Climate Change And 3 Reasons Why You Should Install James Hardie in 2022

Climate Change

Climate change is a topic we all need to pay attention to. The climate and thus the weather are changing, which has many consequences. Colorado has been seeing more heat, fires, and less precipitation. This impacts the everyday life of many people in this beautiful state.

The changing climate might also make you think about your siding. Is your siding right for our climate? Do you have siding that can stand up to the increasingly more severe weather events? There is definitely siding that is more suited for the Colorado weather and can stand up to it better than other siding.

James Hardie fiber cement siding is perfect for the Colorado climate. It can handle the weather changes and still perform well while being durable. Here are three reasons why you should consider installing James Hardie fiber cement siding as soon as possible, even this year:

1. Stands up to severe weather

James Hardie has conducted extensive research to offer you superior siding. That is why they manufacture different products for different regions. That way you can be sure you get the right siding for the local climate. This will protect your home best from the elements.

Fiber cement siding stands up against severe weather when other siding does not. It can withstand the hails storms that are frequent in Colorado during the spring. It does not get damaged and end up with dents and even holes like vinyl siding does.

Even though Colorado does not have a wet climate, we do get quite a bit of snow during the winter. James Hardie’s fiber cement siding can withstand that without being damaged. It can even withstand rapid temperature changes, which we do experience frequently.

This siding is resistant to UV-rays, water damage, swelling, shrinking, and cracking. That means it can withstand the heat in the summer just as well as the freezing temperatures in the winter. 

Be sure you have professionals installing your siding. Only if the siding is installed correctly will it perform its best. Siding that is installed incorrectly is vulnerable and does not protect your home as it should and could.

2. Durability of the siding

Even with the stress changing weather can put on siding, James Hardie fiber cement siding lasts long. The durability is a huge advantage of this siding. Furthermore, it requires minimal maintenance. This makes quite a bit of difference when you compare it to wood siding.

This siding lasts for several decades. Furthermore, it comes with great resistances. In addition to the above-mentioned resistances, it is also resistant to rot, mold, mildew, and insect damage. In case of a fire, it will not add fuel to the fire and will not burn.

James Hardie stands behind their products. That is why they cover their siding products with industry leading warranties. They offer a 15-finish and 30-year product warranty. This will give you peace of mind for many years to come.

3. Sustainability and eco-friendliness

Thinking about climate change also means thinking about sustainability. James Hardie fiber cement is manufactured with paying special attention to sustainability. They use high quality standards for the raw materials they use.

The company sources an impressive 75% of raw materials locally. This reduces the need for long-distance transportation and shipping. Furthermore, the materials used by James Hardie are natural and sustainable. The raw materials include sand, cellulose, wood fiber, and water. These materials are very eco-friendly and have a low toxicity.

James Hardie is even more eco-friendly since they manufacture long lasting siding. Because it needs fewer repairs and replacements, it creates less waste. That makes a huge difference environmentally speaking and furthers the sustainability.

Additionally, fiber cement siding needs little maintenance. That will not only save you money but it will also save on toxic chemicals. James Hardie’s goal is to minimize the impact their processes have on the environment by implementing green practices.
