There Are Many Styles of James Hardie Board Siding To Choose From
But let’s get back to the aesthetics of the Hardie board. As a homeowner thinking about James Hardie siding, you’ll find an array of options made to fit your style and architectural preferences. From classic lap siding to charming shingle panels, James Hardie siding has a style that fits your personality and your home.
HardiePlank Lap Siding
This is their most popular siding option, resembling traditional wood siding but made of fiber cement. The classic, horizontal lines of lap siding are a staple for many homes and will fit in almost any neighborhood, giving your home an immediate upgrade without making it look out of place.
It comes in various widths, allowing you to choose the style that best suits the scale and design of your home. HardiePlank Lap Siding is available in an extensive range of colors, textures, and finishes. Whether seeking a smooth, wood-grain, or textured appearance, the options are abundant.
Customizing the width from 4 inches, up to a 10-inch reveal allows you to add a little personalization to your home while maintaining the durability of fiber cement. This is also the best option if you’re looking to spruce up the home before a sale. It looks great and will appeal to the widest range of potential buyers.
HardiePanel Architectural Vertical Siding
If you want to go in a different direction, literally, HardiePanel vertical siding breaks away from traditional horizontal siding with its sleek, vertical lines. This unique design adds a touch of modernity and sophistication to your home’s exterior, creating clean, crisp lines that catch the eye.
Architectural panels are an excellent choice if you want to go ultramodern. A contemporary siding option, the versatility in design gives you a sophisticated, minimalist look for your home’s exterior. The smooth surface and panelized design create a sleek and uniform appearance, giving your home a clean and crisp aesthetic.
These panels come in various sizes and configurations, and we feel this style gives you plenty of design options. Whether utilized as the primary siding material or as an accent alongside other siding options, the architectural panels introduce a unique dimension to the exterior of the home. Our clients who choose architectural siding really appreciate the one-of-a-kind look it gives their home.
HardieShingle® Siding
Want to bring the feel of a lakeside cottage to your neighborhood? HardieShingle siding offers something unique and charming, giving your home the appearance of traditional cedar shakes while providing the durability and low maintenance of fiber cement–and being much more fire resistant.
HardieShingle mimics the texture and appearance of natural cedar shakes, giving your home a rustic and timeless charm to your home’s exterior. The staggered edges and irregular patterns create a visually appealing surface that adds character and depth. This can be used on various architectural designs, from cottage-style homes to Craftsman or Cape Cod aesthetics.
Either as the primary siding material for the entire home, or as an accent to complement other siding options, HardieShingle adds visual interest and dimension. And because it’s made from durable fiber cement, you can enjoy a timeless aesthetic without worrying about issues like rotting, splitting, or insect damage commonly associated with natural wood.
