Tips for Choosing Your James Hardie Siding Color – Part 1

Choosing the type of siding you’re having installed on your home is the first important decision.  The next is the color.  

The color of your home shows off a bit of your personality when you choose a color. Not only does it provide both external and internal values, it can raise the value of the property if properly colored. If you choose the wrong color, this might actually lower the value and make the home look much worse-off. Since it is costly to replace the siding on the home and you don’t want to have to do it each month, it is important to choose the right color.

One siding product we highly recommend is fiber cement from The James Hardie® Company.  You can choose to have this siding painted on site when it’s installed, or you can order it prefinished.  

If you opt for Hardie® siding equipped with their ColorPlus® technology, you can be sure that the finishes are some of the best that you can find for siding.James Hardie® prefinished siding provides so many different color choices to go with. The swatch at right shows just a few shades.

The siding receives multiple coats of paint, more than half as much as other types of siding on the market. Each coat of paint is cured and bonded to the siding to provide a thicker, stronger and longer lasting hold when it is placed on the side of a home. This helps it stand up well to the outside elements such as wind, rain, and sunlight without prematurely breaking down or fading.

Many other siding choices such as wood, vinyl or aluminum that are painted will fade with the sunlight. After just a couple of years, the siding on the home can look worn out.  And it can develop chips and cracks so that it not look as good as it should. James Hardie® siding with ColorPlus® technology is specifically made so none of these issues ever happens.

One of the best features that homeowners enjoy about getting prefinished James Hardie® siding is that the finish comes with a 15-year limited warranty. Thisis your guarantee that the coating on the side of the home is covered in case it does start to fade, crack, chip or break down under normal circumstances.   And if it does, it will be repaired or replaced.

However, the warranty is not going to cover you if you select the wrong color for your home. With so many colors to choose from, it is important to choose the best one for your home and your tastes.  In Part 2 of this series we’ll talk more about factors to consider when choosing your siding color.

This incredible color finish is just one benefit of this siding.  Find out what else you can get from James Hardie® Siding.
