James Hardie cladding, manufactured from fibre cement, offers water resistance and a barrier from permanent water damage, protecting the exterior of a building. Fibre cement is very long lasting, UV resistant and resistant to weather and temperature change, moisture and water absorption. It does not chip, crack, warp, rot or discolour and is resistant to pests such as termites and woodpeckers.
Is the cladding fire resistant?
James Hardie cladding we install is fully compliant with building and fire regulations. It is tested under the A2 s1-d0 fire rating and complies with European Standards for non combustible materials.
