Greenhaven's James Hardie's fiber cement siding is not only beautiful, long lasting, and durable but it also resists termites and other harmful pests. This siding will require less maintenance and less paint than wood siding. And with manufacturing facilities a short distance from the job site this product has a reduced carbon footprint in the supply chain.
At Greenhaven we used a combination of James Hardie siding products and the James Hardie Artisan Series.

3. What are the environmental benefits?
James Hardie products are made from an environmentally responsible formulation of wood fibers, sand, cement and water. The building system in which they are used can specifically lend itself toward higher quality, more durable, energy efficient homes. In many areas, consumers even receive an insurance discount because the products resist flame spread and can be installed to resist hurricane-force winds.
Consumers love the look of wood but don’t want to constantly maintain and replace it. James Hardie products achieve the perfect balance - enabling the beauty and character of wood but also providing the low maintenance, durability and safety benefits consumers want.
