Experience the elegance of an external cladding featuring a horizontal ship-lapped joint. Stria™ cladding offers a range of options that are pre-primed and easy to install, making it the fast way to achieve a timeless and classic look that endures. This versatile cladding can be used in residential applications wherever a timeless, classic, and enduring look is required, including external walls in composite or full wrap construction, upper-storey and ground-level extensions, and internal feature walls.
Stria™ cladding comes in three unique profiles, each offering a variation of a 'classic' look. The standard profile is 325mm wide and 14mm thick with a square horizontal edge, providing the timeless charm and classic appeal of decorative rendered and raked masonry. The wide profile is 405mm wide and 14mm thick with a square horizontal edge, offering the classic appeal of decorative rendered block-work. Each of these looks can be further enhanced by your choice of corner detailing, such as aluminium, mitred, or Scyon™ Axent™ trim. Easy-to-cut mitred corners allow horizontal lines to wrap the building seamlessly, while a vertical flashing stop provides a 15mm vertical groove to match the horizontal for a more geometric treatment.
Stria™ cladding is the fast and simple way to create a timeless and classic look. Once the first board is fixed level, the shiplapped joint on the next extra-wide, 4.2m long board is fixed to the top of the previous board and can be joined on or off stud. This method offers a quicker alternative to the traditional process of laying bricks, rendering, scoring, and painting, which involves more mess and scheduling of different trades. Additionally, Stria™ cladding will maintain its integrity and general appearance significantly longer than timber, which is often susceptible to cracking, shrinking, or warping in exterior applications. Stria™ cladding resists shrinking, swelling, and cracking* to hold paint longer than wood and can be painted in both dark and light colors.
When used with HardieSmart™ wall systems, Stria™ cladding can achieve up to a 60-minute Fire Rating. With the right insulation and standard installation instructions, an R-Value of up to 2.8 can be achieved for the wall. Greater Total R-Values can be achieved through the use of cavity wall construction and reflective vapor permeable membranes. Refer to the James Hardie’s Wall System Thermal Performance Total R-Values Technical Supplement for more information. Made from Scyon™, the advanced lightweight cement composite with heavy-duty performance, Stria™ cladding is resistant to damage from termites, rot, and fire*, and can be gun nailed** and is easy to cut – like timber.
