Bring Warmth and Durability to Your Multifamily Project
Multifamily developments demand more than just performance—they require design-forward solutions that stand the test of time. The TrueGrain Series™ by Fisher offers the perfect balance of form and function, pairing the timeless warmth of wood with the strength of fiber cement.
Designed specifically for James Hardie fiber cement products, the TrueGrain Series™ adds a refined wood-look finish that enhances façades, highlights architectural elements, and elevates the overall curb appeal of any multi-unit building.
The TrueGrain Series™ is a premium line of prefinished, two-tone wood look coatings applied to James Hardie fiber cement siding, soffits, and trims. Developed by Fisher, this series allows architects, designers, and builders to achieve the look of real wood grain—without the maintenance issues typically associated with natural materials.
By combining James Hardie’s trusted durability with Fisher’s rich, factory-applied stain effects, the TrueGrain Series™ delivers high-end visual impact across a wide range of multifamily building styles.
