Why Choose HardieShingle® Siding?
1. Authentic Cedar Look Without the Maintenance
One of the main attractions of HardieShingle Siding is its ability to replicate the natural beauty of cedar shingles. The product features deep shadow lines and a textured surface that closely mimics the look and feel of real wood, offering a rustic charm that enhances any home. However, unlike real cedar, HardieShingle requires minimal maintenance, making it an ideal choice for those who love the look of wood but don’t want the hassle of frequent upkeep.
Staggered Edge Panels: These panels provide a more rustic, handcrafted look, perfect for creating a cozy, traditional aesthetic. The staggered edges give the impression of individually installed shingles, adding depth and character to your home’s exterior.
Straight Edge Panels: For a more uniform and clean appearance, straight edge panels offer a crisp, consistent line that works well with both traditional and modern architectural styles.
2. Durability That Outperforms Wood
HardieShingle Siding is designed to withstand the harshest conditions, making it far more durable than wood shingles. Fiber cement is resistant to moisture, which means it won’t rot, swell, or crack like wood can. Additionally, HardieShingle is impervious to pests, including termites and carpenter ants, which can wreak havoc on natural wood siding.
Weather Resistance: Whether you live in a region with heavy rainfall, intense sunlight, or freezing temperatures, HardieShingle Siding is engineered to resist damage from all kinds of weather conditions.
Fire Resistance: HardieShingle is made from non-combustible materials, providing excellent fire resistance and offering peace of mind for homeowners in fire-prone areas.
Pest Resistance: Unlike wood, which can attract termites and other pests, HardieShingle Siding is not a food source for insects, ensuring your siding remains intact and beautiful over time.
3. Low Maintenance with Lasting Beauty
One of the significant advantages of choosing HardieShingle Siding over traditional wood is the reduced maintenance. Thanks to James Hardie’s ColorPlus® Technology, the color on HardieShingle Siding lasts longer and requires far less maintenance than traditional paint or stain.
