Why Fiber Cement Siding Beats Vinyl in Winter 

You’ve probably heard a lot about different types of siding and you may be wondering which one is right for you. Vinyl is a popular option, but you may not know that it has difficulties in cold weather compared to fiber cement siding like James Hardie. According to the website Modernize, cold weather can cause vinyl siding to become brittle, while heavy winter winds can blow off pieces of your siding. Wood products expand in the cold. Fiber cement siding mixes wood fiber with cement and can be much more durable.

James Hardie Durability Stands Up to Winter

There are many things that James Hardie brings to the fight against winter weather including moisture and rot resistance. You won’t have to worry about winter snow leading to moisture buildup, mold, or mildew.

One of the biggest challenges for siding is standing up to the extremes of Long Island weather. But James Hardie Siding is engineered to reflect the climate where it’s installed. Hardie has studied the long term affects of climate on siding and has created the HardieZone® system. Some of their products are engineered for cooler climates. On Long Island, homes are zoned in HZ5 which means that your siding will be engineered to fight cold and ice. It will have superior paint adhesion and moisture resistance and, when spring and summer come around, it will be able to handle the temperature swings too.
