There are many reasons that we recommend James Hardie® products to our customers, but chief among them is PROTECTION. More than any other siding option, fiber cement offers unparalleled protection against nature. From fire, to flood, even to pests, James Hardie® is the superior choice.
But you don’t have to take our word for it! James Hardie® has assembled an entire playlist of videos showcasing their durability, and here are a few highlights. In this first video, Hardie puts its product’s noncombustibility to the test with a fire demonstration. They built four identical wooden structures, each sided with a different material. When these structures were subjected to a controlled burn, the results were quite impressive. See for yourself:

However, the elements are not the only source of potential damage to your home. In this testimonial, James Hardie® spoke with homeowners who were able to solve their persistent woodpecker issues by switching to fiber cement siding:
Against the toughest challenges siding can face, products manufactured by James Hardie® come out on top — they’re warranted to not crack, split, or warp as a result of damage from heat, water, pests, and freezing temperatures when tested in accordance with ASTM C1185.
