HardieTM Fine Texture Cladding. The beauty of clean lines and a modern look. Streamline the building process and deliver the modern looks and clean lines homeowners want. HardieTM Fine Texture Cladding is the first fibre cement cladding panel manufactured in Australia embedded with the texture of fine render. 1 Introduction HardieTM Fine Texture Cladding is a fibre cement panel embedded with a consistent fine render texture. The shiplap joint on the long edges leaves a subtle V-joint. It removes the need for time-consuming set joints and specialty coatings that could be prone to cracking. The panels are pre-sealed, and flush driven brad nails remove the need for patching. Simply apply regular exterior acrylic flat paint on-site (Refer to the Finishing section on page 16 for more information). Renovation. The texture is designed to match popular cement or acrylic render for a consistent match with the rest of the house. New homes and townhouses. Mix it with other cladding products by James Hardie to achieve design diversity. Specifiers. Ensure the information in these specifications is appropriate for the application you're planning. Undertake specific design and detailing for areas which fall outside the scope of these specifications. Installers. Ensure that you follow the design, moisture management and associated details and material selection provided by the designer and the HardieTM Fine Texture Cladding Installation Guide.

May cause cancer if dust from product is inhaled. Causes damage to lungs and respiratory system through prolonged or repeated inhalation of dust from product. Intact fibre cement products are not expected to result in any adverse toxic effects. The hazard associated with fibre cement arises from the respirable crystalline silica present in dust generated by activities such as cutting, rebating, drilling, routing, sawing, crushing, or otherwise abrading fibre cement, and when cleaning up, disposing of or moving dust. When doing any of these activities in a manner that generates dust, follow James Hardie's instructions and best practices to reduce or limit the release of dust, warn others in the area and consider rotating personnel across the cutting task to further limit respirable silica exposure. If using a dust mask or respirator, use an AS/NZS1716 P1 filter and refer to Australian/New Zealand Standard 1715:2009 Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Equipment for more extensive guidance and more options for selecting respirators for workplaces. For further information, refer to our installation instructions and Safety Data Sheets available at www.jameshardie.com.au. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO OUR WARNINGS, SAFETY DATA SHEETS, AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. James Hardie Recommended Safe Working Practices CUTTING OUTDOORS 1. Position cutting station so wind will blow dust away from the user or others in working area. 2. Warn others in the area to avoid dust. 3. Consider rotating personnel across cutting tasks to further limit respirable silica exposures. 4. Use one of the following methods based on the required cutting rate: Best n HardieTM knife n Hand guillotine n Fibreshear Better n Position the cutting station in a well-ventilated area. Use a dust reducing circular saw equipped with HardieTM Blade Saw Blade or comparable fibre cement blade and well maintained M-class vacuum or higher with appropriate filter for capturing fine (respirable) dust. Wear a properly-fitted, approved dust mask or respirator (minimum P1). CUTTING INDOORS n Cut only using HardieTM knife, hand guillotine or fibreshears (manual, electric or pneumatic). n Position cutting station in a well-ventilated area. DRILLING/OTHER MACHINING When drilling or machining you should always wear a P1 dust mask and warn others in the immediate area. IMPORTANT NOTES 1. For maximum protection (lowest respirable dust production) James Hardie recommends always using best practice cutting methods where feasible. 2. NEVER use a power saw indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. 3. ALWAYS use a dust reducing circular saw equipped with a sawblade specifically designed to minimise dust creation when cutting fibrecement preferably a sawblade that carries the HardieTM Blade logo or one with at least equivalent performance - connected to a M class or higher vacuum. 4. NEVER dry sweep - Use wet suppression, or an M class vacuum or higher with appropriate filter. 5. NEVER use grinders. 6. ALWAYS follow tool manufacturers' safety recommendations. 7. ALWAYS wear a properly fitted, approved dusk mask, P1 or higher DUST MASKS AND RESPIRATORS As a minimum, an AS/NZS1716 P1 respirator must be used when doing any activity that may create dust. For more extensive guidance and options for selecting respirators for workplaces please refer to Australian/ New Zealand Standard 1715:2009 "Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Equipment". P1 respirators should be used in conjunction with the above cutting practices to minimise dust exposure. For further information, refer to Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available at www.jameshardie.com.au. If concern still exists about exposure levels or you do not comply with the above practices, you should always consult a qualified industrial hygienist or contact James Hardie for further information. STORAGE AND HANDLING To avoid damage, all James Hardie's fibre cement products should be stored with edges and corners of the product protected from chipping. James Hardie's fibre cement products must be installed in a dry state and protected from weather during transport and storage. The product must be laid flat under cover on a smooth level surface clear of the ground to avoid exposure to water, moisture, etc. All design and construction must comply with the appropriate requirements of