The Star Of The Show - HardieZone® HZ5
James Hardie takes a smarter approach to siding by tailoring products to specific climates. Enter the HardieZone® System, a regionally targeted engineering method that ensures your siding performs where you live.

HZ5® siding is designed specifically to stand up to:
- Freezing temperatures
- Heavy snow and ice
- Dramatic seasonal shifts
- Moisture from snowmelt and rain
Its unique composition resists warping, cracking, and mold caused by Minnesota’s notorious freeze-thaw cycles.

- Engineered moisture resistance
- Dimensional stability through seasonal changes
- Low water absorption
