Create a modern look that clients will love, efficiently and easily. The textured fibre cement panels are connected to each other with shiplap joints and supported by a range of Hardie™ accessories, resulting in a streamlined installation process. This helps to save time, cost and complexity, reducing the amount of Tradies required on-site.

Versatile and forward-thinking

The 8.5mm thick Hardie™ Brushed Concrete fibre cement panels can be used alone for a modern, minimalist finish. The panels are also compatible with a selection of Hardie™ 9mm accessories ensuring multiple Hardie™ cladding panels can be mixed and matched for diverse designs. 

The 1200mm-wide panels are available in four lengths. This enables builders to select the most suitable size to increase installation efficiency and reduce wastage. It also allows for minimal joints and maximum coverage, especially in common wall heights up to 3600mm.

Panels are connected to each other with shiplap joints, cut to size, and typically gun-nailed with minimal patching required. There’s no need for specialists to set joints and apply textures; all that’s required for installation is a Chippie.

Style and substance

Hardie™ embedded texture technology enables beautiful, consistently textured panels. The look is reminiscent of softly brushed concrete, and the cladding comes pre-sealed and ready to paint.

Durable performance

This cladding is the ideal choice for non-combustible construction. It adheres to Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) requirements, up to BAL40. It can also be used as part of a Hardie™ Smart Fire and Acoustic Wall System, which achieves a fire resistance level (FRL) of up to 60 minutes.

Hardie™ Brushed Concrete fibre cement cladding has the added performance benefits of fibre cement, such as long-term durability and low maintenance. The panels resist warping, swelling, shrinking and damage from moisture. This can help to reduce the risk of paint cracking and deterioration, helping exterior walls to stay looking good for years to come.
