Vinyl Siding That Looks Like Wood Can’t Top HardiePlank® Siding for Minneapolis Homes

When choosing a siding that’s got the appearance of real wood, some homeowners choose to go with vinyl because of the price. Yes, vinyl siding continues to be one of the most economical choices for homeowners here in the Minneapolis area.  But here at Window Outfitters we wanted to let you know more about HardiePlank® siding and why you’d want to choose when it’s time to replace the siding on your home.  James Hardie fiber cement siding comes in a number of styles; HardiePlank® has been designed to look like genuine wood siding.

There multiple benefits to fiber cement siding that you couldn’t get with vinyl. Also, HardiePlank® (as well as their other styles) is backed by a guarantee than many siding manufacturers don’t offer to their customers. Here are some other reasons why it is also top rated in the siding industry:

  • Color Flexible
  • Non-Combustible
  • Weather Resistant – Up to 150 mph Winds
  • Warrantied for 30 Years
  • Extremely Protective

Prefinished HardiePlank® provides homeowners with many color and style options so that they’re able to choose something they truly like. You don’t have to resort to using vinyl siding just because of the selection that a vinyl manufacturer might offer. Hardie siding offers these, and much more, siding options:

  • Traditional Overlapping Siding for a Classic Appearance
  • Cedar Shake Siding Appearance
  • Horizontal Beaded Siding
  • Scalloped Shakes

Whatever the style is that you want, or even the color selection, HardiePlank® offers homeowners the beautiful look of wood as well as the durability they need to protect the outside of their homes from harsh Minnesota weather. It provides unsurpassed quality when compared to multiple other siding options currently on the market today. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at all that this siding offers its users.
