Hardie Plank Cedarmill Fiber Cement Lap Siding has a woodgrain appearance making it ideal for exteriors where a traditional wood siding look is desired. ASTM E136 noncombustible cladding will not attract pests including termites and woodpeckers. HZ5 engineering means it is made to withstand temperature fluctuations, snow, ice, freezing temperatures and hail. Board is factory primed using a primer with a slight green hue. To finish, apply an acrylic, water-based exterior house paint to the primed board within 180 days of installation.
Durable, fiber cement siding withstands the toughest weather conditions
Natural cedar look house siding with a woodlike grain texture resists water absorption to protect against swelling and cracking

This product works great. Big Notice: Although it says white, it comes as shown in the cement fiber, greenish color, so be aware if you need it to come white. That is the only reason it has 4 stars for Home Depot.
For people who don’t have a cement fiber saw or blade or have never worked with it, you can get by just fine by scoring your line to few times with an exacto knife and it will snap perfectly and cleanly on your cut line.

James Hardie siding is pain, suffering and misery.
Advertising sounds great: great fire rating, hail damage resistance, termites resistance.
But let me tell you what is not advertised.
Firstly, it is quite an expense to install it. In most places it's more expensive than stucco and x-times the price of PVC siding.
Secondly, it's hard to install right. Your installer has to be very proficient. I have used one that was recommended by James Hardie themselves and installation was ruined (see pics after 2y).
Thirdly, manufacturer warranty is next to none. It's next to impossible to claim anything. I was told it's quote "between myself and my installer".
Lastly, if installed over foam, it moves and flaps, waking up family members and completely ruining my life.
I wish I can turn back the time ...

Be careful how you transport it but it is a superior siding after installed.
