Choose Siding Engineered for the Minneapolis Area Climate

When choosing siding for your home, it’s best to keep in mind that one type does not work best for all climates.  That’s why at Window Outfitters, a Minneapolis area siding contractor, we recommend and install James Hardie fiber cement siding from the James Hardie Company.  With Hardie siding you can have the look of natural wood without the maintenance.  And Hardie siding products carry the strongest warranty in the industry. 

Unlike other types of siding, where the one-size-fits-all concept seems to predominate in the industry, James Hardie has introduced a HardieZone System^TM, a unique home exterior product based on siding which is appropriate to the climate where it will be installed.   Hardie understands that siding suffers different weather assaults from the wide range of temperature and preciptation in the Midwest than it does in the hot and dry southwest. 

Hardie’s extensive research indicates that there are several factors which can affect the durability and wear life of siding.  These include:  temperature range (and you know how that varies here in Minnesota), ultraviolet light, humidity, rainfall, snow, and hail.   Understanding these factors has enabled James Hardie to engineer siding to meet the needs of different climates.   For example, in Minnesota siding needs to stand up to heavy rains, ice, and snow as well as humid summers and a wide range of temperatures.   Hardie siding for this area is designed to reduce moisture absorbance and the surface is fortified and strengthened. 

Among the benefits of siding your home with HardieZone System^TM siding are:

• Fire Protection– superior resistance to combustion when comparedwith vinyl or wood siding
• Durability – designed to last up to 50 years
• Green– Hardie products are manufactured from low toxicity natural materials
