With a clean, modern, expressed joint appearance, Matrix™ Cladding offers a bold industrial aesthetic when an architectural panelised look is desired.

It brings design diversity and suits mixed cladding designs in new builds as well as upper floor and ground floor extensions. Choose from various panel sizes that suit different stud spacings, and let the 10mm express joint create a variety of geometric shapes in square, vertical, horizontal and brick pattern layouts. Paint the express joint a dark colour to accentuate the lines and shapes.

Read more details

To create a bespoke designer mixed materials look combine Matrix with other Hardie™ external cladding products such as Stria™ Cladding and Hardie™ Brushed Concrete Cladding for contrast and to accentuate design elements. Made with Hardie™ fibre cement, it is engineered to endure, standing up to coastal and other Australian harsh conditions. It is fire and rot resistant and resistant to damage from moisture and termites.
