James Hardie Cement Siding

James Hardie is one of the top fiber cement siding brands on the market and is recognized as one of the best siding options in the country. Part of what sets it apart from other materials is its unique composition. James Hardie fiber cement siding is made from the following:

Portland cement, which includes limestone, iron, and clay and acts as a binder for all the other materials

Silica sand, which acts as a filler

Wood pulp, which makes the siding flexible and resilient

Water, which helps to activate and harden the Portland cement

The result is a durable material that looks great.
