HardieTex™ Cladding
Textured Exterior Cladding
HardieTex™ Cladding is a strong, pre-primed fibre cement base sheet system designed to achieve a modern rendered look without the weight of masonry. Also known as blueboard, HardieTex has been manufactured by James Hardie for over 20 years and remains the original blue board solution.
At 7.5mm thick, HardieTex cladding provides a durable base for a specialised on-site texture coat system, which includes joint reinforcement. This ensures a smooth, long-lasting finish that enhances both the look and performance of your exterior walls.
