Fiber Cement from James Hardie Is a Highly Durable Siding Option When Compared with Vinyl

With the recent severe storms that hit the north Minneapolis area earlier in June, some homeowners around the Twin Cities metro are finding they need to replace their siding this summer.  If you’re one of them, we’d like you to consider fiber cement siding from The James Hardie Company.

Window Outfitters is proud to recommend Hardie products  to our customers because they produce some of the most reliable forms of siding available today, certainly more long-lasting than vinyl is. Fiber cement siding stands out when compared to vinyl for all of the following reasons.

• Enhanced Insulation – Hardie siding offers more insulation than vinyl does. That means that you’ll enjoy a more comfortable home with fewer drafts and better energy efficiency levels overall.
• Weather Resistance – This fiber cement siding holds up surprisingly well against most standard weather conditions. It can handle high winds, sun damage, most forms of precipitation and it will continue to look nice long after the first year of installation.
• The Color Lasts – With many forms of siding, vinyl included, the original color that you begin with is not what you have after a few years of use. The color fades and you end up with a less desirable look over time. The color holds true for much longer if you choose Hardie siding with ColorPlus® finish, which is one of the things that our customers seem to enjoy the most.
• Wide Variety of Color Options – Unlike vinyl siding that’s somewhat limited on the color that you can get, you can obtain Hardie siding and trim in a wide variety of colors from their curated color palettes, making it easy to match an existing color scheme and to make your home look exactly the way you want it to. Or you can choose siding that is preprimed and can be painted on site in whatever color you’d like.  This is an excellent perk for homeowners looking for a very specific shade.
• Easy Inspections – There are some siding types that are difficult to get approval from a local building inspector; Hardie siding is not one of them. Most inspectors are familiar with the product and are happy to pass it for use on a home.

Siding is one of the most important products protecting your house, inside and out. Here are some tips to know what siding material is right for your home.
