What Should You Know About Hardieshingle Siding?

HardieShingle® siding is an attractive and durable fiber-cement shingle siding for exterior walls. It is available as staggered-edge panels or straight-edge panels of 48-inch long by 16-inch high. HardieShingle panels are also available in decorative half-round shingles. Whether you’re building a new home or replacing old siding, the sheer volume of Hardieshingle siding options available can be overwhelming. Here is everything you need to know about HardieShingle® siding.

A Versatile Look

Just like traditional cedar shingles, HardieShingle® siding offers an aesthetic look. However, it’s not susceptible to rotting, splitting, or cracking like wood shingles. Besides, Hardieshingle siding doesn’t require the level of maintenance cedar does. 

You can choose between two distinct panel styles. The straight edge panels are great for traditional or modern homes since they provide clean lines. However, if you prefer a relaxed or informal look, you can opt for the staggered configuration, especially if you have a ranch or Cape Cod-style home.

Unmatched Durability

Indianapolis weather can be hard on your home’s exterior covering. You, therefore, need a siding solution that can withstand the beating for years to come. James Hardie® siding is made with fiber cement and engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions. Moreover, HardieShingle® siding is fire resistant and won’t ignite when exposed to direct flames, and doesn’t serve as fuel. For added peace of mind, HardieShingle siding comes with a 30-year warranty, which is transferable and non-prorated.

A Broad Array of Color Options

Generally, James Hardie siding products are available in a wide range of colors. So regardless of your home’s exterior décor, you can choose just the right hue to suit your home. Besides, HardieShingle panels are designed with ColorPlus® Technology, meaning the panels are coated multiple times at the factory. After each coat, the finish is adequately cured for a baked-on bond to achieve an excellent and uniform color that withstands UV damage.

The manufacturing process of HardieShingles siding ensures your siding’s color won’t fade, chip, peel, or crack, guaranteeing you several years of worry-free brilliant color on your home. Depending on your preference, you can even choose pre-primed panels that come ready to be painted.
