When it comes to fiber cement siding, Smart Exteriors stands behind the unparalleled quality of James Hardie products.
Here are some of the benefits of this innovative company’s line of superior-quality siding.
The main purpose of siding is to protect the home from the elements—and certain materials work better than others in specific climate conditions. That’s why James Hardie developed its HardieZone System, an innovative system that provides homeowners with siding products that are engineered for climate. You’ll receive specific siding products from one of ten distinct climatic areas that are guaranteed for optimal durability.
James Hardie’s HardiePlank siding products are made from fiber cement materials. While vinyl and wood siding products are notorious for catching fire and feeding flames, the cement-based materials from James Hardie’s line of siding products are naturally resistant to fires and non-combustible—which means that they won’t ignite when exposed to flames.
James Hardie has passed rigorous fire-safe evaluations and meet current regulations for compliance with ASTM International standards.
Wood, vinyl, metal, and other siding options often require heavy maintenance and upkeep to prevent damage from water, pests, fires, the sun, and other threats. Fiber cement products from James Hardie, on the other hand, are virtually damage-proof— holding up beautifully for decades in spite of heavy winds, rain or snow, hail, insects, animals, and more.
While vinyl can tend to fade, warp and buckle in hot weather, and wood can deteriorate quickly in wet conditions, James Hardie products are built to stand strong no matter what—with very little maintenance requirements to boot.
Water damage is the biggest threat to your siding installation, and can quickly cause it to warp, swell, crack, and buckle. Excessive exposure to rain and snow can also cause mold growth and rotting. Fiber cement siding from James Hardie is engineered to resist deterioration caused by water exposure. This is another reason why Hardie siding quickly replaced wood and is now the most popular selling siding material in the United States.
While all James Hardie siding materials are primed and ready for painting, our customers can opt to have their siding pre-painted in a variety of gorgeous colors with James Hardie’s ColorPlus Technology, a professional finish that offers unmatched strength and long- lasting beauty.
ColorPlus Technology outlasts average paint finishes with a 50% thicker application and a UV-resistant, baked-on bond. This technique provides built-in protection from the sun, which is the top cause for color fading.
One of the most important factors when it comes to your siding is longevity. After all, you want your siding to last as long as possible and to provide the best value you can find. While many low-cost vinyl products are cheap, they’re notorious for their short lifespans. On the other hand, materials like wood might last a long time, but they also tend to cost a fortune to install and maintain.
James Hardie’s products are a perfect blend of outstanding durability and cost-effectiveness. Homeowners can expect their siding products from James Hardie to last for 30 years. In fact, James Hardie siding is known to last even longer than that—provided that the siding is well taken care of and given the proper maintenance it needs to stay strong and beautiful for even longer. Siding is only as good as your caulking — that is why we only use the best kind. You can trust that siding is sealed for the long haul.
When it comes to fiber cement, there’s no better choice than HardiePlank siding products from James Hardie.
