HardieTex

Textured Exterior Cladding

HardieTex™ cladding system, or blueboard, is a strong, pre-primed base sheet that is finished on-site with a specialised texture coat system. Made by James Hardie for over 20 years, HardieTex base sheets are the original blue board. Strong and durable, the HardieTex System is a 7.5mm thick fibre cement base sheet that’s finished on site using a third-party texture coat system (which includes joint reinforcement). Ideal for residential homes and home extensions where a rendered look is required without the weight of masonry.

  • Structural and scaffolding costs are reduced as no bricklayer is needed – a typical requirement for a building rendered brick wall.
  • Textured finish to give the look of a rendered wall without the weight or hassle of brick work.
  • Hardie’s fibre cement is resistant to fire, termites, rot and damage from moisture.
  • Gun-nail to timber frames or screw to light gauge steel frames.
  • Pre-primed and ready for paint.
  • Adheres to bushfire attack level requirements to BAL29.
  • Fire rating up to 60 minutes when used with HardieSmart™ wall systems.