the current National Construction Code (NCC) and other applicable regulations and standards. Slab and Footings The slab and footings on which the building is situated must comply with AS 2870 `Residential slabs and footings Construction' and the requirements of the NCC. Ground Clearances Install HardieTM Fine Texture Cladding with a minimum 150mm clearance to the earth on the exterior of the building or in accordance with local building codes if greater than 150mm is required. Maintain a minimum 50mm clearance between the external cladding and roofs, decks, paths, steps and driveways. Adjacent finished grade must slope away from the building in accordance with local building codes, typically a minimum slope of 50mm over the first metre. Do not install external cladding such that it may remain in contact with standing water. NOTE Greater clearance may be required in order to comply with termite protection provisions, see below for more information. Termite Protection The NCC specifies the requirements for termite barriers. Where the exposed slab edge is used as part of the termite barrier system, a minimum of 75mm of the exposed slab edge must be visible to permit ready detection of termite entry. Structural Bracing HardieTM Fine Texture Cladding can be installed to provide wall bracing against lateral forces due to wind. For further information, Ask James Hardie on 13 11 03. Fire Rated Walls HardieTM Fine Texture Cladding can achieve fire ratings of 60/60/60 and 90/90/90 when constructed with additional fire rated linings as specified in James Hardie's Fire and Acoustically Rated Design Manual and Construction of Fire and Acoustically Rated Walls Technical Specification. The length of fasteners must be increased for the additional linings. Moisture Management It is the responsibility of designer or specifier to identify moisture related risks associated with any particular building design. Wall construction design must effectively manage moisture, accounting for both the interior and exterior environments of the building, particularly in buildings that have a higher risk of wind driven rain penetration or that are artificially heated or cooled. In addition, all wall openings, penetrations, junctions, connections, window sills, heads and jambs must incorporate appropriate flashing and waterproofing. Materials, components and their installation that are used to manage moisture in framed wall construction must, at a minimum, comply with the requirements of relevant standards and the NCC. Joint Location Before starting the installation of HardieTM Fine Texture Cladding, plan the location of vertical and horizontal joints to follow the house design. To achieve this, consider aligning the joints with key building features such as windows or other opening, or work from the centerline out to the wall edge to achieve symmetry. HARDIETM FINE TEXTURE CLADDING INSTALLATION GUIDE PAGE 3 OF 20 Weather Barrier A suitable water control membrane must be installed under HardieTM cladding in accordance with the AS/NZS 4200.2 `Pliable building membranes and underlays Installation' and NCC requirements. James Hardie has tested and certified the use of HardieTM Wrap weather barrier for Climate Zones 2-8 within Australia. HardieTM Wrap weather barrier is a Class 4 vapour permeable membrane that delivers a tripleshield of protection to help against external weather penetration, internal condensation management and external heat penetration through its safeglare reflective layer. If using an alternate product in lieu of HardieTM Wrap weather barrier or the project is located in a hot, humid area (Climate Zone 1), the designer must ensure that the product is fit for purpose and it has the following classification in accordance with AS/NZS 4200.1:2017 `Pliable building membranes and underlays Materials': TABLE 1 Weather Barrier Classification Climate Zone 2-8 1 Water Control Classification Water Barrier Vapour Control Category Vapour Permeable (Class 3 or 4) Vapour Barrier (Class 1 or 2) FRAMING General HardieTM Fine Texture Cladding panels are installed vertically either directly fixed to frame or installed to vertically oriented HardieTM Cavity Trim or timber battens to provide a vented cavity, this can be done over either timber or steel frames. The general framing requirements for installation are given in Table 2. Table 2. Please ensure the frame design considers correct load transfer between the different wall components. Maximum stud, HardieTM Cavity Trim and fastener spacing for HardieTM Fine Texture Cladding panels for wind load classifications of AS 4055 `Wind Loads for Housing' are given in Table 3. FASTENERS General All nails must be driven flush. Brad nails are recommended for best aesthetic finish. For more information and advice, Ask James HardieTM on 13 11 03. Fastener Durability (Including Coastal Areas) Fasteners must have the appropriate level of durability and be fully compatible with all other materials required for the intended project. In areas within 1km of a coastal area, areas subject to salt spray and other corrosive environments, class 4 fasteners must be used. Soft compressible insulation installed between the front of the wall studs and directly behind the external cladding can cause installation issues and is thus not recommended. Flashing All wall openings, penetrations, intersections, connections, window sills, heads and jambs must be flashed prior to cladding installation. Flush nailing Unacceptable under driven Unacceptable over driven TABLE 2 NAIL FASTENER DEPTH General Framing Requirements Type Timber Steel Design Use of timber framing must be in accordance with AS 1684 and the framing manufacturer's specifications Use of steel framing must be in accordance with NASH standard for Residential and LowRise Steel Framing Part 1: Design Criteria and the framing manufacturer's specifications.

