4 HardieShingle® Siding Profiles You Need to Know

When embarking on a new siding replacement project, there are numerous options available. Given the prominence of the siding as a design feature that contributes to curb appeal, having an old and worn out one will not suffice. 

If you’re considering James Hardie® siding for your project, know that there are different profiles to choose from, including the following:

Straight Edge

This profile is characterized by perfectly aligned rows of shingles. Because the tiles vary in width, it creates a clean appearance without appearing dull or monotonous. This straightforward pattern complements both contemporary and traditional home styles, making it one of the most flexible siding profiles available.

Staggered Panels

In this siding profile, the panels with varying widths are arranged in staggered rows, giving the surface a more “random,” dynamic appeal. Experts in siding replacement recommend this vibrant texture for cottages, ranch homes, and even standard homes seeking a warm, inviting aesthetic.

Individual Shingles

Individual shingles are an excellent choice for a design that best displays the uniqueness of your property. You get to choose the width of the components using this profile. As the siding contractor suggests, you can choose a consistent appearance, adjust the width of each shingle, or alternate the shingle dimensions.

Half-Round Shingles

In contrast to the previous profiles, half-round shingles feature a circular bottom edge. This profile is frequently found on vacation houses, but it can also be utilized on gazebos or even the main house structure. Half-round shingles, like straight edge shingles, are put in perfectly aligned rows.
