Hardie Board Siding
Hardie board siding is an ideal long lasting siding for any home. Hardie board comes in many sizes including 4×8 sheets, 3×5 sheets, 4×4 sheets, and also in planks. Hardie board siding also comes with designs to give the appearance of brick, wood, and vinyl siding. It has been proven to last 30 plus years in harsh weather of all kinds. Cold, heat, snow, rain…etc. It has the awesome ability to stay submerged in water yet keep its shape and strength, without molding or falling apart.
Hardie Board siding takes paint and caulk very well. It is priced comparable to wood siding, but will long outlast it. If you are going for ease of installation by all means choose the hardie board siding over the planks, but for that unique look of planks, you dont have much choice but to use the planks. Planks take more time to install and are long and bulky, making them hard to handle by yourself. Special hardie screws have been made to make sure your hardie does not out last your screws.
Hardie can be hung with nails, or screws, but if using nails make sure to use a ring shank nail that will not easily be pulled from the surface it is nailed to. I prefer using a senco screw gun when installing hardie board siding, it has almost the speed of a nail gun, with the strength of a screw.
