JAMES HARDIE FIBER CEMENT FAQs

Got questions? We’ve got straight answers.

What is James Hardie siding made of?

James Hardie siding is made from fiber cement—a durable mix of Portland cement, sand, water, and cellulose fibers. It’s engineered to resist weather, pests, fire, and fading, making it one of the most durable siding products available.

How long does James Hardie siding last?

When properly installed, James Hardie siding can last 50 years or more. It comes with a 30-year non-prorated warranty, and it’s designed to stand up to extreme weather, moisture, and UV exposure.

Does James Hardie siding need to be painted?

James Hardie offers two main finish options:

Primed siding, which needs to be painted after installation

ColorPlus® Technology, which is a factory-applied, baked-on finish that resists fading, chipping, and peeling—and includes a 15-year finish warranty

Is fiber cement siding resistant to fire?

Yes. James Hardie siding is non-combustible and recognized by fire departments nationwide for its superior fire resistance. It will not ignite when exposed to direct flame or extreme heat.

How does James Hardie siding compare to vinyl siding?

While vinyl is lower cost and easier to install, James Hardie fiber cement offers:

Greater durability and impact resistance

Superior appearance with deeper wood-grain texture

Better fire and weather resistance

Longer lifespan with minimal fading

It’s ideal for homeowners who want a premium exterior that lasts for decades and adds long-term value.

Can James Hardie siding handle New England’s climate?

Yes. James Hardie has a HZ5® product line specifically engineered for cold, wet climates like New England. It resists moisture damage, cracking, and warping even in freezing conditions.

Is fiber cement siding environmentally friendly?

Compared to vinyl and wood, fiber cement is considered more environmentally responsible. It’s made with sustainable raw materials, is long-lasting (which reduces waste), and is not petroleum-based like vinyl.

How much does James Hardie siding cost compared to vinyl?

James Hardie siding typically costs more upfront than vinyl—often 30–50% more—but it offers superior durability, longer lifespan, and greater home value. It’s a smart investment for homeowners who plan to stay in their home or want a premium finish.

What kind of maintenance does James Hardie siding require?

With ColorPlus® finish, maintenance is simple: just wash it once or twice a year to remove dirt and debris. No repainting, no sealing—just reliable, long-lasting protection.
