Money Magazine Singles Out HardiePlank® Siding As A Great Value
The Money magazine article was written by Kira Obolensky, author of the new book Good House Cheap House: Adventures in Creating an Extraordinary Home at an Everyday Price. Kira is also the co-author of Sarah Susanka's phenomenal bestseller The Not So Big House.

Here's what she says about HardiePlank®:


THE VINYL ANALYSIS

Instead of costly wood clapboard or cheesy vinyl siding, the house is clad in a durable, fire-resistant cement fiberboard called HardiePlank® that, when painted, is the spitting image of wood. The versatile material costs about the same as vinyl siding but about 25% less than wood. A nice paint job should last you 20 years. It's cheap, yes, but it's the good cheap.
