    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 2440mm, 2750mm, 3000mm and 3600mm lengths at 8.5mm, 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.
