Hardie™ Oblique™ Cladding
Evoke a bold, contemporary aesthetic with the wide grooves and bespoke design flexibility of Hardie™ Oblique™ Cladding. Square and angled edges cast shadows that bring rhythm and depth to walls. Defined by its bold proportions, this cladding enables the creation of standout, one-of-a-kind facades. The only Hardie™ exterior cladding with a slanted groove edge, delivering highlights and shadows that shift throughout the day.
Available in 200mm and 300mm widths, these 14mm thick shiplap boards offer multiple installation options and allow for simple alternation or unique combinations. The horizontal Hardie™ Castellated Battens simplify vertical installation, allowing ventilation and drainage through the cavity.
Hardie™ Fine Texture Cladding
The render look feels calming and uncluttered compared with the busyness of a brick wall. Its subtlety aids design by putting the focus on the building’s form, or by allowing bold cladding features to standout.
Achieve a modern, minimalist aesthetic with Hardie™ Fine Texture Cladding. The smooth, natural sand texture adds warmth and diffuses light, giving your new home, renovation or extension a fine matte finish.
Hardie™ Fine Texture Cladding is a pre-textured fibre cement panel. It’s durable and lower maintenance than traditional cement render to stay looking good for many years to come.
Axon™ Cladding
Introduce drama and detail to your walls with the clean vertical lines of Axon™ Cladding. Incorporating the beauty and fine detail of painted vertical joint timber, but without time-consuming board construction or durability hassles, Axon is a range of vertically grooved panels with the detail of vertical joint timber. Featuring a stepped shiplap joint on the long edges for easy installation, it can be gun nailed and cut cleanly with a circular saw using a dust-reducing fibre cement blade.
The ideal option for contemporary upper storey and ground floor extensions and suited to modern and beachy building styles, vertical lines make an impact with line and form and bring variety and textural interest to external walls.
Stria™ Cladding
Achieve a range of sleek looks with customisable Stria™ Cladding. Featuring deep grooves from the thick shiplap cladding boards, the Stria range is an easy way to get the strong horizontal cladding lines in modern home and townhouse designs.
Stria cladding suits contemporary looks where a bold but pared-back aesthetic is desired. Introduce design versatility into your home by varying the application and switch between widths and orient the boards vertically or panelise them with the vertical flashing stop accessory. Stria 325mm and 405mm profiles are 14mm thick fibre cement with shiplap joints that leave 15mm wide horizontal grooves for strong clean lines.
Matrix™ Cladding
Matrix™ is an exterior cladding system with a clean, modern, expressed-joint look. Matrix offers a bold industrial aesthetic when an architectural panelised look is desired. Choose from various panel sizes that suit different stud spacings and let the 10mm express joint create a variety of geometric shapes in square, vertical, horizontal and brick pattern layouts.
Use Matrix for interior feature walls and paint the express joint a dark colour to accentuate the lines and shapes. The cavity construction design improves thermal properties and achieves higher R-values. To create a bespoke designer mixed materials look combine Matrix with other James Hardie Cladding products such as Stria and EasyLap for contrast and to accentuate design elements.
Primeline™ Weatherboard
Available in styles to match many heritage weatherboard homes, PrimeLine™ Weatherboards are a durable range of 9mm thick weatherboards for creating classic lines without the wonkiness of timber. The Primeline Chamfer profile has clean lines and comes in a double board height for fast installation.
The Primeline Newport profile features narrow boards with a rebate to deepen the overlap shadow line and is compatible with the HardieLock system for fast lap alignment. For extra shadow lines, Primeline Heritage weatherboard profile has a rebated edge and comes in double board height for fast installation.
