Other Fiber Cement Sidings - Comparison to James Hardie Siding

Fiber cement products are now being manufactured by other corporations. Fiber cement siding, however, is not their primary focus. Indeed, it is well down the list as far as these other manufacturers are concerned. Fiber cement competitors use commodity formulations, cheap fillers, and inexpensive manufacturing processes that result in overly dense and brittle formulations. Fiber cement siding installed by James Hardie, or Hardiplank, is the dedicated focus of James Hardie. In fact, James Hardie has been manufacturing fiber cement products exclusively since 1888. James Hardie has more manufacturing plants than all their competitors combined. Therefore, the carbon footprint due to transportation costs is much smaller when you have Hardiplank installed on your home. Fiber cement competitors do not have the experience, the manufacturing processes, or the commitment in research and development to be the right choice for your home.
