Hardie® products with ColorPlus® Technology finishes: Helping builders deliver efficient and durable home exteriors
Learn how Hardie® products with ColorPlus® Technology finishes help deliver a project you can stand behind, while helping you reduce labor costs and improve overall build efficiency
As a builder, you know that home purchases are one of the biggest investments that consumers make in their lifetime. With that responsibility comes a strong desire to do right by homebuyers and deliver a product that you can stand behind. You want to keep your promises by using trusted materials, while also increasing build efficiencies and optimizing your costs. That’s where Hardie® products with ColorPlus® Technology finishes come in.
The many benefits of Hardie® products with ColorPlus® Technology finishes
James Hardie’s proprietary, multi-step baked-on finish is applied in a controlled environment at the optimum temperature and humidity to ensure superior color consistency. Hardie® products with ColorPlus® Technology finishes can help you drive lower labor costs by eliminating the need for exterior painters, reducing the time spent on the jobsite, and increasing overall build efficiencies, all while delivering beautiful and durable home exteriors.
The many benefits of using Hardie® products with ColorPlus® Technology finishes include:
- Deliver efficiencies and improve cycle times: Hardie® products with ColorPlus® Technology finishes arrive to the jobsite with factory applied, baked-on color. This enables you to eliminate field painters and the headaches associated with crew availability and specific weather requirements for paint application. With a prefinished product, you worry less about field painters’ availability, finish consistency and unplanned weather delays. Optimizing time and costs on the job with prefinished products, like Hardie® products with ColorPlus® Technology finishes, can streamline processes and provide jobsite efficiencies, helping you deliver quality homes on time.
You don’t have to schedule the painters, you don’t have to wait for a sunny week so the siding can be painted, it’s put on and ready to go.
