James Hardie Hardiplank^® and Hardipanel™ exterior sidings give all the installation options you need for exterior walls, gables and basements.

They're also ideal for remodeling and residing older homes and blend perfectly with other building materials.

James Hardie fiber-reinforced cement exterior sidings won't rot and are immune to water damage, salt spray, termite attack and hurricane force winds.

Hardipanel™ vertical siding is a durable, fiber-reinforced cement sheet. Tough and flexible, it's ideal for many general exterior building purposes, including walls, porches and gable ends. With excellent structural and impact properties, it is able to be used as a shear panel.

Hardiplank fiber-cement exterior siding is a durable, attractive alternative to traditional wood composite, cedar, vinyl, brick or stucco sidings.

Combining the look and warmth of natural wood with the durability of fiber-cement, Hardiplank resists damage from extended exposure to humidity, rain, snow, salt air and termites. It is dimensionally stable and under normal conditions will not crack, rot or delaminate.

Hardiplank installs just as easily as natural wood siding - but offers a lifetime of low maintenance backed by a 50-year product warranty.

Ideal for residential and light commercial applications, Hardiplank lap siding is available factory primed in four attractive profiles. A variety of widths provide regional design flexibility.

James Hardie also offers finishing touches like Hardisoffit and Harditrim in textures to complement the siding of your choice.
