HardiePlank™ Siding
HardieWrap™
Fiber cement siding was invented by James Hardie over 20 years ago and was introduced in the United States in the early 90's. Its proprietary formulation of Portland cement, finely ground sand, and natural fibers, give it the durability to resist damage from fire, as well as severe wind, termites, and moisture. James Hardie is the leading manufacturer of fiber cement products. HardiePlankTM fiber cement siding is designed to last a lifetime, resisting cracking, rotting, hail damage, termites, and many other possible problems. James Hardie Shingle Siding products come with a 50-year transferable limited warranty.
