Engineered for Climate™
The North American climate creates a variety of challenges for building materials, especially siding. From freezing, sub-zero temperatures, to dry heat, to high humidity, to hurricane force winds, Mother Nature is always testing the exterior of a home. With over four million successful installations, James Hardie has defended North American homes from these elements coast to coast. We are now unveiling
a new concept to the building industry – siding that’s engineered for climate. We call it the HardieZoneTM System. James Hardie has always been ahead of the siding industry curve. With the development of the HardieZoneTM System, that gap has grown wider. James Hardie’s commitment to Research & Development has led to our seventh generation of product advancement, which is the highest performing fiber cement siding in the industry. The HardieZoneTM System represents a logical extension of Hardie technology: “one size does not fit all.”

- Ages beautifully and maintains its original character over time with low maintenance
Durability
- Can become brittle when exposed to extremely cold weather
- Susceptible to impact damage, cracking and splitting
- Vinyl has difficulty maintaining its original shape because it is dimensionally unstable
- Resists warping, cracking and splitting caused by exposure to weather and temperature extremes
- Resists damage from high winds and hail
- Won’t sag or lose shape over time
Color Choices
- Available colors typically include only lighter colors which limit choices. New dark colors are not yet time tested for fading
- Fades at noticeably different rates, creating color inconsistency

- Multi-coat baked-on finish ensures color quality and consistency
Color Flexibility
- Siding color is difficult to change
