The clean, vertical-panel look James Hardie is known for, installed to manufacturer spec.
Board-and-batten is James Hardie's vertical-panel profile: wide flat boards with raised battens covering the seams. We install it exactly to Hardie's specification for clearances, fasteners and flashing, which is what keeps the manufacturer's warranty valid and the wall assembly dry.
We only install James Hardie board-and-batten, often paired with lap siding on the same home to distinguish gables, dormers and accent walls.
Correct clearances and fastening patterns, protecting the warranty.
Used to accent gables, dormers and second-storey walls.
James Hardie's non-prorated, transferable limited warranty.
Holds paint and colour far longer than wood board-and-batten.
