If you’ve been in the market for new siding, you may have started to hear about a great siding material called Hardiplank. Hardiplank was created by the James Hardie Company as a great option that’s better quality than vinyl, but not as expensive or high maintenance as wood.

Hardiplank is a fiber cement siding, which means it is part wood and part cement. This gives it the durability of cement, without cement’s weight and appearance.  Because there are only fibers of wood mixed in with the cement, you avoid the rot and insect damage that occurs with pure wood siding.

Wood is a classic and attractive siding material, but in addition to the rot and insect problems, it requires huge amounts of maintenance, such as painting and board replacement, to continue looking nice for many years. It is also a fire hazard. But with Hardiplank siding from James Hardie, you can get the look of wood without its problems.  Hardiplank is manufactured with a wood grain, giving it a very nice appearance.  It is thick and paintable, but can also be left in its original finish and go decades without major maintenance.  So talk with your siding contractor about Hardiplank siding from James Hardie to see if this quality material is what you’re looking for.
