The James Hardie siding system

What goes on your walls, layer by layer.

Fiber cement siding is one part of a system. These are the James Hardie parts and accessories Future Remodeling installs.

Weather barrier

HardieWrap goes over the wall sheathing first, before any siding. It keeps water out of the wall while letting moisture from inside the house dry out, and every seam is taped shut.

What we use

  • The housewrap behind every board.

  • Seals the seams of the wrap.

Flashing

Windows, doors and the spots where a roof meets a wall are where water gets in. Flashing tape seals around each opening, and kick-out flashing turns roof water away from the siding.

What we use

  • Flashing tape

    Peel and stick, around windows and doors.

  • Where a roof edge ends against a wall.

  • Flashing laps over it so water runs out, not in.

Siding

The boards you see go up one course at a time. Our crews set each course with a Gecko Gauge, so the reveal stays even from one end of the wall to the other.

What we use

  • Hardie® Plank lap siding
  • Hardie® Shingle siding
  • Hardie® Panel vertical siding
  • Keeps every course straight and evenly spaced.

Trim and batten

Trim and battens finish the corners, frame the windows and doors, and cover panel seams. They are what make the siding look finished.

What we use

  • Hardie® Trim boards

    Corners, windows and doors.

  • Hardie® Trim battens

    Over panel seams for a board and batten look.

  • Factory baked color on siding and trim.

Soffit

Soffit panels close in the underside of the roof overhang. Vented panels let air into the attic.

What we use

  • Hardie® Soffit panels

    Solid or vented.

Fasteners

What holds it all up matters. Siding goes on with corrosion resistant nails placed where James Hardie's installation instructions require, and trim can be fastened from behind so its face stays clean.

What we use

  • Rust resistant siding nails.

  • Stainless steel ring shank nails

    For homes near the water.

  • Concealed fastening for trim.

Caulk, edges and touch-up

Caulk and touch-up are two different jobs. Caulk seals joints and openings against water. Touch-up paint hides small nicks and nail heads on the finished face. Cut edges get their own treatment.

What we use

  • Sealed at joints and openings.

  • On every field-cut edge.

  • For nicks and nail heads, used sparingly.
