Designed for the long haul: the lifetime value of Hardie® siding

Your home’s exterior is a significant investment. Hardie® fiber cement products are designed to deliver lasting beauty and dependable performance, with low-maintenance and strong warranty coverage that help support the value of your home over time.

What makes Hardie® siding a lasting investment?

The value of siding goes beyond its initial cost. It comes from how well it performs, how long it maintains its appearance, and how much upkeep it requires over time. See how Hardie siding delivers this value and earned it's title as the #1 brand of siding in North America.*

Lasting beauty

ColorPlus® Technology finishes last longer than jobsite paint and resist chipping, peeling, cracking, and fading to help your home maintain its appearance over time.

Warranty confidence

Hardie® siding is backed by a transferable 30-year, non-prorated limited substrate warranty, meaning eligible coverage does not decrease over time.

Less maintenance

Hardie® fiber cement siding resists damage from external fire, water, weather, pests and time. That means less time worrying about recurring repairs and more confidence in your home’s exterior.

Built for your climate

Hardie® products are Engineered for Climate to deliver dependable performance in the specific weather conditions of your region.

A project that can pay you back

Due to their longevity and durability, Hardie® fiber cement siding products can outlast typical repair, maintenance, and replacement cycles that other materials may require.  Plus, compared to vinyl siding, fiber cement is non-combustible* and hail-damage resistant, which can reduce insurance premiums.

Durable materials for every climate

Only Hardie® fiber cement combines the appearance of natural wood with resistance to moisture, pests, fire, and weather extremes.
