James Hardie siding is the most popular brand of new siding in America and can be found on over 4 million homes. With its strength, beauty and durability, Hardie siding enhances and protects homes in all kinds of climates-and now, with the HardieZoneTM System, James Hardie provides siding with specific performance attributes relative to the climate where the product is being used. James Hardie now gives you the optimum siding for your home and climate, regardless of location.

1. FIRE PREVENTION

No building material can guarantee a fireproof home, but there are some preventive measures that a homeowner can take to better prepare for fires-like installing a non-combustible home exterior.

2. PRODUCT FLEXIBILITY

Because Hardie siding is designed to match many existing types of wood siding, like wood clapboard and cedar siding, it can be used in more challenging historic preservation projects where specific exposures, textures and colors must be approved by local municipalities. This flexibility allows you to have the best of both worlds-a beautiful home, and the best siding on the market.

3. HURRICANE RESISTANCE

The property damage from hurricanes and tornadoes can be staggering. Due to its impact resistance against hail and windblown debris, fiber-cement siding has been specified by hurricane-zone building codes for building homes in hurricane-, tornado- and wildfire-prone areas.

4. LIFETIME VALUE
