Apart from your roof, your siding is one of the most important defense systems that your home has. After all, not only does it make your home more energy-efficient and aesthetically pleasing; it also protects it from damage caused by birds and pests. With that in mind, you want the best brand for your home. One of these brands is James Hardie® siding.
Here’s how James Hardie siding protects your home against damage from birds and pests.
Thickness
One of the reasons why homeowners gravitate toward James Hardie siding products is because these products are made of fiber cement, a durable composite material that allows it to last longer than your average siding material. However, this isn’t the only benefit of James Hardie’s fiber cement siding. In fact, it’s also five times thicker than other siding materials, providing more protection for your home as it makes it harder for birds and pests to chew through the material to penetrate it.
Lacks Organic Material
Apart from its thickness, another way James Hardie fiber cement siding protects your home from the damage caused by birds and pests is the lack of organic material in its composition. Due to this, birds and pests are also less likely to damage your home in the first place as they have nothing to ingest for sustenance from the siding.
Other Benefits
Apart from protecting your home from the damage caused by birds and pests, James Hardie fiber cement siding can also protect your home from other kinds of damage. For instance, thanks to the lack of organic material in its composition, it won’t combust in the presence of open flame, making it one of the most fire resistant siding materials on the market.
