Why do you need Hardie board?
Durability. Hardie board unique blend of concrete and other composite materials makes it impervious to elements like rain, high winds, and humidity. It also is highly resistant to hail and flying debris. One big key to the longevity is that cement does not retain moisture, so this siding never rots, swells or warps.
Is Hardie board better than vinyl?
Alternatively, hardie board is denser (usually more than a quarter of an inch thick), just like real wood siding, which makes it much more durable than vinyl. Since it is composed of cement-like materials and wood fibers, it is stronger than vinyl and much less susceptible to wind and weather damage.
