I wanted to go with Allura for their stain colours. Hardi only has solid colours, but I wanted a wood look.

It might be just my area, but nobody carries it. There's a local distributor, and retailers will get it. But the minimum quantities are ridiculous. And the prices are higher than custom painted Hardi. :(

Also, whenever I've mentioned Certainteed here, I've learned that there are people who have a serious hate on for it. They tell you to google it and you'll learn that there have been class action law suits. But, according to google, there have also been class action law suits against Hardi.

Good luck with your search.

You may have to paint in 10 yrs anyway.

Pre-painted "Sand" 10 yrs. in. After replacing some cracked boards, you can see the amount of fading.

Painters starting next week. Paint is covered but the labor is on us.
