Horizontal Lap
Horizontal lap siding with HardiePlank® offers a clean and stratified, timeless yet versatile, style. This style adds depth and symmetry to your home, making it highly suitable for many classic to modern home designs. HardiePlank® comes in both smooth and wood-grain textures so that you can choose the finish that best fits your taste. The horizontal lap is one of Alberta’s favorites because of its resiliency to stand strong in snowstorms, hail, and high winds while keeping its fresh look over the years. This type of siding is all about straightforward elegance combined with long-lasting strength.
Vertical covering
Vertical siding, like HardiePanel® vertical siding, adds a striking and modern edge to your home. By utilizing vertical lines, you can give the impression of height and dimension to make your exterior stand out with clean, architectural appeal. This style works very well in conjunction with other materials, such as horizontal lap for example, to create a look that’s all your own. From smooth to cedar-like finishes, HardiePanel® offers up that natural wood feel without the maintenance. Constructed to withstand Alberta’s unique and diverse climate, vertical siding provides both style and durability for those looking to make a statement with their home.
Hardie Shingle
HardieShingle® siding captures the beauty of traditional cedar shakes but with a fiber cement upgrade for added durability. Rich texture and character are lent by this style, which makes it perfectly suitable for either cozy cottages or serving as an accent on modern homes. HardieShingle® can be presented in Staggered Edge and Straight Edge designs to give a selection that best suits your vision. Unlike wood, it resists rot, warping, and insects-perfectly suitable for Alberta’s inclement weather. HardieShingle® provides that traditional shingle look with far less maintenance concern.
Trim Hardie board siding.
HardieTrim® boards complete the look of your house, framing windows, doors, and corners with clean lines and subtle detail. Besides the traditional smooth surface, HardieTrim® is available in batten and fascia profiles to give you just a little, or a lot, of contrast and texture to complement your siding. And because they’re made from the same durable fibre cement as our siding, HardieTrim® resists Alberta’s climate without cracking or fading. Unifying the exterior of your house in a look that is simple yet strong, the refined and completed look offered by HardieTrim® boards is simply above the rest.

With the strength to resist Alberta’s most extreme weather conditions, James Hardie siding resists splitting, swelling, and rot.
