The Old World elegance of wood siding is not without its downsides; you’d need to invest a lot of time and money to maintain the material’s aesthetic appeal. This is due to wood’s susceptibility to moisture, rot and mold.

Luckily, you can enjoy that same opulence without having to worry about the upkeep with James Hardie® Artisan® siding. It can mimic the feel and texture of authentic wood while retaining fiber cement’s characteristic durability.

Here are the features of Artisan siding.
