Kelly-Fradet is proud to offer James Hardie siding products to match your home style beautifully.
Help harden your home against unexpected damage, with James Hardie from Kelly-Fradet
Your siding is exposed to changing New England weather year after year. Hardie® fiber cement siding is engineered to provide lasting protection while maintaining the look and character of your home.
Hardie® fiber cement siding will not ignite when exposed to a direct flame - nor contribute fuel to a fire. In contrast, fire feasts on wood and melts vinyl almost instantly.
Hardie® products are engineered to resist water and humidity – and will stand up to rain, sleet, and snow.
Hardie® products are made to withstand severe weather: hurricanes, rainstorms, strong winds, extreme heat, UV rays, humidity, snow, hail, freezing temperatures, and more.
Hardie® siding holds little appeal for woodpeckers, termites and other wood-boring insects and pests.
Engineered for New England Weather
James Hardie® products are Engineered for Climate® to provide performance suited to regional weather conditions. For northern climates, Hardie® products are designed to handle freezing temperatures, seasonal temperature changes, snow, ice and moisture.
That makes James Hardie siding a strong option for homes and building projects throughout Connecticut and Western Massachusetts.

Lasting Style with Less Maintenance
A well-designed exterior should look great without becoming a constant maintenance concern. James Hardie siding provides the appearance and design flexibility homeowners want with the durability and lower-maintenance benefits of fiber cement.
Hardie® siding is used on millions of homes across North America and is available in a variety of profiles, textures and colors to complement traditional, transitional and modern home styles.

Benefits of James Hardie Siding:
