Frequently Asked Questions
How does Hardie Board compare to vinyl siding in Calgary?
Hardie Board dramatically outperforms vinyl in Calgary. While vinyl becomes brittle at -30°C and can crack from hail impact, Hardie Board maintains flexibility to -40°C and has Class 4 hail resistance. Vinyl expands/contracts up to 1" per 12' section in our temperature swings, while Hardie Board remains dimensionally stable. The 30-year transferable warranty vs vinyl's 20-30 years makes Hardie the clear winner.
What about Hardie Board vs wood siding for Calgary homes?
Wood siding requires annual maintenance in Calgary due to our freeze-thaw cycles and UV exposure. It's susceptible to rot, warping, and pest damage. Hardie Board offers the beauty of wood with minimal maintenance - just rinse with a hose every 6-12 months. Plus, Hardie's fire resistance may qualify for insurance discounts, while wood siding may increase premiums.
Which Calgary neighborhoods commonly use Hardie Board?
Hardie Board is extremely popular in Calgary's premium neighborhoods including Aspen Woods, Mount Royal, Elbow Park, Signal Hill, and newer communities like Mahogany and Auburn Bay. After the 2020 and 2024 hailstorms, we've seen massive uptake in severely hit areas like the NE and NW quadrants where homeowners want permanent hail protection.
What maintenance does Hardie Board require in Calgary?
Virtually none! Unlike wood that needs annual staining or vinyl that can fade and crack, Hardie Board only needs a gentle wash every 10-15 years. The ColorPlus® finish is baked on and warranted for 15 years against fading. No painting, no staining, no replacing cracked panels after hailstorms - just decades of worry-free performance.
