Homeowners looking to replace or upgrade the siding on their homes typically narrow down their choice to two different siding materials – fiber cement and vinyl. While both materials offer many of the same benefits, they also have several key differences. Siding investments are important, so homeowners should be fully aware of these differences before making a decision between vinyl siding and fiber cement siding from JamesHardie®. Generally speaking, vinyl siding is more cost-effective, but fiber cement siding offers superior lasting performance.
What are the Main Differences Between JamesHardie® and Vinyl?
JamesHardie® Siding is far thicker than its vinyl counterpart. This added thickness helps to make fiber cement siding the better choice when it comes to durability and performance against harsh elements such as driving rain and high winds. Fiber cement siding is also resistant to mold growth, moisture buildup and rot. While vinyl siding offers some of these same benefits, the thickness of fiber cement siding allows it to perform better than vinyl siding and avoid warping or fading over time. The thickness also allows fiber cement siding to have a deeper texture that more closely resembles real wood than does vinyl siding.
In addition to thickness, JamesHardie® Siding also boasts impressive ColorPlus™ Technology. This state-of-the-art feature means that homeowners can select from a number of different vibrant colors to perfectly integrate with the design and aesthetic of their home. The baked-on colors and finish ensure that fiber HardiePlank® siding is resistant to UV rays and subsequent fading, which means that homeowners can enjoy a brighter, more impressive siding color for many years.
