Durability – Because cement board siding is in fact so durable, it comes with an excellent set of warranties. The product itself is guaranteed for 50 years. If it comes from the factory already colored, the finish is warrantied for 15.

Moisture & Rot Resistant – Water can damage your home like nothing else can. It may be gradual, but it is relentless and can cause the siding to swell and crack, lose paint, and lead to mold if not properly managed. This is where James Hardie stands out from its competitors.

Fire Resistant – In case of a fire, you want to know the walls of your house will help protect you while your family seeks safety. Fire feasts on wood, and it melts vinyl almost instantly. But Hardie® siding will not ignite when exposed to a direct flame, nor will it contribute fuel to a fire

Pest Control – James Hardie Board is insusceptible to pests around your home. Hardie® fiber cement siding offers little appeal to critters and won’t be eaten by termites.

Low Maintenance – You won’t have to do much in the way of routine maintenance, either. Eventually, you may need to caulk around the trim, but that’s the only place re-caulking will be required. You can (and should) leave the butt joints alone. In time, you may also need to clean and repaint, although if the siding came from the factory already finished, the warranty covers the cost of scraping, priming, and repainting for the first 15 years.

Withstand The Worst Weather – Hardie® fiber cement siding resists the impact of hail and windblown debris and is designed to perform in extreme heat and cold.

Re-Sale Value – The high quality will also work to your benefit when it’s time to sell your home. Remodeling Magazine classifies James Hardie siding as “upscale” and estimates that you’ll get back 78% of what you spent on it when someone else buys the house. That’s impressive considering that the majority of home improvement projects only recover about 20%.
