HardieShingle® Siding

HardieShingle^® Siding

While shake siding is most often associated with classic Cape Cod-style homes, shingle siding (also referred to as shake siding) adds instant character to any home, anywhere, including our very own Westchester County.

Recently we’ve mixed-in shake-style shingles on homes that would have otherwise gone with long plank siding. They look great; the shakes provide fantastic depth and curb appeal for owners that may otherwise look a bit flat. HardieShingle® Siding is excellent; it gives the look and feel of real cedar shake siding with less maintenance at a much more affordable price point.

With James Hardie Shake Shingles, homeowners get the authentic look of cedar shingles with James Hardie cedar cement’s strength.

Knowing what we do about real cedar siding as a siding company, I believe that the James Hardie Shake Shingles are a better bet for most homeowners and, in many ways, best the real thing. James Hardie Shakes are resistant to rotting, curling, warping, and splitting.

James Hardie Shake Shingles look great on Cape Cods and cottage-style homes. If you like the look, don’t limit yourself. Use HardieShingle® siding to highlight a gable or accent the top half of your house.
