The Product
About James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding

James Hardie invented fiber cement siding over 30 years ago, and their product line remains the industry benchmark. Here’s what sets it apart from other siding materials.

01

Doesn’t burn. Non-combustible — one of the most cited reasons homeowners choose Hardie over wood and vinyl alternatives.

02

Resists rot and pests. Mineral composition is inhospitable to termites, woodpeckers, and moisture-related problems.

03

Holds paint and color. ColorPlus baked-on finishes are factory-applied for long-term fade resistance across seasons.
