Hurricane Resistance:
?We were able to return to our home after Hurricane Katrina. Compared to other homes in our area this close to the beach, most aren?t even standing. There?s no telling what would have happened to our home had we not used HardiePlank lap siding. We?re so glad that we had an intact house to come home to.?
Larry Martin
Homeowner
Hail Resistance:
?In the Midwest, you never know what kind of weather to expect. From rain and snow to sleet and hail, your home needs to be able to stand up to the elements. Before re-siding my house, I researched all products and chose James Hardie siding. I trust James Hardie siding to protect my home and my family.?

Climate Changes:

Wind Resistance:
?The Long Island area is prone to high winds and we?ve had no problem with blow-offs using James Hardie siding products. James Hardie's performance has been proven throughout the nation's most severe weather climates, from the harsh rainfall of the Pacific Northwest to the hurricane-force winds that plague the Southeast.?

Rot Resistance:
?Seattle homeowners wanting a cedar shake look for the exterior of their homes have traditionally had to settle for installing wood shingles. However, over time wood tends to rot and crack in the extreme moisture of the Pacific Northwest, causing many different repair problems. By installing HardieShingle siding from James Hardie, homeowners can get a great cedar shake look without all the maintenance, so a home stays as beautiful as the day it was purchased.?

Insect Resistance:
?Termite control is important to consider when building a new home or updating your current investment. James Hardie siding products are a natural choice because termites and other insects cannot live in their unique material.?
