If you’ve been wondering what makes Hardie siding so appealing and valuable—wonder no more! Here’s how James Hardie leads the way in renovation style that you’ll love for your home.
Today’s Home Designs that Make James Hardie Shine
Versatile Textures and Styles
It used to be that if you wanted to achieve the appearance of wood or stucco, you had to choose those specific materials. Unfortunately, you also had to accept the issues and upkeep they require—including rot, moisture damage, a dated appearance, and costly repairs.
Hardie fiber cement siding effectively eliminates that problem! Whether you want the charm of wood grain, the texture of stucco, or the smoothness of vinyl, Hardie siding can mimic the look you crave. Plus, you get that style in an incredibly strong, long-lasting material that is low-maintenance and warrantied to last for at least 30 years—and often lasts up to 50 years.
Impressive Performance Against Any Kind of Weather
Homeowners today respect the power of mother nature—with over three-fourths of them keeping weather resistance in mind when choosing renovation materials. Since extreme weather events are on the rise, it’s more important than ever for siding to stand up against strong storms, flooding, wind and fire.
James Hardie’s unique fiber cement formula withstands hail strikes, flying debris, high winds, flames, and more—making it a top choice for protective (and attractive!) home upgrades. This durability not only keeps your property and family safer, but it also lessens the need for repairs after storms.
Endless Customizability in Colors, Shapes, and Styles
Customizing your home’s exterior to express your personal taste is definitely on trend, and Hardie siding makes that a breeze! Gone are the days when your home’s architectural style limited you to a specific look, color, or siding material. With James Hardie, the sky is the limit.

These products are cut to fit your home, so they’ll work on any type of architecture. And they can all be mixed and matched to create unique design patterns.
