Yes. Hardie® Panel is classified as A2-s1,d0, meeting stringent fire safety standards for mid- and high-rise buildings.
Absolutely. Hardie Panel® is ETA-certified, CE-marked, and compliant with EN 12467 for fibre cement boards.
Note: Local certifications may be added as required.
Its lower density makes it easier to handle and install, reducing structural load and simplifying subframe requirements—without compromising durability or impact resistance.
Hardie® Panel supports multiple installation approaches:
Visible Fixing (Face Fix): Colour-matched screws or rivets for a bold, industrial aesthetic
Concealed/Secret Fixing (Rear Fix): Undercut anchors and brackets for a clean, uninterrupted surface
Rainscreen Façade Systems: Fully compatible with ventilated systems for moisture control and thermal performance
Horizontal or Vertical Orientation: Panels can be installed in either direction to suit design intent
Note: Horizontal framing should be avoided as it can block rear ventilation.
Hardie® Panel is designed for long-term durability, with resistance to moisture, frost, pests, and fading. Minimal maintenance required. Backed by a 15-year warranty.
