Cement board is an excellent choice for siding since it is primarily made from Portland cement and offers the strength and performance of masonry including the benefits of minimal upkeep, fire protection and termite proof.

Stone veneer can really add highlights to your home and create visual interest when you are adding a product like Hardie Cement Board. It is important to find the right mixes of stone veneer and the exterior siding. Think of stone as the accent to highlight the home. Look for focal points on your home like a front entryway, columns, chimneys, knee walls and peaks to add stone. Since manufactured stone veneer is lightweight and thin, the product can be easily installed with your siding installation.
