Fire

Hardie® fiber cement siding will not
 ignite when exposed to a direct flame
 —nor contribute fuel to a fire.* In
 contrast, fire feasts on wood and melts
vinyl almost instantly.

Moisture

Hardie® products are engineered to resist water and humidity—and will stand up to rain, sleet, and snow.

Weather

Hardie® products are made to withstand severe weather: hurricanes, rainstorms, strong winds, extreme heat, UV rays, humidity, snow, hail, freezing temperatures, and more.

Pest defense

Hardie® siding holds little appeal for woodpeckers, termites and other wood-boring insects and pests.

**Hardie® fiber cement products are noncombustible and/or have a Class A fire rating when tested in accordance with ASTM E84. Fiber cement fire resistance does not extend to applied paints or coatings, which may be damaged or char when exposed to flames. The use of noncombustible siding, combined with other fire mitigation measures, may help harden a home against external fire.
