Fiber cement siding (also broadly known today as James Hardie siding) serves to organize the facing of a house to create the appearance of wood or vinyl siding.
Invented more than a century ago, this type of cement siding was originally used as the outer covering installation for the house to be able to withstand extreme climatic conditions while preserving the beauty of the building itself.
Currently, this product is widely used in every part of the world,
including Vancouver and Canada’s whole territory, mainly in areas of
extreme weather conditions.
Advantages of James Hardie Siding
Hardie cement-based siding installation has the following advantages:
Environmental Safety
Fiber cement consists of natural materials that do not cause any harm to the environment;
Durability
The technology of James Hardie board production makes siding sufficiently resistant to mechanical stress;
No corrosion
Cement siding mixes are not subject to rust, decay, fungus, and bacteria;
Excellent heat retention
It is always possible to install a layer of insulation between the house walls and the panels. However, unlike many materials, Hardie board fiber cement siding has quite good thermal insulation properties;
Resistance to ultraviolet radiation
Sun rays, with rare exceptions, will not cause any harm to the colour of the James Hardie siding and its properties;
Minimal deformation
During temperature jumps (which are not rare in Vancouver). The panels retain their shape and quality even at temperatures above 50 °C (and below – 50°C) with a proper James Hardie panel installation;
Refractoriness
Complete inability to burn
Soundproofing
Persistent colour
Lasts up to 10 years
