Traditional and timeless. Sleek and strong. HardiePlank® lap siding is not just our best-selling product—it’s the most popular brand of siding in America, protecting and beautifying more homes from coast to coast. All styles are Engineered for Climate® and come primed, or with baked-on ColorPlus® Technology.
The things we value most should last the longest. That's why James Hardie invented fiber cement and remain committed to continually raising the bar for the rest of the industry. For decades, James Hardie has made the most beautiful, durable fiber cement products on the market.
- Moisture & rot resistance:
Water can damage your home as nothing else can. It may be gradual, but it is relentless, and can cause mold, swelling, cracking, and color separation. This is where James Hardie stands out from its competitors.
OSB or wood-composite siding has a tendency to expand, buckle, crack and mold when repeatedly exposed to precipitation. Vinyl siding installations may put you at risk for water intrusion, especially around windows and trim joints.
James Hardie products are specifically engineered to withstand damage from moisture and rot and will hold their own, come rain, sleet, or snow.
One thing’s for sure: As the years go on, we all show signs of aging. But since James Hardie products are created to stand up to the demands of your specific climate, they will look great for years, saving you time and money.
With James Hardie's added benefit of ColorPlus® Technology—a baked-on color option that resists fading—your siding will look great without excessive maintenance.
In case of a fire, you want to know that the walls of your house will protect you while your family seeks safety. Fire feasts on wood, and it melts vinyl almost instantly. But James Hardie siding will not ignite when exposed to a direct flame, nor will it contribute fuel to a fire.
Because James Hardie products are non-combustible, many insurance companies offer a discount. We recommend sharing fiber-cement siding's fire-resistance qualities with your insurance carrier.

Mother Nature’s creatures can wreak havoc on some types of siding. Because it’s wood, OSB or wood-composite siding can be pecked by birds and devoured by insects.
James Hardie fiber cement siding offers little appeal to critters and won’t be eaten by termites. So you can focus on the animals in your life that actually make you happy.

Severe weather will test the strength of your home. Hurricanes, hail, and blizzards hit hard and fast. Extreme droughts and relentless heat can go on and on. Your choice of siding, along with proper installation, can help your home stand up to these unpredictable elements.
James Hardie fiber cement siding helps resist the impact of hail and windblown debris and is designed to perform in extreme heat and cold.
As shown here, wood can peel, crack, and expand in harsh weather conditions like hurricanes and tornadoes.
