Hardie Board: An Innovative Siding Product

The Unique Features and Benefits of Hardie Board

Many people choose Hardie board for the variety of characteristics and advantages that are distinctive to this fiber cement siding.

• Durability: Hardie board is known for its durability and resistance to weathering as well as moisture and rot. It is designed to withstand harsh climates and severe weather events, so it is a popular option in areas like St. Louis, that frequently experience extreme weather conditions. Fiber cement siding won’t swell, crack, buckle, or warp because it has been engineered to resist water damage and rot.
• Fire resistance: Unlike vinyl, which melts almost instantly, or wood, which turns to kindling, Hardie fiber cement siding won’t burn or fuel the flames when it is exposed to fire. Its ability to resist fire helps contribute to the safety of your structure and your peace of mind.
• Pest resistance: Hardie board is built to hold up against all sorts of pesky creatures, as opposed to wood siding which can be chewed up by critters, pecked at by birds, or severely damaged by termites or other insects.
• Low maintenance: Thanks to its ability to resist rot, insect damage, and warping, Hardie board siding requires little to no maintenance to continue looking great for many years. Because it is less susceptible to damage and weathering, Hardie board doesn’t need frequent repairs, and its color won’t fade.
• Design versatility: Not only does Hardie board come in a wide range of colors, but it is also available in a variety of styles and textures, including options that imitate the appearance of wood, stucco, or other materials. You’re sure to be able to find a Hardie siding that will fit the aesthetic of your home or business. Hardie board is relatively easy to paint or stain, so there’s no need to re-side if your color preferences change.

The beautiful design and incredible functionality of Hardie board will increase both the curb appeal and value of your structure.
