“Through the Hardie™Man Challenge, th builders demonstrated how easy it is to install HardieFlex even for do-it-yourself homebuilders and how beautifully it conforms to any design preference they please. HardieFlex is the next generation in building products that does not compromise peace of mind,” said Mark.

With Typhoon Maring just leaving the country and with an average of about 20 storms entering the Philippine area of responsibility, Filipino homeowners should be careful to use only authentic HardieFlex advanced building composite. HardieFlex by James Hardie is resistant to damage caused by moisture, fire and termites and does not contain cancer-causing asbestos.

When installed and maintained correctly, HardieFlex advanced building composite is designed to withstand varying weather conditions, from scorching dry heat to thick humidity; strong winds to typhoons, flooding, and constant moisture.

Being locally based, James Hardie can cater to homeowner’s needs faster. James Hardie has local consultants that are available anytime, anywhere in the country to provide product information and technical support.
