Why Clarendon Hills Homeowners Choose Fiber Cement Over Vinyl
Chicago-area homes face one of the most demanding climates for exterior siding in the country — freeze-thaw cycles, high humidity, summer heat, and significant hail and wind exposure. James Hardie fiber cement is engineered specifically for this climate (HZ5 zone). It does not expand and contract with temperature swings the way vinyl does, which means caulk joints and paint adhesion remain intact over time.
It is non-combustible, termite-resistant, and impervious to moisture damage. Vinyl siding melts, warps, and cracks under these conditions. Fiber cement does not. For Clarendon Hills homeowners who want siding that performs and holds its value, James Hardie is the clear choice.
