December is the height of the holiday season, and with it comes a massive increase in outdoor decorations, electrical cords, and potential fire hazards. While a fire starting on the exterior is rare, choosing the right siding material can be a lifesaver.

James Hardie fiber cement siding offers an unmatched safety benefit: it is non-combustible.

Unlike wood or vinyl, which can fuel a fire or melt quickly, James Hardie siding will not ignite when exposed to a direct flame. This feature provides an invaluable layer of protection for your family and home and may even help reduce insurance premiums.

Furthermore, the material’s extreme durability means that even the constant installation and removal of lights and hardware will not chip or crack your siding. When you combine this fire resistance with its superior moisture and pest defense, it's clear why James Hardie is the industry standard for homeowners prioritizing safety and longevity.

If you are considering an exterior remodel, Northwind Exteriors ensures a precise installation of James Hardie products, maximizing your home’s security and curb appeal well beyond the holidays.
