Product: Hardie with ColorPlus

During a recent addition, we had the opportunity to work with James Hardie siding with ColorPlus Technology.  This is a fantastic product!  It is essentially pre-painted Hardie cement fiber boards.  Once installed, the nail holes and joints are caulked with a color-matched caulking and that's it.  Done!  The house has new siding and paint all in one day!






The cost of this product is about 25% more than using the conventional system of installing standard primed Hardie and painting it in the field.  However, there are some distinct advantages of using ColorPlus:

 - zero maintenance
 - color is guaranteed to not chip, peel, or warp for 15 years
 - 400% better paint adherence
 - 30% better fade resistance
 - installation labor also guaranteed for 15 years
