Fiber Cement (Hardie Board)

Engineered Strength Meets Classic Style

When it comes to siding that balances durability with timeless appeal, Hardie board siding—also known as fiber cement siding—is one of the most trusted choices for New Orleans homeowners. At New Orleans Siding, we specialize in Hardie board installation designed to stand up to our region’s hot, humid climate while delivering the sophisticated look of wood or stucco without the ongoing maintenance.

Manufactured from a blend of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, Hardie board is known for its strength, fire resistance, and longevity. It’s specifically built to handle the demands of Gulf Coast living, making it a reliable exterior solution for homes across the greater New Orleans area.

Why Hardie Board Is Ideal for New Orleans Homes

From summer heatwaves to hurricane season, siding in New Orleans must do more than look good—it has to perform. Hardie board siding is engineered for extreme durability. It resists moisture absorption, doesn’t rot or swell, and won’t be affected by termites or other pests common in southern Louisiana.

Hardie board siding is also non-combustible and holds up well in high winds, offering additional peace of mind during storm season. Its ability to mimic the texture of wood planks or even smooth stucco makes it versatile for a range of architectural styles, from classic to contemporary.

Another major advantage is its long-lasting finish. Hardie board is often pre-coated with baked-on color through ColorPlus® Technology, which resists fading, chipping, and cracking. That means less repainting, fewer touch-ups, and better curb appeal over time. It’s the ideal choice for homeowners who want lasting protection and visual impact.
