8 Benefits from James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding

Have you been putting off having new siding installed on your home?

Fall is a great time to stop the procrastinating and just get it done.  Make sure your home is protected before another Minnesota winter blows in.  And the right siding can make all the difference.

It is known that vinyl siding is a good investment (and we do install insulated vinyl siding from Crane) but there are several reasons why James Hardie fiber cement siding could be your home’s best choice.

  • #1:  Resistant to Fire. In areas that are arid and dry and prone to experience wildfires, many insurances companies will offer you a discount if your home has fiber cement siding due to it being non-combustible.
  • #2: Termite Proof. This is great if you live in an area that there is a problem with termites. If you have fiber cement siding you will not have to worry about termites. They do not want to get this stuff in their mouths.
  • #3: Strong. Bright sun and moisture can wreak havoc on your home’s siding. For climates like this, the definite choice for siding would be fiber cement.  Humidity and UV radiation have no effects on fiber cement siding.
  • #4: Resistant to Rot. With the materials in fiber cement siding, there is no worries about receiving damage from water. What this means is there will be less cracking, less swelling, and less mold. Fiber cement siding from James Hardie is an investment that will last, even here in Minnesota where we get lots of snow and heavy rains.
  • #5: Win Against the Cold. Rapid temperature changes and bitter winter cold are no threat to James Hardie siding.  It does not become brittle because of thawing, cold, or freezing temperatures.
  • #6: Little Upkeep. Wood siding has plenty of care involved with painting and then having to repaint, unlike with fiber cement siding. There is an added benefit with James Hardie called ColorPlus Technology, a color option baked-on finish that resists fading. Your siding remains looking great without a lot of unnecessary maintenance.
  • #7: Priced Right. With all the benefits of fiber cement you would believe it to be costly; however it favorably compares with the cost of other siding p0roducts on the market. And when you sell your home, return on investment is maximum with James Hardie fiber cement siding replacement, according to Remodeling Magazine.
  • #8: Artistically Beautiful. Fiber cement siding provides long-lasting beauty for a home. Fiber cement siding comes in styles that look like shingles, plank, lap, shakes, and more. And there are extensive color choices in both the siding and accent trim pieces. There is no going wrong when upgrading with this exceptional siding product.
