What to Know About James Hardie Siding
With manufacturing plants in the United States, Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines, James Hardie is the largest siding manufacturer in the world. Since the 1980s, James Hardie has been a pioneer in the development of fiber cement siding technology. Today, the brand is synonymous with beauty, durability, versatility and strength.

It is five times thicker than vinyl, which enhances its energy-efficient qualities and provides an authentic wood-grain effect. We offer James Hardie siding in a range of colors and styles to fit every home design, no matter what the home’s style or age.
