James Hardie offers endless design possibilities for the exterior and interior of your home.
Traditional charm. Bold modern lines. Or a mix of both? Whatever your vision, our range of exterior cladding products offers the ultimate design flexibility so you can create a lasting dream home that’s as individual as you are. Your home is your most important investment. It demands the very best in quality, protection and design. Built for tough Australian conditions, Hardie™ fibre cement cladding is specifically designed to perform beautifully wherever you live.
Our products are fire resistant, impact resistant and resistant to damage from moisture and termites which gives you the confidence that your family is protected. Plus, Hardie™ fibre cement is low maintenance meaning more time spent doing the things you love. Deciding to renovate your home or build a new home is not a small undertaking, and maybe you feel a little intimidated. If you’ve been inspired by the looks as seen on The Block, we have the tools you need to take the reins on your renovation and will help turn your vision for your home into reality.
Create the home of your dreams. A home with protective exteriors every bit as eye-popping as the interiors. A creation of lasting beauty you’ll never tire of coming home to. It's Possible™ with James Hardie.
