Color That's 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's 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's calming, Evening Blue 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® to withstand wet or freezing conditions in the North and hot, humid conditions and blistering sun in the South.
