James Hardie Building Products

A traditional look without traditional maintenance and durability problems: That’s the thinking behind the board-and-batten siding used here. The fiber-cement siding for the tower and part of the garage wing is made of Hardipanel, with Harditrim, which are noncombustible and won’t rot, split, warp, or buckle. Inside, Hardibacker ceramic tile underlayment protects against moisture. (888) 542-7343 or www.jameshardie.com.
