Fibre Cement & Hardie Siding FAQs

What is Fibre Cement (Hardie) Siding?

Fibre cement siding (like James Hardie) is a durable composite of Portland cement, sand, water, and cellulose fibres. Unlike wood, it resists rot, pests, and fire. Unlike vinyl, it is thicker and more impact-resistant.

Is Fibre Cement Siding better than vinyl?

Fibre cement siding offers superior durability, a more premium look, and is non-combustible. It has a longer warranty and higher ROI. Vinyl siding is a more budget-friendly, low-maintenance option. We can help you compare which is right for your home.

How long does Fibre Cement Siding last?

Top brands like James Hardie come with a 30-year, non-prorated, transferable warranty. When installed to manufacturer specifications (including proper weather barrier and flashing), it can last 50 years or more, even in harsh coastal climates.

Do you install products with baked-on colour?

Yes. We install both pre-primed fibre cement (ready for paint) and products with factory-applied finishes, like Hardie’s popular ColorPlus® Technology. This baked-on colour layer is extremely durable and resists fading, chipping, and cracking.
