The Harsh Minnesota Weather: Get the Right Siding

2013-12-04_1554If you live in Minnesota, then you know how unpredictable the weather can be; this week is a prime example. With snow and ice storms as well as frigid temps, you want to ensure that your home is protected against all of these elements that get blown your way. In order to do this, you have to ensure that you have the right installation done while also using the best materials for the job. You want someone that will take the extra care to find the right siding that fits your home, needs and of course, the harsh winter weather that Minnesota has.

Fiber Cement Siding From James Hardie Is the Perfect Choice for Minneapolis Homes

Fiber cement siding is the newest type of siding on the market, as well as one of the most talked about as the best type of siding to get. There is very little maintenance involved, it is very durable and is also a certified green product to allow you to be more environmentally friendly. Window Outfitters are a proud installer of James Hardie® fiber cement siding throughout the Minnesota area.

Fiber cement siding is able to hold up better to Mother Nature in Minnesota than aluminum or vinyl siding. Not only that but it emulates natural wood grained siding. It is hard to tell the difference between fiber cement and wood siding due to the level of craftsmanship that goes into this type of siding. The trim detail can be done with extreme care to provide the most beautiful, long lasting and sealed grip to the home.

The best part? It is durable, no matter what type of weather conditions you’re going through at the time.

Fiber cement siding comes pre-finished or primed before it is installed. It is then finished and installed much like natural wood siding would be. Any type of insect damage, wood rot or other wood problems do not come up with this type of siding. Fiber cement is non-combustible and resistant to fires. It might be able to save the structure of your home in case of fires.

It is in the median range for pricing when it comes to purchasing the product and having it installed, but this price can be worth it for the lifetime of savings you will incur. Painting will need to be done from time to time, but very infrequently and quick hosing down is all that needs to be done in order to allow it to have brilliance. The paint will not flake or crack because the siding will not expand with water and there is no prepping needed prior to painting. This makes it close to zero with maintenance that needs to be done.

James Hardie® fiber cement siding also comes with a 30-year limited, transferable warranty, as well as a 15-year warranty on the finish of the paint.

If you’re ready to learn more about James Hardie® fiber cement siding, now is the time to give Window Outfitters a call when it comes to having siding installed on your home. You want to make sure that you have a James Hardie® siding installation contractor in Minnesota do the job for you and do it right.
