Remodeling Magazine’s 2017 Cost vs Value Report shows that you can recoup as much as 68.9% of the installation cost of a siding replacement project, which makes it a worthwhile investment. It’s not just about improving your home’s insulation and resistance to the cold Northern weather, but it’s also about making your home look beautiful, and keeping it looking that way longer.
This is why you shouldn’t settle for anything less than James Hardie fiber cement siding; their ColorPlus™ technology offers several advantages over regular siding:
The Benefits of ColorPlus Technology
-
Durable siding finish – James Hardie siding is manufactured with the colors applied at the factory, with up to 50% more coats of paint than what average house painters would apply. The thicker finish results in a durable, long-lasting, and consistent colors that don’t require repainting.
-
Baked-on bond – All paint layers are factory-cured by baking to ensure resistance against peeling, chipping, and cracking—problems typical of ordinary painted siding. The same process also renders James Hardie siding resilient against the cold Minnesota climate.
-
Resistance against UV rays – Constant exposure to ultraviolet rays result in faded paint, fabrics, and printed matter. James Hardie’s ColorPlus technology includes treatment that protects the siding against UV rays, resulting in fade-resistant and vibrant siding finish.
Color Palettes
In addition to individual color selections, James Hardie has curated a selection of colors that look beautiful together, as chosen by in-house experts. Here are some of their color palettes:
-
Warm colors – This autumnal color palette includes reds, oranges, and yellows. While it is typically associated with Spanish-style villas, it also works with Craftsman-style homes or other styles that evoke natural colors.
-
Cool colors – When you want a calm and serene feel, choose shades of blue, which work best with a dark-colored roof.
-
Fresh colors – Homeowners who prefer a vibrant, summery look should try the fresh colors palette, which includes yellows and greens. This is perfect if your home is surrounded by trees or lush landscaping. The colors contrast with fall colors, making your home stand out as the leaves start to fall.
-
Light colors – Whites and soft pastels create a crisp and clean look without looking like the insides of a hospital. The light-colored siding has the added benefit of reflecting the sun’s rays during summer, helping you save on your air conditioning bills.
-
Dark colors – For a mysterious and modern look, choose dark colors, an ideal fit for homes in urban environments.
-
Neutral colors – Go for a sophisticated look with James Hardie’s neutral colors palette, a staple of contemporary architecture.
