Fine Texture Cladding

Better than render, for the modern look
Hardie™ Fine Texture Cladding puts emphasis on form and buildability, in order to achieve a modern render look.

Create exterior walls with a modern rendered look without the need for a renderer, specialist cement or acrylic texture coating.

Hardie™ Fine Texture Cladding is a pre-textured fibre cement panel that has shiplap joints on the long edges. Without the weight of masonry they follow frames prompting bold designs. The smooth, natural sand texture adds warmth and diffuses light, giving a fine matte finish. Made of fibre cement it’s low maintenance and durable to stay looking good for many years to come.

Designed to withstand the tough conditions Australia goes through year-round, it’s resilient against everything from extreme heat to storms. Along with its inherent resilience, it’s the perfect canvas for painting however you see fit. 

The Fine Texture panels are pre-textured and pre-sealed, meaning that once they’re installed, they can be painted. With a low-sheen finish, this cladding is the ideal medium to create your dream home with. 

Benefits of Hardie™ Fine Texture Cladding
When your James Hardie Fine Texture cladding is installed, it’s primed and ready to paint, giving you the creative freedom to colour your home the way you’d like. No matter whether you opt for a matte finish or a gloss, you’ll get a smooth finish that’s built to last. 

These panels are ideal for use across a multitude of different architectural styles, looking equally as stunning on Victorian homes as they do on new builds. Their minimalist texture and profile allow the unique architecture of your home to be the focal point. These panels also hold paint better than timber, making for a long-lasting solution for homeowners with fewer ongoing touchups. 

Along with being a long-wearing choice, it can also improve the thermal insulation of your home, keeping you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. James Hardie cladding is also made as sustainably as possible, making it a more environmentally conscious choice. 

To make the panels, they utilise a mix of cement, sand, water and sustainably sourced cellulose pine tree fibre. While it has strong structural integrity, James Hardie Fine Cladding is incredibly lightweight, making it simpler to install and resulting in less load on your walls. 

Durable and Low Maintenance Pre-Textured Fibre Cement Panel
There is a multitude of benefits to installing James Hardie Fine Texture cladding. One of the most important for homeowners is that it’s a long-lasting and low-maintenance option. While timber can be subject to damage from insects like bora and termites, the nature of Fine Texture cladding is impervious to burrowing insects that can affect the integrity of your home’s cladding. This makes it an ideal option for zones where insect damage is a concern. 

Similarly, while timber can warp, crack or swell, fibre-reinforced cement like the Fine Texture Cladding from James Hardie is suitable across all climates and environments. From blistering heat to torrential rain, it’s remarkably resilient across all the conditions that Australia can throw at it. Due to this inherent versatility, it also requires less care over time, making it a more affordable cladding investment for your forever home. 

Additionally, for homes that are built in areas with high fire risks, James Hardie cladding is a good choice due to its fire resistance. It’s made from non-combustible materials and comes with a fire resistance level of up to 60 minutes. 

A Streamline Installation That Builders Love
Due to the lightweight and slimline nature of the James Hardie cladding panels, they’re easier to install, making them a dream for builders. They can easily be cut to size with a dust-reducing cement blade and be attached to anything from timber to light gauge steel frames with a nail gun. 

Not only does easier installation make it better for builders, but it also speeds the process up and makes for less maintenance in the future. Their pre-primed nature also means there are fewer steps when it comes to finishing the job, with James Hardie Fine Texture Cladding being ready to paint as soon as it’s installed.
