Hardie® Trim boards

James Hardie logo

Fiber cement siding trim for windows, doors and corners.

Hardie® Trim boards finish the edges around your siding. They frame windows and doors, cover corners and finish the wall below the roof. Narrow strips called battens cover panel seams in (vertical panel) siding. Trim is part of our siding work.
