Siding Style Options
When it comes to siding, there are actually many different options, not just the traditional horizontal lap siding. Speaking of lap siding, however, it is one of the options for James Hardie products. These horizontal panels are the most well-known look for siding, common in aluminum and vinyl siding as well. For more traditionally styled homes, this is a great choice, or you can use it in some areas of your home, in combination with one of the other beautiful looks as well. Since lap siding is the most common style, many of our clients use it to actually keep the current exterior look of their home, while adding the great protection of James Hardie.
Another popular choice for many Colorado homes is shingle siding. James Hardie offers shingle siding that replicates the look and feel of wood, without the possibilities of rotting or chipping paint. This style is particularly lovely on bungalow homes and cottages, or as an accent area to many other styles of homes.
James Hardie vertical siding is a great option to achieve that classic “Board and Batton” look for your home. This type of siding looks great, and it stands out from the traditional lap siding that many homes have. Consider using vertical siding in combination with shingles to create a charming exterior look for your unique home.
James Hardie also offers trim and fascia boards, as well as soffit panels to complete the look of your home no matter what you need. Choose a lighter color of trim to make the colors really pop on your home, or choose something softer for a more traditional look. No matter what styles you choose, these pieces will help bring the entire look together when you purchase new siding for your home.
