Why Shawn Forth Homes Uses Hardie Board Siding – And Why You’ll Love It

Hardie Board Siding

When you build with Shawn Forth Homes, you’re not just choosing a beautiful, custom-crafted residence — you’re investing in long-term quality. That’s why we use James Hardie® siding on our homes. Known for its durability, beauty, and unbeatable performance, Hardie Board is a favorite among builders and homeowners alike.

🔎 What Is Hardie Board?

Hardie Board is a fiber cement siding made from a blend of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. It’s designed to replicate the look of traditional wood siding — but with none of the warping, rotting, or termite damage that can come with natural wood.

💪 Why It’s Beneficial

1. Exceptional Durability

Oklahoma’s weather can be unpredictable — heat, hail, wind, and storms. Hardie Board stands strong against it all. It’s resistant to fire, pests, moisture, and extreme weather, making it one of the most durable siding options on the market.

2. Low Maintenance

Hardie Board doesn’t peel, crack, or swell like wood — and it’s backed by a 30-year limited warranty. That means fewer repairs and less time worrying about upkeep.

3. Timeless Curb Appeal

Available in a variety of styles and textures, Hardie Board gives you that rich, authentic look of wood — with long-lasting color technology through ColorPlus® baked-on finish that resists fading over time.

4. Fire Protection

Unlike vinyl or wood siding, fiber cement is non-combustible, giving your home added protection and potentially lowering insurance premiums.

🏠 What It Means For You as a Homeowner

Choosing Shawn Forth Homes means choosing thoughtful, high-quality materials — and Hardie Board is just one example of how we go the extra mile. With this siding, you’ll enjoy:

 • Peace of mind from weather and fire protection
