There are many benefits of having hardie plank siding on your home, many of which are much better than other siding options. When choosing to pick the type of siding for your home, many choose to go with the cheaper option, Vinyl Siding. Although Vinyl siding is relatively easy to install and is cheap to buy, it is not a very good option if you want your home to look good for a long time.

Hardie Plank Siding is a very good siding product for your home that has many benefits such as:

1) Hardie Plank Siding has Very High Fire Resistance

If you watch the video above, vinyl siding, wood, and Hardie Plank Siding are placed next to each other and are all put on fire. After just 1 minute of sitting in the fire, the vinyl siding is already devoured in flames while the Hardie Siding was barely getting burnt.

After about 4 minutes, the vinyl siding was completely gone, the wood siding was in flames and smoking, while the Hardie Plank Siding just looked halfway black from the fire.

2) Resists Water and Does Not Rot

This is not the case with wood siding at all. After a few years and some rainstorms, wood siding can start to rot. In many cases, about every 10 to 15 years, homeowners have to replace the wood siding of their home because of rot and mold.

With Hardie Plank Siding, all those headaches and troubles are gone. Since Hardie Plank siding is a form of fiber cement siding, it will not rot because it is very water resistant, plus when you caulk and paint over it, it’s basically almost waterproof.

3) Won’t be Eaten by Insects

The thing about Hardie plank siding is that insects hate it and especially termites. 

Insects thrive in very moist conditions and when there is very little water for them to get, they generally will find a different area to live that has more water and because hardie plank siding is very water resistant, animals and insects won’t tend to go near Hardie plank siding as much as wood.

4) Durable

Hardie Siding products are not only built to last, but they don’t have to be painted every 3 to 5 years like any other wood siding such as Cedar which can save you a lot of money, time, and headaches in the long run.

The benefits listed above are the main benefits of having Hardie Plank Siding on your home. 

Hardie Plank Siding may tend to be more expensive than vinyl siding or a little less than Cedar, but in the long run, it can save you a lot more money, plus when Hardie Siding is installed with a professional siding company like Mr. Happy House, it will make your home stand out more and would increase the value in case you wanted to sell it.

"Mike was great to work with. He explained all that needed to be done to install a quality roof that would last. Had other quotes but other contractors were not as informative and did not include everything that was needed. Mike’s crew was courteous, did an excellent job and completed the work in a timely fashion. If you are not familiar with working with insurance adjusters be sure Mike meets with them when you set up a meeting. This was helpful in my case and made the claims process run smoothly. I am very pleased 😀 with his service and recommend him to my neighbors of which two have used him across from my home."
