Hardie™ fibre cement offers both contemporary and flexible design options for your home.

Products by James Hardie are tough as well as beautiful. The fibre cement board is designed to stand up to New Zealand's harsh conditions, so it's ideal for windy and coastal areas. It's also resistant to fire, rot resistant and resistant to moisture damage. The simple combination of wood cellulose fibre, sand, cement, water and proprietary additives, gives the product its strength to stand the test of time.
