When it comes to siding, most homeowners select either vinyl or wood. There are, however, a multitude of other options available. One of these is Hardie Board siding. Following is an overview of what it is, and why it should definitely be on your list of options if you’re having a home built or having your siding replaced.
What is Hardie Board Siding?
Concrete is the foundation of Hardie Board. Although it has the look of wood, it is literally a durable, fibrous “concrete board.”
Advantages of Choosing Hardie Board Siding
- Termite Resistant: Unlike wood, because Hardie Board is made from concrete, termites and other insects don’t eat it. This is extremely important if you live in a warmer climate where termites are almost always active.
