Hardie® Architectural Panel cladding makes bringing beautiful designs to life both safe and affordable. Hardie® Architectural Panel is available in two textures: Smooth Sand and Brushed Concrete.

Your projects can also have complete colour flexibility as we can match to any standard RAL colours.

In light of recent updates to legislation and safety requirements, there are many buildings in the UK that will need to replace existing non-compliant façades with a non-combustible alternative in both the residential and commercial sectors. In line with the Building Regulations and Approved Document B, any relevant building with a height of 11m or more must have its external walls constructed from materials with a minimum A2-s1,d0 fire classification. Hardie® Architectural Panel cladding can be used in a ventilated construction fixed to either timber frame, steel frame or masonry walls using corrosion-resistant rivets or screws. Our cladding can be installed with or without insulation. With Hardie™ Blade saw blade, the panels can be easily cut to size on site.

Hardie® Architectural Panel can be used as a direct replacement for existing cladding on a range of buildings and is also suitable for new-build construction. The non-combustible A2-s1,d0 rated panel can be trusted for protection against fire and extreme weathering for many years to come, whilst providing the strength, durability and style that your clients deserve. All of our external façade products are backed by an industry-leading 15-year warranty.
