Over the past 60 years, the home remodeling industry has seen many changes when it comes to the standard in the variations of siding and replacement siding. In the 1950’s wood siding was the preferred choice, followed by Aluminum siding in the 1960’s which was then replaced by Vinyl Siding starting in the 1980’s. Most recently, fiber cement siding has started to take the place of vinyl, not because it is cheaper but because of its superior durability and authentic wood look.

Currently, James Hardie Siding is the world’s largest siding manufacturer and as traditional Hardie Plank siding becomes mainstream discerning homeowners are starting to look for an even better, more luxurious siding option. That is why James Hardie created its premium line of siding: ARTISAN COLLECTION BY JAMES HARDIE.
