A trusted name, with a proven product.
With over a century of experience in creating innovative materials to protect homes from aging and the elements, today our products are the result of research and development combining exacting standards with the finest raw materials. We operate the only R & D facility in the U.S. devoted exclusively to fiber-cement technology. To prove the value of our products, James Hardie® backs most of our lap and panel sidings with a 50-year limited transferable product only warranty. Our fiber-cement siding is now on over three million homes in North America, a growing testament to our dedication to producing one of the world's most beautiful and durable siding.
A superior product backed with service and support.
James Hardie siding cuts, handles and nails like wood. It installs just as quickly and has the same beauty and luster. Yet wood can't compete with its strength and durability. Our proprietary manufacturing technology ensures a uniformity of composition and superiority of structural characteristics you simply cannot achieve with wood, vinyl or other siding products. Paint even lasts 3-4 times longer than on wood and our products won't warp, crack, rot or delaminate. James Hardie products are complemented by the service and support expected from the industry leader. In addition to our highly trained field representatives, technical experts and customer service teams, James Hardie has an award-winning website with a section designed to assist architects with their specific needs. A comprehensive Product and Technical CD-ROM is also available for architects, builders and remodelers alike. James Hardie is committed to providing superior products with unrivaled service and support.
