CHICAGO
, Feb. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — James Hardie Building Products Inc. (James Hardie), a leader in North American home building products, is set to return to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) International Builders’ Show® (IBS) in Las Vegas from February 25 to February 27, 2025, unveiling an expanded Hardie® product portfolio that reinforces the company’s purpose of Building a Better Future for All™.
“We are excited to return to IBS for another year to showcase our commitment and support for the homebuilding industry and to share our latest innovative products that are Engineered for Climate® and support our purpose of Building a Better Future for All™,” said Sean Gadd, President of James Hardie North America.
The prestigious tradeshow event, which gathers professionals from the construction and building segment will serve as a platform for James Hardie to highlight its innovative products with a focus on durability, sustainability and design. Key touchpoints at James Hardie’s approx. 5,600 square foot village at IBS (booth number C4507) include:
Durability
The exterior of a home is often the first line of defense against extreme weather conditions and natural disasters. Hardie® siding is non-combustible and designed to resist damage from extreme temperatures and winds, fire, pests, and water. Only Hardie® fiber cement exterior products are Engineered for Climate®. They are designed specifically with your climate zone in mind for optimal performance. IBS attendees will be able to experience firsthand these climate-specific durability features as well as the versatility and beauty of those products through three model homes, each constructed to reflect the needs of a specific climate and region: the Rain House, Snow House and Desert House.
Sustainability
James Hardie is relentless in pursuing its purpose of Building a Better Future for All™ and providing sustainable, resilient solutions to homeowners as our planet faces greater climate challenges. Hardie® products are durable, resilient and low maintenance by design. We continue to work to reduce the environmental impact of all Hardie® products without sacrificing our durability or resilience. IBS attendees can see these products in action and learn about their role in creating climate-resilient homes. Attendees will also see the company’s contribution to making climate-resilient homes more accessible through its corporate sponsorship of Habitat for Humanity’s Habitat Strong program.
Design
James Hardie continues to lead with innovation and personalized design for exterior solutions, with a focus on driving demand and preference with homeowners. This is one of the many reasons James Hardie’s 2025 Color of the Year – Evening Blue – as well as other colors and products will be on full display at the booth. The calming and tranquil blue hue was carefully selected to bring peace and serenity to homes, reflecting the need for relaxation and tranquility in today’s fast-paced, stress-filled world.
James Hardie will be showcasing an expanding portfolio of products at its IBS booth including the return of Hardie® Artisan® Trim, featuring 1.5-inch-thick boards that sit proud to complement the deep shadow lines of Hardie® Artisan® Siding to create a distinctive look that will set your home apart. Starting in mid-2025, trade professionals and homeowners alike can use Hardie® Artisan® Trim to confidently add sophistication to homes without compromise.
Hardie® Architectural Panel will also be available across North America starting mid-2025. Hardie® Architectural Panel can be oriented vertically or horizontally for additional design flexibility, and the varied textures help hide finishing nails for a clean and crisp look. Furthermore, the integrated panel and trim system assists with water management, helping to protect your siding and home from the elements. Choose from several stucco- and nature-inspired textures that can be paired with other Hardie® products for a mixed materials appearance that elevates the traditional look of stucco, giving your exterior a fresh perspective.
“Our Hardie® Artisan® Trim and Hardie® Architectural Panel products add distinct elegance and superior protection from the elements to home exteriors, and I’m thrilled to be expanding availability of these offerings to more homeowners,” Gadd said.
