4 Ways James Hardie Artisan Siding Can Benefit Your Home

April 25, 2018    JD Hostetter

James-Hardie-Artisan-Siding-Can-Benefit-Your-Home
Your Indianapolis home deserves the best in every way. And so do you. You should be able to come home to a house you love—one that looks beautiful from the curb and can withstand the elements for years to come. And a great way to ensure that your home’s exterior is elegant, attractive, and long-lasting is to install a premier siding such as James Hardie Artisan® Siding.

But what is James Hardie Artisan Siding? And how can you know if it’s the right selection for you? Read on to learn more about this stellar siding choice that is a favorite among homeowners across the country.

What Is James Hardie Artisan® Siding?

James Hardie is one of the most respected manufacturers of siding on the market today. Attractive, customizable, durable—this brand of siding has won awards for its quality and is covered by one of the best warranties in the industry.

Made to resemble cedar planks, James Hardie Artisan siding is a great choice for homeowners who want the look of cedar without the high maintenance that comes with it. Homeowners and contractors alike enjoy James Hardie Artisan siding for several reasons:

1. Stunning Appearance

Artisan Siding marries the gorgeous appearance of natural wood with the benefits of fiber cement siding to give homeowners the best of both worlds. Artisan planks are designed with grooves and grains, mimicking the appearance of authentic cedar.

The siding is available in a wide variety of colors, textures, and finishes to give your home the precise look and feel you desire. Designed to be layered on top of each other, Artisan siding planks have nuances that create the appearance of natural wood. It’s a great option for homeowners who want a traditional architectural look. And it can be customized with Artisan Accent Trim to round out its style.

2. Extremely Durable

Like any James Hardie siding, Artisan siding is made with fiber cement—a mixture of sand, cement and wood pulp that resists damage from weather extremes, moisture, humidity, and mold. It doesn’t rot, blister, or shrink like wood does. Through ice and snow, spring thunderstorms, and summer’s heat waves, James Hardie siding retains its attractive appearance.

Because fiber cement is unappealing to pests, Artisan siding won’t be eaten by termites, rodents, woodpeckers, or other creatures. And unlike natural wood, fiber cement is rated as non-flammable, which means it will not be consumed if a fire breaks out.

3. Low-Maintenance

One of the chief advantages of using James Hardie siding, including the Artisan line of products, is that it is a breeze to care for. Its color is designed to last for a long time, eliminating the frequent paint jobs that must be performed to keep up the neat appearance of wood and vinyl siding. It won’t easily fade through exposure to the sun’s rays.

As an added bonus, Artisan siding is designed with a tongue and groove system that not only helps with installation, but also keeps the siding stable over time. It is much less likely to come loose or sag like other materials. And because it resists the damaging effects of the elements and pests, you won’t find yourself repeatedly replacing planks like you might with wood, brick, or vinyl exteriors.

All you need to do as a homeowner is rinse your James Hardie Artisan siding once or twice a year with a hose. Nothing could be simpler!

4. Eco-Friendly

Artisan siding is considered a green product. Rather than using wood or other endangered materials, it is made with safe, low-toxicity ingredients that don’t do damage to the environment. Most of the raw materials used to create Artisan® siding are sourced locally.

And remember, Artisan siding lasts for many, many years—making it one of the most sustainable siding solutions on the market. If eco-friendly options matter, Artisan siding is a great choice.

Come Home to a House You Love

Your home can and should look as beautiful and elegant as you’re dreaming of. And it doesn’t have to be a difficult or frustrating process to get the exterior look and feel your home deserves to have.
