Water can damage your home like nothing else can. It may be gradual, but it is relentless, and can cause siding to swell and crack, lose paint and lead to mold if not properly managed. This is where James Hardie stands out from its competitors. Wood-based siding has a tendency to expand, buckle or crack when repeatedly exposed to cycles of precipitation and drying. Exterior solutions by James Hardie are specifically engineered to withstand damage from moisture and rot, and will hold their own, come rain, sleet, or snow.

In case of a fire, you want to know the walls of your house will help protect you while your family seeks safety. Fire feasts on wood, and it melts vinyl almost instantly. But Hardie® siding will not ignite when exposed to a direct flame, nor will it contribute fuel to a fire.
