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.
Engineered to endure. Hardie’s fibre cement is resistant to fire, termites, rot and damage from moisture.
Gun-nail to timber frames or screw to light gauge steel frames. Pre-primed and ready for paint.
Adheres to bushfire attack level requirements to BAL29. Fire rating up to 60 minutes when used with HardieSmart™ wall systems.
A fibre cement broad wall solution with a textured finish to give the look of a rendered wall without the weight or hassle of brick work.
