Don't Let Fall Rain Rot Your Home: Hardie Siding's Superior Protection and Low Maintenance

Prepping Your Exterior Walls: Why James Hardie Siding is Built for Autumn Moisture

September 15, 20251 min read

October rain and fluctuating temperatures are tough on traditional wood siding, leading to moisture absorption, rot, and swelling. For homeowners looking ahead, our focus is on installing James Hardie fiber cement siding, a material specifically engineered for Climate® to handle regional moisture changes.

Composed of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, James Hardie siding is non-combustible and impervious to termites and other pests that seek winter shelter in wood. A core benefit for maintaining curb appeal through the wet months is ColorPlus® Technology. This finish is factory-applied and baked-on, offering a fade resistance that is up to 30% better than traditional paint.

This means your exterior color stays vibrant and rich, requiring nothing more than a simple rinse, even as the season changes. James Hardie's superior durability protects your largest investment and provides refreshingly low-maintenance living, unlike materials that require sealing and repainting every few years.

Investing in Hardie siding with Northwind Exteriors now ensures your home is protected from the coming weather extremes and maintains its value for decades, backed by a strong 30-year non-prorated limited warranty.
