James Hardie Siding
September 2, 2021
Part of the mission at Craft Homes is creating high-quality homes that are built to last. To achieve this goal, we select industry partners who share the same values and commitment to quality. One of those partners is James Hardie, the inventor and leading supplier of fiber cement siding in the United States. We’re one of very few builders in the area that invest in their products, giving us a huge leg up on builders who settle for traditional vinyl, wood or engineered wood siding. See how James Hardie helps take nu homes Oklahoma to the next level.
A truly superior siding
James Hardie fiber cement products combine the beautiful design homeowners want with the high performance they need—repeatedly beating out competitors in both curb appeal and durability. With over 30 years of experience in creating the highest quality product on the market, James Hardie has earned their place as the #1 most popular brand of siding in the country.
Performance and durability
The exterior of your home is exposed to the elements all day, every day, for years. Weather, water, pests and time itself all wear away at traditional types of siding faster than you’d expect—but James Hardie’s fiber cement siding is engineered to withstand even the harshest conditions.
Fiber cement is the most durable type of siding on the market, and can protect from a variety of issues. It’s moisture and rot resistant, while wood-based siding has the tendency to expand, buckle or crack after repeated bouts of precipitation. It’s more durable over time, and fends off the signs of aging that other materials aren’t built to prevent.
Lifetime value
When builders like nu homes Oklahoma invest in James Hardie siding, they’re investing in a longer lifetime that has many benefits for the homeowners. Fiber cement siding costs less than wood and has a higher level of performance and durability, so homeowners will save more money over the years. With color that lasts, you won’t find yourself hiring a painter every three to seven years, as suggested for wood siding. An added bonus is the lower insurance costs that fiber cement siding can sometimes influence. Fiber cement siding is non-combustible and hail-damage resistant, which can reduce home insurance premiums for some homeowners.
These benefits will only add to the lifetime value of your home. Additionally, 91 percent of builders agree that fiber cement siding increases a home’s appraisal value—so you’ll really be getting more bang for your buck.
