James Hardie Siding vs. Vinyl

James Hardie Fiber Cement siding is looked at across the siding industry as a considerable upgrade from vinyl siding. James Hardie Siding compared to vinyl is more durable, lasts longer and provides a better return on investment. One video that our team wanted to show potential customers is the problem that many vinyl siding materials have when faced with melting.

Not made with the high-quality materials that fiber cement siding is made out of, vinyl siding can melt from sun reflecting off windows. Watch the video below to learn more!

James Hardie & Fire Protection

Hardie® fiber cement siding will not ignite when exposed to a direct flame—nor contribute fuel to a fire.* In contrast, fire feasts on wood and melts vinyl almost instantly. In addition Hardie® siding is noncombustible*, will not ignite when exposed to a direct flame, will not contribute fuel to a fire and has a Class A fire rating.

 

James hardie fire resistant

* Hardie® fiber cement products are noncombustible and/or have a Class A fire rating when tested in accordance with ASTM E84. Fiber cement fire resistance does not extend to applied paints or coatings, which may be damaged or char when exposed to flames. The use of noncombustible siding, combined with other fire mitigation measures, may help harden a home against external fire.
