Enter HardiePanel vertical siding. It includes all the attractive features you love about your wood or stucco siding, but with the long-lasting durability of James Hardie siding products.
Don’t just take our word for it—here’s everything you need to know about this attractive, versatile siding option for your Michigan home!
What Is HardiePanel Vertical Siding?
HardiePanel is one of the many siding selections offered by James Hardie—America’s #1 brand of siding. Both siding contractors and homeowners love the strength and long-lasting nature of James Hardie siding products.
All HardieBoard products are made from fiber cement—a combination of water, sand, and cellulose fibers. However, they are offered in multiple textures and styles to mimic other types of siding, like stucco and wood, for the same aesthetic appeal without sacrificing any durability.
HardiePanel vertical siding is offered in four attractive styles to create the perfect look for your home. Here’s what you should know about each type:
HardiePanel Vertical Siding Textures
Select Cedarmill
Select Cedarmill vertical siding has a soft texture that mimics real, natural cedar wood. It’s an excellent option for homeowners who love the look of wood siding but don’t want to worry about pests, water damage, or flammability. Select Cedarmill siding is popular on Ranch homes, and it also looks great paired with stone or brick for Craftsman houses.
Select Cedarmill siding is offered in fifteen classic shades in The Statement Collection for timeless beauty, or you can choose to install high-performance boards that are primed for paint to add whatever color you’d like for your home.
Smooth
Smooth siding has a clean, level appearance that adds a sleek, modern look to your home. It’s basic, simple, and offers a blank slate that brings attention to other creative architectural features of your home. It’s popular for any home type, but it’s commonly used on Ranch or Coastal homes.
Like Select Cedarmill siding, Smooth siding is offered in the same colors from the Statement Collection but can also be primed for paint, so you can choose from hundreds of shades to customize your home’s appearance.
Stucco
Do you desire the warm, inviting look of stucco siding without worrying about stains, cracks, and water damage? Well, James Hardie has made it possible! When you install HardiePanel Stucco siding, you can enjoy the beautiful appearance of stucco with all the excellent benefits of fiber cement siding.
Stucco vertical siding is available in beautiful shades from both the Statement Collection and Dream Collection, or you can get your durable, high-performance boards primed for paint.
Sierra 8
Are you searching for the classic look of wood siding with sophisticated yet straightforward detailing? Sierra 8 siding is an excellent choice—the combination of natural wood texture and vertical grooves create a striking look for your home.
Sierra 8 siding is available in the exclusive Dream Collection and primed for paint for ultimate customizability.
Benefits of HardiePanel Vertical Siding
No matter which gorgeous vertical siding style you choose for your Michigan home, you’ll experience the same unbeatable benefits of Hardie siding:
Extreme Durability
James Hardie is a reliable, high-performing brand that homeowners from around the country trust to protect their homes. Your exterior will withstand harsh weather conditions, like wind, hail, rain, and snowstorms, so you’ll never have to worry about unpleasant mold, mildew, rot, or water damage again.
Lasting Color
When you invest in ColorPlus Technology, your siding boards come with vibrant, baked-on colors that resist chipping, peeling, cracking, or fading in the sun.
Low Maintenance
Fiber cement siding is long-lasting, so you can enjoy the beautiful appearance of wood or stucco siding without the frustrating, costly upkeep that comes with it.
Fire and Pest-Resistant
Even though your fiber cement siding looks like wood, it’s non-combustible—meaning it will not ignite when exposed to a flame, and it will not fuel a fire. It also won’t attract annoying pests, like woodpeckers, insects, and other critters. Even if they try to, they won’t make a dent in your fiber cement siding.
Lasting Warranty
Hardie siding products come with a 30-year, non-prorated warranty, so you can rest assured your home is well cared for, no matter what happens.
