Nichiha Unveils NichiHome for Greater Design Flexibility
Nichiha is excited to announce the launch of NichiHome, an innovative all-in-one fiber cement cladding system designed to be an invaluable resource for architects, contractors, and homeowners. This groundbreaking product line allows users to achieve stunning aesthetics with a wide variety of choices, all available from a single source.
Transforming Construction with NichiHome
With NichiHome, construction professionals can create breathtaking designs while benefiting from a streamlined installation process. Kenny Collins, Director of Residential Sales, shared, "Nichiha has a long-standing tradition of inspiring diverse home styles, from traditional to modern. NichiHome is unique because it empowers everyone involved—from architects to homeowners—to easily bring a variety of cladding designs to life, ensuring both beauty and durability even in harsh weather conditions."
A Comprehensive Product Line
NichiHome features three main product categories that work together to deliver a complete cladding solution:
Architectural Wall Panel (AWP): This system replicates the visual appeal of wood, concrete, and brick while simplifying the installation process. Each product in the AWP range is distinguished by its integrated rainscreens, which effectively manage moisture while providing a cohesive appearance through a unified installation track.
Premium Siding: This product combines the timeless look of traditional lap and cedar shake siding with the strength of fiber cement. Thicker and designed for versatility, Premium Siding allows for deeper shadow lines and corner mitering, all while maintaining a classic craftsman aesthetic that requires minimal upkeep.
NichiProducts: Completing the NichiHome lineup, these products showcase popular designs, including cedar wood grain textures and board-and-batten styles. Resistant to warping, rotting, and pest issues, NichiProducts offer beautiful aesthetics combined with long-lasting performance, avoiding common problems associated with natural wood.
NichiHome: The Next Generation of Cladding
The launch of NichiHome marks a significant milestone for Nichiha in its commitment to supporting a variety of architectural styles across different price ranges. Collins emphasizes, "These products together form a comprehensive cladding system that is ideal for both small and large residential projects, offering a rich array of styles and colors that enhance any home’s design."
The Benefits of Fiber Cement
Fiber cement stands out for its ability to replicate traditional materials while providing superior durability. Nichiha products are engineered to resist fire, rot, and pest damage, ensuring a longer lifespan and lower maintenance requirements. Furthermore, all three NichiHome offerings have earned Miami-Dade certification, confirming their strength against storms and high winds.
Installing AWP products is straightforward, thanks to the brand’s proprietary Ultimate Clip System. This system enables designers and builders to efficiently bring their aesthetic visions to life without the need for specialized labor, ultimately saving both time and resources.
