Are James Hardie® Trim and Siding Eco-Friendly?
James Hardie® products are well-known for their durability and appeal. They are always a reliable choice for home improvement or new construction projects. Their trim and siding products are eco-friendly as well.
Read on as Timberland Exteriors explains why James Hardie trim and siding are an excellent choice for eco-conscious homeowners.
Sustainable
James Hardie trim and siding are made of fiber cement – a construction material composed of renewable materials like cellulose fibers, Portland cement, sand and water. Unlike other trim and siding materials that are made with synthetic materials like vinyl or PVC, fiber cement can be easily produced. This means fewer resources are utilized during its manufacture, resulting in less impact on the environment. Synthetic materials also contain additives and adhesives that harm the environment once they’re removed and placed in landfills. Fiber cement, on the other hand, can be recycled up to four times before being safely disposed of.
Cost-Effective
Fiber cement products are proven to last longer than most other types of siding materials. James Hardie trim and siding provide better protection and are cost-effective as they give you more value through greater overall performance. Durable, long-lasting and easy to maintain, fiber cement proves itself by providing good protection that will last an average of 30 years — which means your siding won’t just end up in a landfill every few years.
Eco-Friendly
There are many types of siding and trim materials on the market, but fiber cement is definitely one of the most eco-friendly choices out there. Since synthetic materials degrade more slowly, they can stay in landfills for a very long time, while fiber cement degrades more quickly, posing less risk to the environment.
