Who is James Hardie?

Who is James Hardie? James Hardie invented fiber cement siding over 30 years ago. With this much time in the industry, it has given the company time to improve and strengthen the product over the years. They are leading the industry by being America’s #1 most popular brand of siding. 

Benefits of Fiber Cement Siding:  Many homeowners are now considering switching over to fiber cement when it comes to replacing their siding. Fiber Cement siding has many advantages that vinyl siding simply just can not provide. Now, with that being said, choosing vinyl siding does not mean your home won’t be protected. Vinyl siding still provides the protection needed for a home to be in its best shape. Fiber Cement on the other hand, reinforces other areas to keep your home not only at its best curb appeal, but taking advantage of its performance and durability.

What is fiber cement siding made up of? James Hardie Siding is made up of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. This combination of materials provides the home with a strong protection and beautiful look.
