James Hardie aims for a 4 week manufacturing lead time for products in the Dream Collection for Alberta. If your contractor runs short on material you could be looking at a long delay for the job to wrap up. James Hardie materials can take between 4 and 8 weeks to ship to their suppliers in Edmonton (depending on the supplier). Any contractor ordering Hardie products that aren’t stocked locally should be ordering more extras than usual. This protects us from running short because of things like shipping damage, incorrect cuts during installation, and even defective boards from the factury. Usually when we order custom James Hardie materials, we add an extra waste factor of five to ten percent to the initial order. James Hardie is offering the Dream Collection at a 10% price premium to the Statement Collection, but figuring out the increased cost is a little more complicated. In addition to the old colours, the Dream Collection will bring on another 700+ colours for you to choose from! This is a major shift in the selection for Hardie, and greatly expands their ability to meet your desire for a particular colour. The Dream Collection is Hardie’s custom colour program, and it includes all the old standards that aren’t part of the Statement Collection. If you’re upset to learn your favourite colour is no longer available as part of the colour palette, don’t worry! It’s not totally gone, its just been renamed as part of the Dream Collection. Light Mist has been popular in BC for years and should fit Edmonton’s colour trends well. It’s an attractive addition to the very light gray range, with more of a blue undertone than Pearl Gray.
