James Hardie Siding Chicago Has Beautiful Siding Hue’s
Thinking about taking the plunge into the deep end…of the color palette? Jump in! You won’t be alone. More and more Midwest homeowners are opting for main siding colors with some depth, like deep blues and grays, rich greens and bold reds.
And if you clad your home in James Hardie® siding and trim, you can feel secure knowing your bold siding color will stay vibrant longer with less maintenance compared to field-applied paint. ColorPlus® Technology helps resist damaging UV rays that can eventually dull the finish over time.
Let’s take a closer look at homes clad in the deep colors of the James Hardie ColorPlus palette, like Evening Blue, Iron Gray, Deep Ocean and Countrylane Red.
