Hardie board and vinyl siding are both durable, versatile, and low-maintenance options for siding projects. Hardie board, made from cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, offers exceptional resistance to elements like rot, fire, insects, and moisture while providing various aesthetic options. Vinyl siding, composed of PVC resin, is lightweight, affordable, and easy to install, requiring minimal upkeep and offering resistance to rot, pests, and moisture. These qualities make both materials popular choices among homeowners seeking reliable and cost-effective siding solutions.
