Discover the Hardiplank Siding Difference

When it is time to replace the siding on your home, you have a very important decision to make. Should you use:

• Wood?
• Aluminum?
• Vinyl?
• OR…Something Better?

Enter…Hardiplank Siding!

Hardiplank siding is a fiber cement siding from the James Hardie Company.
Why is it better?

• Will Not Burn!

  Hardie siding is made out of a combination of cement and celluose fibers and silica. When was the last time you saw concrete or sand on fire?

• Impervious to Termites!

  Termites eat wood, not cement. Take away their food source and they go elsewhere.

• Does not Rot!

  When wood gets wet, it soaks up water like a sponge and then mold, mildew and rot begin to occur.

• Looks Great!

  Hardie is engineered to look just like wood. It is difficult to tell the difference even when standing right next to your house.

Can a Homeowner Install Hardiplank Siding?

Yes! However, hardie fiber cement siding is heavier than wood and requires both specialized cutting processes and specific nailing instructions. There are even different zones of the USA that have different installation procedures. It really should be installed by a team of James Hardie Factory Trained Installers.

A qualified contractor will have the training, tools and experience to install your siding correctly. They will also have the correct amount of insurance to cover your home and other possible problems such as a job injury.
