One exterior component that will benefit your home is good siding. Not only will it add to your home’s curb appeal, but it will also improve its energy efficiency as well as its protection from the elements.
Choosing your siding material is not something you should take lightly. You’ll have to live with the siding you pick, so its quality and looks should be what you really want.
There are several materials you can choose from. Vinyl, wood, natural stone and aluminum are some of the most common. Before making your decision, take a look at James Hardie® Lap Siding, as well. Compared to vinyl and wood, this material has more benefits.
Lower Long-Term Cost
Whenever you’re looking to improve your home, from siding installation to roof replacement, it’s not a good idea to go by the initial cost of purchase and installation alone. For example, you might think vinyl is a more affordable siding material, but you can’t ignore the costs over the years. James Hardie siding is more economical in the long run, as it is virtually maintenance-free. James Hardie’s fiber cement siding also makes your home more energy-efficient, so you save more on heating and cooling bills.
Better Colors
With James Hardie’s ColorPlus® Technology, your fiber cement siding has up to 30% better resistance to fading when compared to wood or vinyl. Even if you have to replace a few planks, you don’t have to worry that the new ones will stand out, because the old ones are highly unlikely to fade.
More Durability and Safety
James Hardie’s fiber cement siding is often regarded by experts as more durable than vinyl. It’s up to five times thicker than vinyl, giving you more confidence that your siding can perform better even in tough weather conditions. What’s more, it’s rated for use in fire-rated constructions because it’s noncombustible.
Virtually Maintenance-Free
Termites and other animals cannot damage James Hardie’s fiber cement siding. It comes with a 15-year warranty against common siding issues, such as peeling, cracking, and chipping. You can enjoy the benefits of ColorPlus pre-painted planks or planks primed for painting.
