Color That鈥檚 Made to Last
Hardie siding is designed for durability, and with ColorPlus Technology finishes, it resists fading and other effects of UV light. In fact, James Hardie provides a limited warranty for ColorPlus Technology finishes that covers paint and labor and protects against peeling, cracking and chipping for up to 15 years. All Hardie fiber cement siding products also come with a 30-year non-prorated limited substrate warranty for added peace of mind.
Hardie siding with ColorPlus Technology finishes goes through a unique process before it鈥檚 installed on your home. The finish is cured in between coats in a controlled environment for an even stronger bond. The baked-on finish lasts longer than a typical paint job and requires less maintenance. And as you absorb your home鈥檚 calming,听Evening Blue听exterior, you can relax knowing that Hardie fiber cement holds no appeal for woodpeckers, termites and other pests and, most importantly, is noncombustible so it will not burn in a fire. Only Hardie siding is Engineered for Climate听to withstand wet or freezing conditions in the North and hot, humid conditions and blistering sun in the South.
