There are many siding options on the market, but James Hardie fiber cement siding is the premier choice among homeowners nationwide. This topnotch siding has been used on over 8 million homes to date, and for good reason. When installed by an Elite Preferred Contractor, you’ll enjoy all its benefits for years:
- Attractive — With its ability to mimic the appearance of high-end materials such as wood, stone and brick, fiber cement can provide impressive curb appeal. Enjoy a beautiful home that fits your architecture and your personal style.
- Durable — James Hardie siding stands out for its decades of lasting quality. Warrantied for 30 years, it can last even longer if properly installed and well maintained.
- Customizable — With a variety of siding styles, trims, and product collections to choose from, James Hardie gives homeowners the ability to design just about any look they want—from smooth and shiny to board and batten and more. Its unique ColorPlus™ technology infuses lasting color that stays true and doesn’t fade.
- Engineered for Climate — Years of testing and refining have enabled James Hardie to pinpoint different types of siding for different climates within the U.S. so you get strong protection against the weather. For Chicago’s cold, wet weather, HardieZone’s HZ5 products are ideal.
- Eco-friendly — As a man-made product, fiber cement is strong and enduring. It is also non-toxic. The result is that it lasts far longer than other products, so it adds less to landfills over time.
- Pest Resistant — Fiber cement is inedible and unappealing to termites, carpenter ants, mice, woodpeckers, and other pests that are destructive to wood and stone.
- Fire Resistant — Rated as noncombustible, Hardie Board doesn’t catch fire like wood, and it doesn’t melt like vinyl when exposed to heat and flames.
