OVERVIEW

About Hardie Fine Texture Cladding

Hardie Fine Texture Cladding is a James Hardie fibre cement sheet with a smooth, fine-textured face that delivers the look of rendered masonry without a wet render system. It gives a flat, contemporary facade finish while avoiding the weight, cost and cracking risk of traditional cement render. The sheets are factory finished to a consistent texture, ready for painting on site.

Manufactured from fibre cement, Hardie Fine Texture is deemed non-combustible and resistant to termites, rot and fire. It is rated Group 1 for fire performance and is BAL-40 compliant, and suitable for higher bushfire levels when used in certified Hardie wall systems. It is available in large-format sheets, 1200mm wide in 2400mm and 3000mm lengths at 7.5mm, for clean, uninterrupted wall planes with minimal jointing.

Hardie Fine Texture suits new residential builds, renovations and extensions where a smooth rendered look is specified. Browse the full fibre cement cladding range or contact your local Big River trade centre for advice and samples.
