All fiber cement color choices from James Hardie are equipped with ColorPlus Technology, which is a finish that was specifically developed for James Hardie’s extensive line of sophisticated exterior design products. This finish is applied with multiple coats in a closely monitored factory environment, with each layer carefully baked into the fiber cement.
Four Advantages of ColorPlus Technology
There are four benefits of ColorPlus Technology:
- Durability: Because each layer of the finish is cured, it creates a strong bond that resists chipping, peeling and cracking.
- Consistency: All surfaces and edges of Hardie products are covered multiple times for consistent color throughout the product. How many times is that? About 50 percent more than the number of coats of paint an average house painter is able to apply.
- UV Ray-Resistance: The baked-in finish further guards against the damaging effects of the sun’s UV rays, thereby making it less susceptible to fading, unlike other forms of siding, such as vinyl.
- Warranty: The ColorPlus Technology finish comes with a 15-year limited warranty.
