Designed for the Kansas City Climate
Specially formulated for two distinct climatic zones, James Hardie sidings can withstand the harshest and most extreme weather conditions known to man. It has two variants: the HZ5® and the HZ10® systems.
HZ5
The HZ5 product line is engineered for architectural structures built in freezing cold climates. Other features include:
- Damage Resistance: Moisture from ice, snow and freezing temperatures is no match for noncombustible James Hardie siding.
- Drip Edge Technology: With improved water management, roofing leaks are now a thing of the past.
- Superior Paint Adhesion: James Hardie is engineered to ensure buildings maintain their beauty and integrity while fending off the harsh cold.
- Limited Warranty: A 30-year limited transferable warranty is offered as a token of faith.
HZ10
The HZ10 product line is built to combat the sweltering heat as well as hurricane-force winds. Where there are harsh sunlight and strong winds, there’s James Hardie siding. Other features include:
1. Damage Resistance: The coastal salty sea air is notorious for causing the swelling, rotting, cracking and splitting of whatever material stands in its way. But, such a notorious offender finds its match in flame-resistant James Hardie siding.
2. Fade Resistance: ColorPlus® Technology ensures fade resistance. Products from the HZ10 line stay beautiful, even in the face of the unforgivingly humid seasons.
3. Limited Warranty: This siding comes with a 30-year limited transferable warranty that’s as steadfast as James Hardie products.

Reviews
We talked to multiple companies while deciding who to use for the exterior of our home. Safe Harbor was transparent, fast, and offered James Hardie siding compared to all the other companies only offering vinyl. Safe Harbor was much more affordable than many of the other companies, who just wanted as much money as possible. We are extremely happy with our siding, soffit, fascia, flashing, gutters, windows and the guarantee that comes with their work. If there was any more work to be performed, without a doubt, we would chose safe Harbor again.
Safe Harbor installed James Hardie siding, soffits, and gutters. The install was meticulous and our home was left cleaner than when the company showed up. The level of detail in the install was beyond expectation! We are so pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the install team!
