Why James Hardie Wins

Wood rots. Vinyl melts. Fiber cement stands firm. It is a mix of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. It is engineered for climate.

Fire Resistance

Protect your builds. Hardie products are noncombustible. They hold a Class A fire rating. They won't ignite. They won't fuel the flame. Safety is a selling point. Use it.

Pest and Rot Defense

Termites hate it. Woodpeckers can't dent it. Moisture won't soften it. Stop worrying about callbacks. Build a house that stays solid for decades.

ColorPlus® Technology

Skip the paint crew. Choose factory-applied color. It is baked on. It resists UV rays. It stays vibrant for up to 15 years. Lower your labor costs on-site. Deliver a finished product faster.

Installation: Get the Basics Right

Don't cut corners. Follow the manual. Secure the warranty.

• Check the Weather-Resistive Barrier (WRB). Wrap it tight. Seal the envelope.
• Manage Water. Use proper flashing. Direct water away from the structure.
• Maintain Clearances. Keep a 2-inch gap from roofs. Keep a 6-inch gap from the grade. Prevent wicking.
• Use Proper Fasteners. Stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized. Don't over-drive. Keep it snug.