Position and fix the cladding to two faces of the column. Ensure the fasteners do not interfere with the HardieTM 9mm Aluminium Slimline Corner HardieTM Cavity Trims affixed to timber or steel column using appropiate fasteners. Contact fastener manufacturers for specific details. STEP2 Prepare cladding for the final remaining face with panel edges cut to 45 degrees and Slimline External Corner accessories fitted to each edge. Insert the whole assemby into position against the column as shown and fix in place. Timber or steel column FIGURE 38 FIXING TO TIMBER OR STEEL COLUMN PAGE 16 OF 20 HARDIETM FINE TEXTURE CLADDING INSTALLATION GUIDE 10 Finishes and Maintenance 11 Product Information SURFACE PREPARATION Ensure the surface is dry, clean and any overdriven nails are patched in accordance with this specification. Any slightly overdriven brad nails (1mm max.) may be repaired using a suitable external grade filling agent and blended with the surrounding texture using a sponge or utility pad if required. Sealants James Hardie recommends the use of HardieTM joint sealant, which is a paintable polyurethane sealant. Use of alternative sealants must comply with manufacturer's instructions. Sealants, if coated, must be compatible with the paint system. PAINTING Panels must be finished within 3 months of being fixed with the recommended coating set out in Table 4 and the project specification. In areas within 1km of a coastal area or corrosive environment, panels must be coated immediately after fixing sheets to minimise contamination build up on the heads of the fasteners. TABLE 4 HardieTM Fine Texture Cladding Finishing Requirements Flat Acrylic Paints Exterior acrylic flat paint. A nap roller of 12mm or 3 greater is recommended for optimal finish. For best results,use low-sheen or matt finish exterior paints in natural colours. Roll-On Texture Paints (1-2mm) 8 Panels are pre-textured, they are not compatible with textured paints. Stains & Clear Sealers Semi-transparent stains can vary in uniformity of appearance depending on method of application and conditions and will require a high level of skill and craftsmanship to achieve a 8 uniform appearance. Clear coats have not proven durable in exterior exposure and James Hardie considers them a maintenance item that may require application of a refurbishing sealer at regular intervals. James Hardie does not warrant the appearance or durability of semi-transparent stains and clear coats. MAINTENANCE The extent and nature of maintenance will depend on the geographical location and exposure of the building. As a guide, it is recommended that basic normal maintenance tasks shall include but not be limited to: n Washing down exterior surfaces every 6-12 months* n Periodic inspections should be made to ensure fasteners are adequately securing the sheets to framing. n Re-applying of exterior protective finishes* n Maintaining the exterior envelope and connections including joints, penetrations, flashings and sealants that may provide a means of moisture entry beyond the exterior cladding. n Cleaning out gutters, blocked pipes and overflows as required. n Pruning back vegetation that is close to or touching the building. PRODUCT INFORMATION Material The basic composition of James Hardie's fibre cement products is Portland cement, ground sand, cellulose fibre, water and proprietary additives. James Hardie's fibre cement products are manufactured to AS/NZS 2908.2 `Cellulose-Cement Products-Flat Sheet'. These are also compliant with equivalent standard ISO 8336 `Fibre-cement flat sheets - Product specification and test methods'. For product classification refer to the relevant Physical Properties Data Sheet. Durability Resistance to Moisture/Rotting HardieTM Fine Texture Cladding have demonstrated resistance to permanent moisture induced deterioration (rotting) by passing the following tests in accordance with AS/NZS 2908.2: n Water permeability (Clause 8.2.2) n Warm water (Clause 8.2.4) n Heat rain (Clause 6.5) n Soak dry (Clause 8.2.5) Resistance to fire HardieTM Fine Texture Cladding is suitable where non-combustible materials are required in accordance with C1.9 of the National Construction Code (NCC). James Hardie's fibre cement building products have been tested by CSIRO in accordance with AS/NZS 3837 and are classified as conforming to Group 1 material (highest and best result possible), with an average specific extinction area far lower than the permissible 250m2/kg, as referenced in Specification C1.10a of the National Construction Code (NCC). Resistance to Termite Attack Based on testing completed by CSIRO Division of Forest Products and Ensis Australia, James Hardie's fibre cement building products have demonstrated resistance to termite attack. Alpine Regions In regions subject to freeze/thaw conditions, all fibre cement external cladding must be installed and painted in the warmer months of the year where the temperature does not create freeze and thaw conditions or paint issues. The cladding must be painted immediately after installation. In addition, fibre cement cladding must not be in direct contact with snow and/or ice build up for extended periods, e.g. external walls in alpine regions subject to snow drifts over winter. Furthermore, a reputable paint manufacturer must be consulted in regards to a suitable product, specifications and warranty. The paint application must not be carried out if the air temperature or the substrate temperature is outside the paint manufacturer's recommendation including the specified drying temperature range James Hardie's fibre cement products external cladding products are tested for resistance to frost in accordance with AS/NZS 2908.2 Clause 8.2.3. *Refer to your paint manufacturer for washing down and recoating requirements related to paint performance.
