The Various HardiePlank Siding Options Based on Engineering and Style

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Bill Houston

HardiePlank is a brand of fiber-cement board sidings produced and distributed by the James Hardie Company. This brand is often chosen by many Americans because of the various HardiePlank siding options although it may cost more than other traditional house sidings like vinyl or wood. The HardiePlank has also been proven durable to different weather conditions. It is also pleasant to look at and is also easily customizable when it comes to style or color.

Different people like different things. The same goes for house sidings and that's why there are different HardiePlank siding options. There are two differently-engineered types of HardiePlanks and there also several different available styles or looks to choose from.

A. HardiePlanks Based on Engineering

The northern part of the United States has a decidedly different climate and set of weather conditions when compared to the southern part of the United States. It is typically hotter in the southern region while it is colder and usually snows in the northern region. Because of this, there are two differently-engineered HardiePlank siding options. These are the HZ5 and the HZ10.

1) The HZ5

The HZ5 is also known as the "Hardiness Zone 5". It covers zones 1-5 and designed for the northern part of the United States. These are the areas which are normally affected by snow or very cold weather. The HardiePlanks available in this area have a very high resistance to snow, ice, and cold weather.

2) The HZ10

The HZ10 is also known as the "Hardiness Zone 10". It covers zones 6-10 and the planks found in this area are designed for the southern part of the United States which includes Florida, Arizona, and California. The HardiePlanks available in this area are heavily resistant to heat and hot temperatures. At the same time, they are also very resistant to heavy moisture environments. For example, this type of Hardieplank works well in areas often visited by typhoons or rain.

B. HardiePlanks Categorized By Style

A homeowner can also choose from the different styles of siding available from the Hardieplank line. What makes these styles different from each other is their appearance.

1) Custom Colonial

The Custom Colonial style comes in two forms - Custom Colonial Smooth and Custom Colonial Roughsawn. These planks both have a thickness of 5/16 of an inch, a width of 8 inches, and a length of 12 feet per plank. These planks weigh 2.3 pounds per square foot. They differ in their appearances. Although both of these planks have smooth indented bands at the top which runs the whole length of the planks, the Custom Colonial Roughsawn plank has an rough surface under the band while the Custom Colonial Smooth plank has a smooth surface under the band area. They are called "customized" since these planks have the name of the James Hardie company carved into the space above the band of the planks.

2) Select Cedarmill

The Select Cedarmill style comes available in two forms - the Select Cedarmill C+ and the Select Cedarmill. These planks are both 5/6 of an inch thick, weigh 2.3 pounds per square feet, and measures 12 feet per plank. They also both have rough finishes and neither has a band of smooth surface. They are both available at widths 5.25 inches, 6.250 inches, 7.250 inches, and 8.250 inches. However, what makes them different from each other is that Select Cedarmill C+ is available in ColorPlus colors while Select Cedarmill is only available in normal colors.

3) Beaded

The beaded HardiePlank style is actually available in four forms - the Beaded Cedarmill style, the Beaded Smooth style, the Custom Beaded Cedarmill style and the Custom Beaded Smooth style. The Beaded Cedarmill and the Beaded Smooth styles are both 5/16 of an inch thick, weigh 2.3 pounds per square feet, and both have a length of 12 feet per plank. They are also both available in a width of 8.250 inches. There is a small portion found near the bottom of these planks which appears to run the length of the plank. This small portion is smooth and indented. However, the Beaded Cedarmill style is rough at the area on top of that small, smooth, indented line while the Beaded Smooth style has a smooth finish on that same area at the top of the indented line. The Custom Beaded Cedarmill style and the Custom Beaded Smooth style, in the meantime, look almost similar as the Beaded Cedarmill and the Beaded Smooth styles except that the "Custom" styles have the name of the company embedded near the top edge of the planks.

4) Smooth

The Smooth plank style comes in two forms - the Smooth Lap Siding plank and the Smooth Lap Siding C+ plank. These two styles measure 5/16 of an inch in thickness, weigh 2.3 pounds per square feet, and have a length of 12 feet per plank. These are also available in four widths - 5.250 inches, 6.250 inches, 7.250 inches, and 8.250 inches. The only difference between the two Smooth plank styles is that the Smooth Lap Siding C+ is available in ColorPlus colors while the Smooth Lap Siding style is not.

In conclusion, there are two categories of HardiePlank siding options. One group is categorized by engineering whereas the other group is categorized by look. Your HardiePlank's engineering category depends on what HardieZone you're in. Your HardiePlank's style category, however, is something that you get to choose.
