At the end of August, This Old House Ventures published an updated article entitled “Fire-Resistant Roofing and Siding.”

Central States unveils steel board and batten siding, promising durability, aesthetic appeal and versatility for residential and commercial structures.

Saint-Gobain North America, through CertainTeed, has installed a smart water submetering system and upgraded equipment at its siding plant in Jackson, Michigan. This upgrade reduces the site’s consumption of water by more than 9 million gallons per year, a reduction of more than 50 percent compared to 2019 levels.

Nova USA Wood’s new ExoDek and ExoClad QuickClip hidden fastening systems for decking and siding captured the widespread interest of builders, contractors, architects and developers attending the 2022 Los Angeles Build Expo. This was due to each system’s unique and patented ability to expand and contract with wood and composite products, which naturally swell and shrink as the moisture and humidity levels rise and fall throughout the changing seasons.

A collection of home exteriors that will stand the test of time, The Magnolia Home James Hardie Collection of siding is now available nationwide in a variety of nature-inspired colors, styles and textures.

The collaboration with James Hardie, a world leader in fiber cement home siding and exterior design solutions, marks Chip and Joanna Gaines’ entrance into exteriors, the next frontier in home design.

Every home has a story to tell. James Hardie and Magnolia Home aim to inspire homeowners to transform their home’s curb appeal with long-lasting beauty and durability.

By automatically feeding one screw after the next and leaving one hand free, auto-feed systems reduce fatigue, boost productivity and generally turn two-person jobs into one-person jobs.

ExoClad Rainscreen QuickClips were especially-developed by Nova USA Wood Products to accommodate the natural swelling and shrinkage of wood siding throughout each of the four seasons despite the amount of moisture or dryness. 

To create a modern aesthetic in a traditional, upscale neighborhood, architects at Piatt Associates, Inc. turned to James Hardie for the exterior cladding on Bay State Corner, a 10-unit modular condominium building in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 

Hurricane-force winds. Searing rays from the sun. Baseball-sized hail. These are just a few elements that home exteriors can be subjected to on a regular basis.
