The Aspyre Collection
The Aspyre Collection elevates customization to an entirely new level by offering two distinct styles. Whether you’re looking for something classic or contemporary, the Aspyre Collection ensures that there is something for everyone, making it a truly versatile choice for those seeking personalized elegance.
Artisan: Features V-groove, shiplap, square channel, and bevel channel options for a craftsman-style look. Hardie describes this collection as having a precise fit and finish for streamlined styling. Each style is 0.625 in. thick, weighs 4.55 lbs. per square foot, and comes primed for paint.
- V-Groove siding is akin to a Dutch lap style, where the main boards are divided by small v-grooves, adding dimension without being over the top.
- Shiplap siding offers a more straight-edge look, presenting a traditional and classic appearance.
- Square channel siding is similar to shiplap but features wider channels between the main boards, lending a modern yet traditional style.
- Bevel channel siding resembles square channel siding but with small bevels on the channels to emphasize the panels, offering added dimension.
Reveal: Includes recess trim and surround trim for modern, minimalist designs. This collection of siding features rectangular and square panels instead of longer boards, with a thickness of 0.438 inches and a weight of 3.1 lbs. per square foot. It offers two trim options and two different nail choices for panel connections. You can select between countersunk fasteners, which are concealed, or exposed fastener nails.
- Recess Trim: This hidden trim style fits between panels, filling most of the space and creating a smooth connection while highlighting the lines.
- Surround Trim: A visible, u-shaped trim that fits between the panel grooves, providing a strong definition and giving an industrial look to your siding.
HardieTrim® Boards
Complete your exterior with HardieTrim® Boards available in smooth and rustic textures. These boards serve as one of the finishing touches on your new siding and can border not only your trim but also the fascia, doors, windows, and columns. HardieTrim® is part of the James Hardie Statement Collection™, which offers a range of classic, neutral colors, but you can choose from hundreds of colors to match your style.
There are three different trim boards: 4/4, 5/4, and batten boards.
- 4/4: These boards are ¾ in. thick and available in either smooth or rustic. The rustic option provides a wood-like finish for a traditional aesthetic.
- 5/4: These boards are 1 in. thick and also come in smooth or rustic, allowing for versatile design choices.
- Batten Boards: These boards go hand in hand with HardiePanelⓇ vertical siding to create the board and batten style, where the batten boards are placed between each vertical board. They are available in Rustic GrainⒸ and smooth finishes, providing options to suit your design preferences, and are ¾ inch thick for a sturdy, traditional appearance.
HardieSoffit® Panels
Soffit refers to the area underneath that stretches from the top of the siding to the roofing’s edge. It’s a crucial component of siding replacement, offering protection and enhancing your home’s appearance. There are seven different styles of HardieSoffitⓇ panels:
- Non-Vented: For non-vented options, the popular non-vented cedarmillⓇ panels offer a wood-like texture that resists issues such as rotting and warping. Non-vented panels are also available in smooth, complementing siding style.
- Vented Soffit Panels: Vented soffit panels, available in smooth or cedarmillⓇ, feature small holes for meeting coding regulations and facilitating air circulation, which protects against mold.
- VentedPlus™: VentedPlus™ offers superior airflow with dash-shaped ventilation holes, available in cedarmillⓇ or smooth. It’s ideal for homes on close lot lines with venting restrictions.
- Beaded Porch Panel: Additionally, the Beaded Porch Panel style mimics traditional beaded horizontal siding, available only in smooth. It’s designed for porch ceilings where ventilation isn’t required.
