Home remodeling, renovation, and repair tips with Tom Tynan
With vinyl siding, a lot of times you have issues with siding blowing off houses due to high winds or hurricanes. And you get warping with the heat. And you get all these waves down the side of your house because it's plastic siding. And also, it will fade a lot of over time due to the intense UV and salt air that we deal with down here.
James Hardie siding is made of fiber cement. So that's 90% cement, 10% cellulose fiber. What that does for you is it offers a material that's highly durable. It's very impact resistant. It's fireproof. Bugs won't eat it. It actually does very well in high heat and high humidity climates.
ColorPlus Technology is our prefinished product. It's a multi-coat system. And then, it's actually baked on. So it's a very strong paint finish that's guaranteed to last 15 years. In southern Texas, we also offer a 20 different color palate that you can create a great color scheme for the exterior of your home.
