What Makes Hardie Board Better?
Odyssey Siding is proud to partner with James Hardie to provide the best-engineered fiber cement siding and trim available on the market. Hardie board is a type of fiber cement siding that is made by mixing wood pulp, cement, and sand. It is known for its durability, longevity, and resistance to fire, pests, and moisture. Hardie board can also mimic the appearance of other siding materials, such as wood or shingles, and comes in a variety of colors and textures.
One of the main advantages of Hardie board siding is its durability and longevity. Hardie board siding is designed to resist moisture, rot, fire, insects, and weather damage. It can last up to 50 years with proper installation and maintenance, which is much longer than vinyl or wood siding. Hardie board siding also has a warranty that covers material defects and finish quality for up to 30 years.
Another advantage of Hardie board siding is its aesthetic appeal and versatility. Hardie board siding can mimic the appearance of various siding materials, such as wood lap boards, cedar shingles, and wood shake siding2. It also comes in a wide range of colors and textures that can suit any architectural style and personal preference. Hardie board siding can enhance the curb appeal and value of your home with its attractive and durable look.
A third advantage of Hardie board siding is its fire resistance and safety. Hardie board siding is composed of 90% sand and cement, which makes it non-combustible and fire-resistant. It does not ignite or melt when exposed to heat or flames, unlike vinyl or wood siding. Hardie board siding can also protect your home from termites, rodents, and other pests that can damage wood siding. Hardie board siding is a safe and reliable choice for your home’s exterior.
How Does Hardie Board Siding Compare to Vinyl or Wood Siding?
One of the most significant advantages of our Hardie Board siding is its low maintenance requirements. Wood siding, for example, needs to be painted or stained every few years to maintain its appearance and protect it from the elements. This can be time-consuming and costly, especially if you have a large home. On the other hand, vinyl siding is not as durable as Hardie Board siding and is more susceptible to damage from impact or extreme weather. Vinyl siding will also not be able to provide the aesthetic that wood siding does. Our Hardie Board siding combines the look of wood with the maintenance-free quality of vinyl siding and is available in a wide range of colors and styles – so you can choose the option that best fits your home.
Wood and vinyl siding offer different costs and benefits than Hardie Board siding. Wood siding can be painted or stained, but it will not hold up as well over time and will require constant maintenance. Vinyl siding is available in the largest selection of colors and profiles on the market, but in comparison, it can often look plastic or fake, and it may not be as durable as fiber cement siding. Hardie Board siding is also a better investment in the long run than traditional wood or cedar siding. Its low maintenance requirements mean you won’t have to spend time or money on upkeep. This means that, over time, you’ll save money on maintenance and repairs compared to wood siding.
Overall, Hardie Board siding is the best option for any homeowner who wants to stick with the traditional look of natural wood without the headaches that come along with it. It offers a combination of durability, low maintenance, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal that you won’t find with other siding materials. You will be pleased with your investment in our fiber cement siding.
