Beauty And Performance: The Benefits of James Hardie® Siding

Choosing the right siding brand is important. Your siding protects your home from the weather, enhances your home’s appeal, and contributes to your home’s energy efficiency. The perfect siding for your home excels at all three. Colonial Remodeling offers James Hardie® fiber-cement siding because of its unique advantages.

HardieZone®

James Hardie developed their HardieZone system because various areas in the country experience different weather conditions. This system addresses the siding requirements for different climate regions by establishing two distinct siding lines, HZ5® and HZ10®. The former focuses on areas that experience cold weather, while the latter focuses on areas with intense sun exposure.

If precipitation is a concern, consider a James Hardie siding installation in Alexandria, VA. Our area falls under the HZ5 product line. This siding features a reduced water absorption rate, a drip edge, and a fortified surface. James Hardie also specially formulated the product to resist damage from moisture, snow and ice, and freezing temperatures.

ColorPlus® Technology

James Hardie siding is also an excellent choice for giving your home a makeover. ColorPlus® Technology is a unique finishing process that helps the siding resist fading, chipping, cracking, and peeling. James Hardie siding will look great for years with little maintenance. In addition, it also has a curated color palette with several great color combinations.

Insulation

Just like vinyl siding in Fairfax, VA, we can install James Hardie fiber-cement siding over rigid foam insulation. This increases your home’s energy efficiency. Insulation will improve your home’s comfort level, reduce air infiltration, and help you save on utility bills. Since energy can’t escape through insulation, your interior’s temperature becomes stable. This reduces your utility system’s workload, leading to less consumption of energy and decreased bills.

James Hardie siding will enhance your home’s beauty to it a more comfortable and secure place. Colonial Remodeling has been providing our neighbors in Northern Virginia and Maryland the highest quality products and services for nearly 20 years. Our wealth of experience and certifications mean we can make the best recommendations for your home.
