James Hardie, a leading provider of exterior home and outdoor living solutions, returns to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) International Builders' Show^® (IBS) in Orlando from February 17 to 19.

From our trusted Hardie^® siding products to the premium TimberTech^® composite and PVC decking and railing solutions, we are redefining what is possible for the home.”

The prestigious tradeshow event, which gathers professionals from construction and building segments, will serve as a platform for the James Hardie portfolio to highlight products with a focus on resilience and beauty through immersive booths. Portfolio highlights at IBS 2026 include:

A Unified Vision: The Home of Resilient Beauty™
The James Hardie brand portfolio is united under one shared purpose: to enable the design of homes and spaces that blend timeless beauty with modern performance. Across its portfolio, James Hardie is committed to developing solutions that deliver unmatched durability and aesthetic appeal.

Hardie^®: What the Best are Made of™
Category Leadership
James Hardie is trusted by builders and homeowners alike for its scale, reliability, and performance. Hardie^® is the number one brand of siding in North America*, backed by a robust national manufacturing network of 9 plants across North America providing unmatched coverage to ensure product availability.

Innovation
The industry-leading portfolio of Hardie^® products, which includes Hardie^® Plank, Hardie^® Panel, Hardie^® Soffit, and Hardie^® Trim, will soon be expanding with the nationwide launch of the TimberHue™ Collection by James Hardie. This groundbreaking product captures the warmth of natural wood through a curated range of eight designer-selected, two-tone colors enhanced by hallmark durability and ColorPlus^® Technology finishes. The James Hardie 2026 Color of the Year, Iron Gray, will be on display, showcasing its bold versatility for modern and timeless design. And complementing this innovation is James Hardie’s IntuitiveEdge™ Solutions platform, which gives pros the tools, products, and support they need to elevate their building experience. It empowers builders so that jobs are faster and more seamless when working with James Hardie.

Durability
Better than wood-based siding, which can swell and expand when exposed to moisture, Hardie^® siding resists damage from water and humidity, performing reliably against rain, sleet, and snow. It also offers superior pest resistance, holding little appeal to termites or woodpeckers that commonly damage natural or engineered wood siding. In a controlled fire demonstration, Hardie^® fiber cement siding further proved its fire resistance and Class A fire rating by not burning** or combusting, unlike vinyl, cedar, or engineered wood alternatives.

For your home’s interior, Hardie^® Backer Board is made with industry-leading strength, composition, and performance. Hardie^® Backer Board is the most preferred brand among pros*** and is installed in more than 40 million kitchens and bathrooms****. It has unmatched strength and excellent tile adhesion, with advanced water protection and MoldBlock^® Technology to back up your next bathroom or kitchen renovation.

TimberTech^®: Decking for Every Vision
TimberTech^®, the #1 name in premium composite and PVC decking and railing solutions, invites attendees to experience the future of outdoor living. Advantage Rail™ will also debut at IBS—a revolutionary composite railing option designed for unmatched installation efficiency. Its patent-pending SPEEDLoc Technology, including a snap-on bottom rail and side-loading balusters, reduces install time and uses 25% fewer fasteners than leading competitors. Homeowners benefit from a premium wood-look design, hidden hardware, rattle-free construction, color-matched fasteners, and the assurance of both a 25-year limited product warranty and a 25-year fade & stain warranty—all at a competitive price point.

TimberTech^® expands its portfolio with Impression Privacy Screen™, a privacy screen solution that provides both decorative privacy and functional code compliant railing together in one system, offering homeowners a seamless look. An expansion of TimberTech^®’s existing award-winning railing line, Impression Rail Express^®, Impression Privacy Screen™ is engineered to work as an independent or unified system and has been live wind-load tested for durability so homeowners can have the cohesive look they want with the performance they need. Its sleek aluminum design complements a range of outdoor styles and is non-combustible, which is increasingly important in wildfire-prone regions. Explore these launches and discover TimberTech^®’s steadfast commitment to sustainability, resilience, and advanced features like Cool Touch^® Technology and top-rated fire resistance—each contributing to beautiful, long-lasting, and low-maintenance outdoor spaces.
