James Hardie® Paint Technology

A revolutionary breakthrough in the industry, ColorPlus® Technology is exclusive to James Hardie and cannot be purchased anywhere else. We devoted 4 years to developing our unique paint technology and formulated it specifically for James Hardie Siding Products and our proprietary manufacturing process.  

Most paint is developed for a wide variety of conditions and materials. To truly maximize performance, the siding material, manufacturing process, and environmental conditions need to be taken into account when formulating paint.

After testing over 2,000 formulas, the James Hardie ColorPlus paint technology was perfected and ready for production. Factory applied to ensure application and color consistency; each coat of James Hardie ColorPlus paint is baked on in a controlled environment.

What does this mean for you?

  • Up to 30% better fade resistance--So no matter your geographical location, James Hardie colors stay truer, longer.
  • Finish that lasts up to 8 years longer than traditional paint, providing peace of mind and saving thousands of dollars in painting costs over 15 years.
