## THE LOOK OF REAL WOOD

James Hardie fiber cement shake siding is designed to mimic the look of natural wood shake. The shingles have grain lines and staggered shapes, just as you'd find with natural wood shingles.

## LOW MAINTENANCE

Fiber cement shake shingles have none of the maintenance required with real wood shake. You don't have to re-paint or re-stain these shingles. Neither do you have to worry about having to replace warped or rotten shingles. All you have to do to keep your fiber cement shingles looking fresh is to spray your house with the hose once or twice a year.

## DURABILITY

James Hardie fiber cement siding is extremely durable. You can expect this siding to last for decades. This siding is impervious to pest damage from termites or woodpeckers. In addition, water flows right off of it without penetrating. This product comes with a 30-year, non-prorated, transferable warranty.
