it is persistent, and if not properly treated, it may cause siding to swell and crack, losing paint and contribute to mold. Wind-driven rain discovers an easier way to reach the building envelope as goods travel over time, which, in essence, can create moisture issues. Wood-based siding is especially prone to this, since when subjected to prolonged periods of moisture and drying, wood appears to swell, buckle, or crack.

It is here where James Hardie stands out among his rivals. Hardie has too little contraction and extension as compared to rubber, metal and wood-based siding. In terms of dimensional consistency, industry analysts rate James Hardie as the strongest in the market. Strong dimensional integrity of a siding product protects the home and, due to loosening of individual siding panels or planks, there is less risk of water infiltration.

WIND RESISTANCE

The destruction to property from windstorms and tornadoes can be astounding. Fiber-cement siding has been specified by storm-zone development codes for constructing homes in hurricane, tornado and wildfire-prone areas due to its impact protection against hail and windblown debris. However, the secret to superior wind resistance does not just rest with the commodity. For long-term success, proper nailing is crucial. That is why hiring the right contractor is so critical.

PEST RESISTANCE

Woodpeckers and termites are the enemy of a number of homeowners (to a smaller degree in the north). The creatures of Mother Nature will wreak havoc on certain types of siding, particularly wood and wood composites. With aplomb, Hardie resists all these wildlife infestations.

FIRE PREVENTION

James Hardie’s other additional bonus is that it is non-combustible. A fireproof home may not be ensured by any construction material, but providing a non-combustible side gives far better protection than plastic, wood or metal. Fire feasts on logs, and almost immediately melts vinyl. But when subjected to a direct blaze, the James Hardie side will not burn, nor will it add fuel to a fire. Because it becomes poisonous as it melts, plastic siding is extremely troublesome.

Since James Hardie items are non-combustible, a discount is given by several insurance agencies. We advocate sharing with the insurance carrier the fire-resistance properties of fiber-cement siding.

ENHANCED HOME VALUE AND COST SAVINGS

Fiber cement siding is regularly named as a top value in home renovation by a nationwide survey published annually by Remodeling magazine. We are delighted to report that fiber cement siding is rated as the #1 return on investment of any big exterior remodeling project for the 11th year in a row, providing a ROI of 77.6 percent.

You can be advised by real estate experts that homes with the greatest curb appeal move the quickest, saving you time and money in the end. In addition, since fiber cement siding is non-combustible and immune to hail-damage, it may sometimes help lower rates for home insurance. Tell the leader.
