siding

Here are some examples of why we use James Hardie Siding over other types of siding

	Hardie vs	Vinyl

	Flame Resistance
Non-combustible. Approved for fire-rated construction.			Vinyl siding will melt or burn when exposed to a significant source of heat or flame.

	Color Flexibility
Can be painted any color you can imagine and lasts longer than with wood.			Color cannot be changed and is susceptible to fading. And it's difficult to get a perfect match when repairs are necessary.

	Weather Resistance
So durable it's guaranteed for up to 50 years, even in the most severe climates on earth.			Becomes brittle in cold weather. Can be damaged by hail, limbs, and other flying debris.

	Thickness
James Hardie siding’s strength and thickness provide impact resistance caused by hail or wind.			Premium vinyl siding is only 5/100" thick.

	*Hardie vs*	Wood

	Weather Resistance
Guaranteed for up to 50 years, even in the most severe climates on earth.			Rot caused by severe moisture exposure is a common problem in composite siding.

	Paint Durability
Resists shrinking and swelling so it holds paint longer than wood.			Shrinks and swells when exposed to moisture which causes paint to crack and flake.

	Pest Resistance
Resistant to termites and other pests known to cause damage.			Wood Siding is subject to decay and pests.
