We are giving our house a 'facelift' and have been looking at Hardy board. The shades are not exactly what we want, and I wondered if there were any other companies doing the same sort of material (quality, guarantees etc.)

If you explain what sort of thing it is, you might get more replies.0

It's cladding. Cement based.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0

Yes, that's right. In the old days, people used wooden boarding/siding for their houses. It was very popular in East Anglia in the 1500/1600s and consequently made its way to the US where it became known as Cape Cod style.
I am in Essex and everyone building or renovating their homes is using this new type cladding; it's weatherproof and doesn't require painting as the colour is through the whole of the material. The only problem is that the only company that seems to make this stuff is Hardie (or could be Hardy).I can't believe thay have a monopoly, and that's why I asked for names of other manufacturers.0 -
