Color That's Made to Last
Hardie® siding is
designed for durability, and with ColorPlus® Technology
finishes, it resists fading and other effects of UV light. In fact,
James Hardie provides a limited
warranty for ColorPlus® Technology finishes that covers
paint and labor and protects against peeling, cracking and chipping
for up to 15 years. All Hardie® fiber cement siding
products also come with a 30-year non-prorated limited substrate
warranty for added peace of mind.
Hardie® siding with ColorPlus® Technology
finishes goes through a unique process before it's installed on
your home. The finish is cured in between coats in a controlled
environment for an even stronger bond. The baked on finish lasts
longer than a typical paint job and requires less maintenance. And
as you absorb your home's calming, Evening Blue exterior,
you can relax knowing that Hardie® fiber cement holds no
appeal for woodpeckers, termites and other pests and, most
importantly, is noncombustible so it will not burn in a fire*. Only
Hardie® siding is Engineered for
Climate® to withstand wet or freezing conditions in
the North and hot, humid conditions and blistering sun in the
South.
