Hardie Board fiber cement siding manufactured by James Hardie Building Products. One of the first successful manufacturers of this material.
The fiber cement siding is made from Portland cement mixed with ground sand, cellulose fiber, and other additives. The product is also known as cement fiber siding, concrete siding, and fiber cement cladding.
Hardi Board Fiber cement siding can resemble stucco, wood clapboards, or cedar shingles.
The product is baked in autoclaves under high-pressure steam, and then the individual boards are jostled apart, tested for strength, and painted. It may look like wood, but the boards are much heavier with properties associated more with cement than wood. The Hardi wood fiber is added to give the board flexibility so it doesn’t crack.
