James Hardie Cladding Products

James Hardie cladding and weatherboards are made from advanced fibre cement materials, which are non-combustible, compared to wood cladding and uPVC cladding. Because of its relatively high-density fibre cement is naturally resistant to adverse events such as fire, extreme weather conditions, pests, rot and fade.

They are designed to reinstate fire resisting performance to external wall cavities that are required to be ventilated (open-state) in non-fire conditions. The FF102/50 is manufactured from a rigid intumescent material allowing it to be provided in a strip format, it is also covered with a protective layer of aluminium foil for ease of handling. In the event of a fire the FF102/50

Its finally arrived! Our brand new website is finally live after months of hardwork.

Whats new on the website?

Our website has been completely renovated. It has a direct link to our in house price and stock servers which constantly show the live prices and stock availabilty all within a fully automated system. Every item that is displayed on our site is identical to our system in store making it easier to check if an item is in stock without calling the office. The price is also linked directly to our system in store. It is also set up for nationwide deliverys for pretty much any product. Over 6000 products with images and descriptive text all available to purchase for either collection or delivery, this is a massive leap from our previous site which only featured small shop items and mainly the James Hardie fibre cement cladding boards.

Rowlinson Garden Products are one of our "drop-ship" suppliers. Rowlinson deliver garden products from their Warehouse direct to customer's addresses throughout most of mainland UK.  They have been working through Autumn on 7 days lead time but they have now reached the point where this can no longer be guaranteed. Couriers are now experiencing their busiest time of  year and the situation is not helped by the ongoing dispute at Royal Mail and Parcelforce. 

Today, 6th December 2022, is thier last guaranteed day for Rowlinson delivery before Xmas.  There will be no deliveries between 22nd December and 4th January 2023 inclusive. Rowlinson Offices will be closed from midday on 21stDecember until 8.15am on 3rd January
