Aristolath vs. Hardie® Plank Siding

Purchasing siding for your home is a sizable investment. It also brings a lot of questions to the surface. What type of siding will look best on my house? What kind will be the most durable? With all the home exterior choices on the market today, it’s a tough choice. To help you out we compiled this list comparing Hardie® Plank, a fiber cement siding, to Aristolath, a metal siding in the style of board & batten.

Hardie® Plank is a popular choice on today’s market. Here are some of the pros and cons to consider before you buy.

  • Fire resistance. Formed out of Portland cement, sand, water, and cellulose fibers, this material is considered non-combustible
  • Moisture resistance. When properly installed, Hardie® Plank resists water damage.
  • Appearance. Hardie® Plank is available in multiple styles and a variety of colors.
  • Fire resistance. Formed out of Portland cement, sand, water, and cellulose fibers, this material is considered non-combustible

Paint life. The color will have approximately a 15-year life, and you will need to repaint or replace fiber cement siding.

Now Meet Aristolath: innovative siding with the traditional look of board and batten but an all-metal construction.
