James Hardie™is America’s premiere manufacturer of fiber cement siding. Hardie cement siding is a durable, beautiful, more weather-resistant alternative to vinyl siding. It gives you the beauty of wood without the maintenance hassles or pest issues.
Why James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding?
With age, vinyl siding can become brittle, making it vulnerable to wind or impact damage. Vinyl can also buckle, warp, or crack with changing temperatures.
Fiber cement HardiePlanks cost less than wood siding. They don’t attract pests, and they also resist water absorption. This makes them resistant to damage from mold, swelling and cracking.
James Hardie makes their fiber cement siding with a mix of Portland cement, water, sand, cellulose fiber, and other ingredients. These long boards are rigid but have a degree of flexibility so they are more durable than vinyl. They are also up to 500% thicker than vinyl, which means they look more like wood siding and give your home more curb appeal.
With vinyl siding, you can only choose between the manufacturer’s colors. Hardie’s Primed for Paint collection lets you choose the color you want. And if you want to avoid painting, you can choose from the siding options in Hardie’s ColorPlus collection.
SETTING UP THE VAPOR BARRIER
Hardie™ designs its Weather Barrier specifically for the challenging weather conditions in Long Island and NYC.
HardieWrap’s patented MicroTech™ coating resists water intrusion from the outside but allows moist vapor to escape from the inside. This keeps water from building up after heavy rain.
BLIND NAILING
Hardie recommends you install its fiber cement siding using blind nailing. Blind nailing refers to nailing each board to the framing. The next layer overlaps the nails, hiding them from view.
Installers must drill pilot holes before nailing the siding to the wall framing. If they do not, you will get cracks around the nail site. These aren’t just unsightly. They also endanger the siding integrity.
CAULKING AND SEALING
Your siding installer must use appropriate underlayment and flashing around all window and door openings. All seams must be completely caulked for an airtight, water-tight and energy-efficient seal.
It’s hard to miss a bad caulking job. Good caulking seals the seam without leaving unsightly blobs of excess caulking visible.
DISPOSAL AND DUMP FEE
Cleanup is the final step in any siding project, and it’s one of the most important. Before we leave, we remove all debris and garbage from your home and yard.
We understand that home improvement projects can be costly. In over three decades in the business, we’ve worked with a lot of local lenders and financing agents. If you’re not sure how you’re going to finance your siding renovation project, we can put you in touch with them.
If you already have financing in hand, we work with your lender to make sure all paperwork arrives on time and in proper order. Siding replacement is a big commitment. We want to make it as stress-free for you as possible.
