Thinking about building or remodeling with HardiePlank®? Much of what you hear, especially if it comes from the makers of HardiePlank®, is misleading or simply not true.

Residing your home with vinyl siding is a smart investment. Compared to all other siding or cladding, it has the lowest installed cost (both materials and labor) and unlike other cladding, vinyl siding does not need additional investment over the life of the product. There’s no cost to paint, caulk, or refinish every few years like you have to do with wood, fiber cement, or other prefabricated products.

In addition to making your house look great, siding has a vital job to perform — protecting your home from the elements. When properly installed, certified vinyl siding can withstand winds of 110 miles per hour. Plus, certified vinyl and other polymeric siding, will never crack, chip, flake, pit peel or fade.
