James Hardie to Showcase New Innovations at NAHB 2025

James Hardie Building Products Inc., recognized as a leader in the building industry in North America, is gearing up to make a grand return to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) International Builders' Show® (IBS) scheduled from February 25 to 27, 2025, in the vibrant city of Las Vegas. The company will unveil its expanded portfolio of Hardie® products, all aligned with its mission of "Building a Better Future for All™."

Commitment to Innovation

In a statement from Sean Gadd, the President of James Hardie North America, the company expressed enthusiasm about participating in this significant tradeshow event. Gadd stated, "We are excited to return to IBS for another year to showcase our commitment and support for the homebuilding industry, highlighting our latest innovative products designed to meet the challenges of climate change."

The IBS serves as an essential gathering for construction and building professionals, and this year James Hardie aims to emphasize three core themes: durability, sustainability, and design.

Durability in Adverse Conditions

The first highlight is the durability of Hardie® siding. These products are engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions, including harsh winds, fire, pests, and moisture. The non-combustible Hardie® fiber cement exterior products are tailored to specific climate zones, ensuring optimal performance and protection. Attendees at the show will be able to explore these features through three specially constructed model homes: the Rain House, the Snow House, and the Desert House, each demonstrating the products' adaptability to different environmental challenges.

Sustainability Efforts

James Hardie is dedicated to sustainability in its operations and product offerings. As the impact of climate change grows, the need for resilient and durable building solutions becomes increasingly urgent. Hardie® products are designed not only for comfort and aesthetic appeal but also for their low maintenance and minimal environmental footprint. The company plans to showcase its commitment to creating climate-resilient homes at the IBS,
including its sponsorship of Habitat for Humanity's Habitat Strong program, which aims to make sustainable housing more accessible to communities in need.

A Focus on Design

Design innovation is another key area where James Hardie shines. The company continues to introduce personal design elements for home exteriors that reflect consumers' evolving tastes. One of the highlights at the IBS will be the 2025 Color of the Year, named Evening Blue. This tranquil hue embodies serenity and provides a calming effect, which is vital in today's high-pressure environment. Attendees will have the opportunity to view this and other product colors and designs up close,
allowing them to envision the potential for their home exteriors.

Expanded Product Offerings

In addition to its well-known siding products, James Hardie is set to showcase the return of Hardie® Artisan® Trim, featuring thick boards that complement deep shadow lines to create a striking façade. Starting in mid-2025, both trade professionals and homeowners can utilize these trim boards to enhance their home exteriors.

Moreover, the company is introducing the Hardie® Architectural Panel, which offers design flexibility with the option for horizontal or vertical installation. The unique textures of the panel work well to conceal finishing nails, ensuring a polished appearance.

Conclusion

As the event approaches, James Hardie invites all interested parties to visit booth C4507 at the International Builders' Show to discover the breadth of innovation and commitment the brand upholds in the building materials sector. With a passionate mission and a promise to uplift communities through better homebuilding practices, James Hardie continues to set itself apart as an industry leader.
