Explore James Hardie Siding Styles
James Hardie offers several siding profiles that can be used individually or combined to create a custom exterior design.
Hardie® Plank Lap Siding
Hardie® Plank lap siding provides a traditional horizontal siding appearance. It is available in different textures and finishes, making it a versatile choice for many home styles.
A good option for: Traditional, transitional, colonial, and contemporary home designs.
Hardie® Panel Vertical Siding
Vertical panel siding can create a clean, distinctive appearance. It is often used for full walls, architectural sections, or combined with other siding profiles.
A good option for: Modern homes, farmhouse-inspired designs, and accent areas.
Hardie® Board and Batten
Board and batten uses vertical panels combined with trim battens to create a more dimensional exterior.
A good option for: Farmhouse, cottage, and modern home designs.
Hardie® Shingle Siding
Shingle-style siding can add texture and architectural character to specific areas of a home.
A good option for: Gables, accent walls, and homes with traditional or coastal-inspired architecture.
Hardie® Trim
Trim helps create finished edges around windows, doors, corners, rooflines, and other exterior features. Coordinating trim can also help define the overall siding design.
Hardie® Soffit
Soffit is installed beneath the eaves and roof overhangs. James Hardie offers vented and non-vented soffit options depending on the design and ventilation requirements of the home.
Why Choose James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding?
James Hardie fiber cement products are made with materials including sand, water, cellulose fibers, and Portland cement. The product is designed to offer long-term exterior performance while providing a variety of design choices.
Engineered for Climate®
Weather conditions can be demanding on a home's exterior. James Hardie products are developed for regional climate conditions through the company's Engineered for Climate® program.
Noncombustible Fiber Cement
James Hardie states that its fiber cement siding complies with ASTM E136 as a noncombustible cladding material. The fiber cement itself will not burn, although this does not mean that paints or other applied coatings are unaffected by fire.
Moisture and Pest Resistance
Unlike materials that may be more vulnerable to moisture-related deterioration, Hardie fiber cement is designed to resist moisture damage and does not appeal to termites or woodpeckers in the same way as wood products.
Low-Maintenance Exterior Material
Fiber cement siding does not require the same type of frequent maintenance associated with some other exterior materials. However, like any exterior product, it should still be inspected and maintained according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Manufacturer Warranty Coverage
James Hardie offers a 30-year, non-prorated limited substrate warranty on its fiber cement siding products. ColorPlus® Technology finishes come with a 15-year limited warranty. Warranty terms and eligibility should always be reviewed before installation.
Choose a Look That Fits Your Home
One of the advantages of James Hardie siding is the ability to create different exterior designs using a combination of products. Rather than treating siding as a single product choice, homeowners can create an exterior design using different profiles, textures, and colors.
For example, a home may use:
Horizontal lap siding across the main exterior
Vertical panel siding in gables
Board and batten on selected sections
Shingle siding as an architectural accent
Coordinating trim around windows and doors
Matching soffit and fascia around the roofline
James Hardie Color Options
Color can significantly change the appearance of a home. James Hardie offers factory-applied ColorPlus® Technology finishes, along with primed products that can be painted.
The current ColorPlus® options include the Statement Collection®, while the Dream Collection® offers a larger range of color choices. Product and color availability can vary by region and product type.
Popular Design Approaches
Classic Light Exterior
Light siding paired with darker roofing and contrasting trim can create a clean, traditional appearance.
Modern Dark Exterior
Deep gray, blue, or darker neutral tones can give a home a more contemporary appearance.
Mixed-Siding Design
Combining lap siding with board and batten or shingle accents can add texture and visual interest.
Natural-Inspired Colors
Neutral beige, taupe, gray, and earthy shades can complement the home's architecture and surrounding landscape.
Note: Color appearance can vary between screens, samples, lighting conditions, and product availability.
Why Proper Siding Installation Matters
The performance of siding depends not only on the product but also on how it is installed. Proper installation includes attention to details such as:
Wall and surface preparation
Flashing and water management
Required clearances
Proper fastening
Product spacing
Trim details
Transitions around windows and doors

James Hardie provides specific installation instructions and technical documentation for its products. Following applicable manufacturer requirements is an important part of a successful siding project.
