HardiePlank Cladding

HardiePlank® Cladding is a nominally 8 mm thick fibre cement plank intended as external cladding for residential and commercial buildings both new build and renovation. To get the full benefits of this product it is essential to use the correct accessories.  Each board is 3.600mm long with a depth of 180mm, allowing for a 30mm lap this gives a cover of 150mm.

Versatile Fibre cement Cladding

HardiePlank® cladding is a colourful and versatile weatherboard that offers the texture and natural beauty of timber while delivering the maintenance-free durability of fibre cement. It can be installed horizontally, vertically or diagonally, providing full freedom and flexibility to create any design, and making it particularly ideal for multi-dwelling developments or regionally clad traditional styles.

Classic Weatherboard Appearance

The stunning appearance of HardiePlank® cladding is enriched by two available textures, cedar and smooth. This enables you to achieve just the right textural effect for your design, whether it emulates a traditional wood architectural style or creates a contemporary look. At Southern Timber we keep the cedar texture planking in stock in a wide range of colours. Smooth boards are currently available to special order only.

Choice of 21 Vibrant colours

Sealed, primed and painted in the factory with the exclusive ColourPlus® coating.  JamesHardie HardiePlank® cladding is available in 21 different colours, so it arrives at your building site ready for fast and easy installation, with no need for onsite painting.

Ready to go, easy to maintain

Installing HardiePlank® cladding is a quick and easy process, a lot faster and easier than cutting wood, especially when cutting plank with the HardieGuillotine™ or HardieBlade®. The 10-year limited warranty guarantees that, unlike wood, HardiePlank® cladding will stay looking good year after year. It stands up to the toughest weather conditions without cracking, peeling or chipping. It also resists scratches, fire and vermin damage. The cladding should be checked every year for any signs of damage but maintenance is usually minimal.
