Thousands of possibilities with Hardie® fiber cement

Wide options for facade cladding are also demonstrated by interesting domestic implementations:

On the retaining walls and exterior ceilings of the new building of the Prague 12 Municipal Office, cement-bonded fiber boards fermacell® Powerpanel H2O and fiber-cement cladding from Hardie® Panels were installed two years ago.

Hardie® Panels, serving as facade cladding, also protect the structure of the kiosk and the facilities of the newly reconstructed Jammertal site under the Nuselský Bridge.

In an interesting way, facade boards Hardie® Plank and Hardie® Panel were combined on the balconies of the new Social Services Home of St. Catherine in Bolatice by architect David Mokrý.

These three selected references also demonstrate how wide the possibilities are for solutions regarding ceilings, balconies, and facades offered by the family of fiber-cement cladding materials from James Hardie. And the term family is not accidental, because the current offer includes not only Hardie® Panel and Hardie® Plank boards but also new facade panels Hardie® Architectural Panel and Hardie® VL Plank boards.

Facade cladding Hardie® Plank scores with installation versatility

Hardie® Plank boards have a format of 3600 × 180 × 8 mm, allowing architects and investors to choose between smooth boards or those with a wood structure according to their preferences, needs, and choices. Perfectly executed details allow for decorative profiles made of fiber-cement or metal for finishing corners and door or window structures. There is also great flexibility in the installation of the cladding boards, which can be laid horizontally (for example, traditionally as a staggered facade) or vertically. The wood structure appears natural because the pattern repeats on every 12th plank. Hardie Plank cladding boards are most often used as facade cladding for family and apartment houses or as part of design facades – cornices, extensions, annexes, garages...
