When you’re choosing siding for your home, picking the right product for your local weather is a must. With so many areas across Texas seeing intense heat, humidity, and storms, it helps to go with something you know will hold up. That’s where James Hardie® siding type comes in. These products are made to stand strong against just about anything.
At Statewide Energy Solutions, we only install siding we trust to last. That’s why we offer James Hardie siding. This brand has different product lines built for different climates, including right here in Dallas and the surrounding cities. It’s not just about looks – it’s about protecting your home.
Why James Hardie® Siding Type Works for Texas Homes
There’s no shortage of siding options out there, but most can’t handle Texas weather. The James Hardie® siding type built for the South, called HZ10, is specially made for hot, humid places. It can even deal with salty coastal air.
Here’s what makes it different:
- Moisture Resistance
Moisture causes big problems like swelling, cracking, and rot. Hardie siding stands up to rain, humidity, and even snow, so your walls stay dry and strong. - Fire Protection
The materials used in James Hardie siding are non-combustible. If there’s a fire nearby, your siding won’t catch or spread flames. That means extra protection for your family and home. - Strong Against Storms
Texas storms bring wind, hail, and flying debris. Hardie boards are tough enough to take the hit. They don’t break down like vinyl or wood. - No Pest Problems
Unlike wood siding, Hardie materials don’t attract termites or birds. That saves you from costly repairs down the line. - Lasting Curb Appeal
With ColorPlus® Technology, colors don’t fade fast. The baked-on finish looks great for years with very little upkeep.
These reasons are why homeowners throughout Dallas and surrounding cities trust Hardie siding for long-term value.
Matching the Right James Hardie® Siding Type to Your Area
Different climates need different materials. James Hardie understands that. That’s why the brand created The HardieZone® System. Each James Hardie® siding type is assigned to a zone, based on your local weather.
HZ10 is what we use in North Texas. It handles:
- Intense sun and heat
- Sudden temperature changes
- Wind and rainstorms
- High humidity
Because of this, we always recommend HZ10 for our local clients.
But if you’re located outside of Texas or have property in other parts of the country, James Hardie also makes the HZ5 line for cooler, wetter areas. These boards resist freezing temps and snow damage.
Why Statewide Energy Solutions Recommends Hardie Siding
We’ve worked with just about every kind of siding on the market. In our experience, nothing beats the performance of the James Hardie® siding type when it comes to long-term results.
Here’s why we trust it:
- We don’t want to replace your siding more than once.
- It doesn’t warp, fade, or rot like others do.
- We install it cleanly and to code.
- The warranty is one of the best in the industry.
Plus, it just looks sharp. Whether you want traditional lap siding, board-and-batten, or smooth modern panels, James Hardie has styles to match any design. That means better curb appeal and better resale value.
If you live in Frisco or nearby towns like Garland, Coppell, or The Colony, we can help pick the right style and color for your house.
What to Pair with Your James Hardie® Siding Type
Siding is just one part of your home’s exterior protection. To get the best results, you need matching components that hold up just as well.
We often install James Hardie siding alongside:
- Energy-Efficient Windows
Our windows are built for Texas heat. They block UV rays, cut down on drafts, and help with electric bills. - Radiant Barrier Roof Decking
Keep attics cooler and ease the load on your AC with reflective roof decking. - Attic Insulation
Insulation prevents hot air from building up in your home. It also adds comfort all year long. - Doors Built for Weather
A strong entry door keeps weather out and helps secure your home.
When everything works together, you save money and stay comfortable.
