James Hardie Siding

Pick your Siding Product

Hardiplank Lap – The most popular type of James Hardie siding is Hardieplank Lap.  This traditional and timeless choice comes in a Beaded or Smooth texture.  The Beaded Cedarmill option has a soft texture that mimics wood, and is a great choice for historic homes.  The Smooth option is more simple and clean – an excellent choice for a coastal home.

Hardieshingle – Shingles can be used to intensify a home’s architectural features, or as a siding for an entire house.  James Hardie offers two types of shingle siding.  The first is Staggered Edge Panel.  These shingles are perfect for a classic cape cod or a ranch in a wooded setting.  To achieve a clean, more tailored look, Hardieshingle also comes in Straight Edge Panel.  This shingle siding is often used to soften a contemporary design.

Hardiepanel Vertical – Residing your home with Hardiepanel Vertical siding is a way to add a visual punch to your design without being too trendy.  This type of siding is often used on contemporary homes.  Much like the Hardieplank lap, Hardiepanel comes in the Beaded Cedarmill and Smooth options.  In addition, Hardiepanel Vertical also offers a Stucco and a Sierra 8 texture.  The warm, inviting look of Stucco is perfect for a tutor-style home. The Sierra 8 Vertical embodies a combination of texture and linear detail, which can add personality to a house that lacks dimension.

Artisan – For the homeowner with impeccable taste, James Hardie offers the Artisan collection.  This siding offers gorgeous, deep shadow lines and extra thick boards.  James Hardie Artisan siding is an architectural grade option that is the perfect choice for the finest luxury home.
