Minnesota Homeowners Can Go Green with James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding

You may have noticed some of the homes in your area getting new siding this year after the last hard winter we had.  The siding on a home is the first line of defense that your home has against harsh weather conditions that come with living here in Minnesota.  You do not want these elements to ruin the look or comfort of your home, and siding plays a big part in protecting the house. When it comes to installing the right siding for job, you have many choices to go with. You can choose from aluminum siding, vinyl, fiber cement, wood, fiberglass, steel, and more. One of the biggest recommendations for homeowners to go with is fiber cement siding from The James Hardie Company.

When comparing fiber cement with vinyl siding, you’ll see there are many advantages that fiber cement has. Not only is this siding beautiful on any home, but it is also durable and fire resistant. You can choose from many different colors and styles. It is also versatile and flexible, so you’re able to get the most from it when you put it on your home.

Fiber cement siding is much more durable compared to vinyl siding. Although its initial installation cost is somewhat more expensive than vinyl siding, it performs much better. It is able to stand up to extreme weather conditions such as winds up to 130 mph or extremely hot and cold temperatures. It will not crack, fade or blister with time. It lasts long and always provides beauty.

You’re able to recycle fiber cement siding, unlike other vinyl siding.  This is because vinyl siding is made from up to 80% PVC, which is not recyclable. With James Hardie siding, the mixture of cement, wood fiber and sand allows fiber cement siding to be extremely recyclable. There are also no hazardous chemicals found within the makeup of the product to deem it harmful to the environment.

Fiber cement siding is also a great choice when you consider sustainable options. Since it is made up from recyclable materials, much less energy is used when it comes to making the siding. Vinyl siding requires a lot of electricity in order to be produced. Fiber cement siding is also a great choice to go with in order to improve the energy efficiency within your home.

With all of the benefits that come with fiber cement siding, you can consider making the switch today. If you’re considering fiber cement siding, we are a preferred contractor in the Twin Cities for James Hardie siding, but if you still prefer vinyl, we can install Craneboard insulated vinyl siding for you, as well.  For a free estimate for having James Hardie fiber cement siding installed on your home, give us a call today at (952) 746-6661.  We are a licensed MN home remodeling contractor.
