Colour and light at the heart of architecture
Few design elements influence the perception and presence of a building as profoundly as colour. In combination with natural light, it defines the architectural character and overall impression. From brilliant whites and natural hues to deep, dramatic blacks, Hardie® Panel products offer a wide palette of options for creating facades with striking visual impact.
A spectrum of colours for the desired architectural expression
The way a facade is perceived within its urban context is shaped primarily by colour, light, and texture. The Hardie® Panel range allows these components to be combined and balanced with precision – enabling architects to achieve the intended spatial and visual effect.
Timeless colour collections
The James Hardie colour palette unites classic permanence with contemporary sophistication. The Hardie® Panel and Hardie® Architectural Panel ranges are available in six standard colours, and can also be produced in virtually any bespoke shade upon request.
Designed for decades of performance, Hardie® Panel products retain their colour brilliance and surface quality over time –
a truly sustainable solution for durable facade design.
The range includes timeless, nature-inspired shades with bespoke finishes available on request. Hardie® Panel is UV-resistant, fade-resistant and backed by a 15-year warranty – for long-lasting facades with minimal upkeep.
Hardie® Panel offers excellent UV resistance and long-lasting colour fidelity. Even in intense sunlight or highly exposed locations, the finish maintains its depth and tone over many years – reducing maintenance requirements and preserving the intended architectural expression.
Architecture shaped by light and colour
Colour and light are intrinsic to the language of architecture. Whether through tonal gradations, precise contrasts, or corporate colour identities, Hardie® Panel and Hardie® Architectural Panel allow each design to express its own narrative. All RAL shades are available on request – offering complete creative freedom, from regionally inspired colour schemes to experimental surfaces with rhythmic structure and depth.
More options for facade design
Even more design options are offered by Hardie® Panel products, with textured surfaces and inspiration on cuts showcasing a wide variety of shapes.
