FAQ
James Hardie Siding in Davenport — FAQ
Extreme, unbuffered coastal salt exposure. Davenport sits on an open cliff edge directly above the Pacific off Highway 1, so raw salt spray and fog are the controlling concern for any exterior here.
Non-combustible fiber cement, including James Hardie, with corrosion-resistant stainless fastening over an aggressively detailed drainage plane. It resists salt-driven decay and keeps a slow-drying, fog-bound wall venting.
Raw salt air corrodes ordinary nails and screws quickly, loosening cladding and staining walls. We use stainless fastening on Davenport's seaward elevations so the fastening survives as long as the siding does.
Moderate. The surrounding North Coast hills and brush carry seasonal fire risk, especially on set-back acreage. The non-combustible fiber cement we use for salt protection is Class A, so it adds ember resistance as well.
Yes. Fiber cement can replicate appropriate lap and trim profiles, so a re-clad Davenport cottage still reads as part of the historic village while the assembly beneath it finally stands up to the cliff exposure.
Yes. Seaward cliff elevations take raw, unbuffered salt spray, so corrosion, finish failure, and advanced rot concentrate there, while inland sides weather gently. We scope each elevation to its actual exposure.
