Modern two-story house with a black timber and exposed brick exterior
If you're after a no-fuss way to achieve the timber look, without the time consuming board construction and durability hassles, Axon™ by James Hardie is the perfect addition to your next build.

If you’re after a smart pristine look, Axon™ cladding creates a beautiful uniform surface. The vertically grooved panels are a design highlight for any modern family home or inner city apartment.

The clean vertical lines of Axon™ Cladding are the perfect addition to a modern home, manufactured with sharp lines and a smooth surface. Axon™ Cladding provides a no-fuss way to achieve the timber look, without the time consuming board construction and durability hassles. Being fibre cement, imperfections such as knots, splinters, twisting and warping are absent.

The range of vertically grooved panels with the detail of vertical joint timber, feature a shiplap joint on the long edges, enabling easy and efficient installation. Axon™ Cladding sheets are 1200mm wide and 9mm thick, and are pre-primed to speed up construction. Available in various heights and profiles, Axon™ Cladding is suitable for common wall sizes, reducing waste.

Utilise Axon™ Cladding in contemporary upper storey and ground floor extensions, as well as modern and beachy builds to make an impact with the detail of vertical lines and bring textural interest to both internal and external walls. Internally, Axon creates drama and detail in feature walls, with the ability to run vertically or horizontally for a different look.
