The Hardie® Artisan Collection® represents the pinnacle of fiber cement siding design, combining old-world architectural detail with the proven durability of James Hardie® products. Inspired by traditional craftsmanship, Artisan siding features thicker profiles, authentic shadow lines, and refined textures that elevate the look of luxury, historic, and custom homes throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and East Bay.
Installed by the experienced team at Custom Exteriors, the Hardie® Artisan Collection® delivers exceptional curb appeal without sacrificing long-term performance or low-maintenance benefits.
Thicker siding profiles for enhanced shadow lines
Thicker siding profiles create deeper, more pronounced shadow lines that add dimension and architectural interest to a home’s exterior. This added depth enhances curb appeal by highlighting textures, trim details, and design elements that flatter both traditional and modern styles. The result is a richer, more refined look that elevates the overall appearance of the home.
Refined textures that replicate traditional wood craftsmanship
Refined textures are designed to closely replicate the look and character of traditional wood craftsmanship, capturing the subtle grain patterns and detailing homeowners love. These finishes deliver the warmth and authenticity of hand-crafted wood while maintaining a consistent, high-end appearance. The result is a timeless exterior aesthetic that pairs classic beauty with modern performance.
Custom trim and molding options for high-end detailing
Custom trim and molding options allow for precise, high-end detailing that enhances a home’s architectural character. These elements frame windows, doors, corners, and transitions with clean lines and depth, creating a polished, finished look. When paired with premium siding, custom trim and molding elevate the exterior design and deliver a truly custom appearance.
Narrow and wide board options for classic or transitional styles
Narrow and wide board options provide design flexibility for both classic and transitional architectural styles. Narrow boards create a refined, traditional look with subtle detailing, while wider boards offer a more modern, streamlined appearance. This range of profiles allows homeowners to tailor their exterior to match their home’s character and personal style.

The Hardie® Artisan Collection® is especially well-suited for historic and heritage-style homes where architectural authenticity and refined detail are essential. Its thicker profiles and traditional textures complement the character of older homes while delivering the modern performance benefits of fiber cement siding.
This premium siding is also an excellent choice for Craftsman, Colonial, and Traditional architecture, where detailed trim, balanced proportions, and classic design elements define the exterior. For custom homes, the Artisan Collection pairs beautifully with intricate trim packages, allowing for a truly tailored and high-end appearance.
Whether used as a striking accent on gables and feature walls or installed across an entire façade, Artisan siding adds depth, dimension, and sophistication that standard siding profiles simply can’t replicate.
