At every step of our business, from raw material supplier to the distribution channel, contractor, all the way to the homeowner, excellence and performance drive us. We are a team that works together to deliver the best quality products with the highest levels of customer service. That’s why the brands of James Hardie — Hardie®, TimberTech®, AZEK®, and StruXure® — are preferred above the competition.
Inventing what’s next
James Hardie invented fiber cement 130 years ago, and we’ve been improving on our namesake founder’s work ever since. Some of our brands’ innovations include: Creating the first 100% PVC premium decking with aesthetics to rival ipe and other tropical woods, inventing PVC trim and moulding that will never rot, and and developing Engineered for Climate® fiber cement that optimizes performance regionally whether in southern Florida or northern Minnesota. Our R&D centers are continuously innovating to meet changing customer needs.
Building stronger communities
James Hardie is proud to partner with Habitat for Humanity® with volunteers, financial support, and donating hundreds of thousands of square feet of materials. It’s an excellent fit for both organizations, because Habitat’s mission and Hardie’s purpose — Building Better Future For All™ — are closely aligned.
