HardieTex™ System

The original blue board for fibre cement rendered walls.

HardieTex used as a gorgeous frame for the breeze blocks

Product Details

Made by James Hardie for over 20 years, HardieTex™ base sheets are the original blue board. Strong and durable, the HardieTex System is a 7.5mm thick fibre cement base sheet that’s finished on site using a third-party texture coat system (which includes joint reinforcement). Ideal for residential homes and home extensions where a rendered look is required without the weight of masonry. Structural and scaffolding costs on second story builds and extensions are reduced by using HardieTex instead of heavy bricks as no bricklayer is needed – a typical requirement for a building rendered brick wall.

HardieTex™ System. Discontinued from 2 August 2021 in favour of a more contemporary product.

The HardieTex™ Base Sheet is superseded by NEW Hardie™ Fine Texture Cladding. An innovative pre-textured panel that allows cladding and painting on the same day. It uses no set joints which reduces the risk of joint cracking.
