James Hardie Profiles
James Hardie fibre cement products are among the most specified cladding materials in Australia. Their range includes multiple profiles that create non-planar surfaces requiring proper mounting solutions.

Common Hardie Profiles
Axon Panel
Vertical grooved panel with a modern linear aesthetic. Available in multiple groove spacings. The grooves create mounting challenges for power points and fixtures.
- • 133mm, 200mm, 300mm panel widths
- • Recessed groove profile
- • Often installed vertically
Stria Cladding
Horizontal weatherboard-style with a distinctive striated face texture. The lap profile creates an uneven surface for mounting.
- • 405mm cover width
- • Horizontal lap installation
- • Textured face finish
ExoTec Facade Panel
Large format panel system with expressed joints. The jointing system creates a pattern that may intersect with electrical outlet locations.
- • Large format panels
- • Concealed or expressed joints
- • Multiple thickness options
Scyon Range
Includes Linea (weatherboard), Stria, Axon, and Matrix products. Each has unique profile characteristics affecting mounting.
- • Linea - bevel back weatherboard
- • Matrix - large format cladding
- • Various textures and profiles
Fibre Cement Considerations
James Hardie products are fibre cement - a composite of cement, cellulose fibres, and additite materials. This affects how you approach mounting:
Material Properties
- • Non-combustible
- • Dimensionally stable
- • Requires pre-drilling
- • Brittle if over-fixed
Fixing Requirements
- • Specific screw types
- • Edge distance rules
- • Fixing into frame
- • Sealant requirements
Warranty Notes
- • Follow JH fixing guides
- • Use approved sealants
- • Maintain clearances
- • Document penetrations
FlatClad for Hardie Products
Our spacers are designed to match the profile geometry of specific cladding products. For James Hardie profiles, we measure the groove pattern, depth, and spacing to create an inverse-matched spacer that sits flush against the panel face.
How It Works
- Profile dimensions captured from product data
- Inverse geometry generated parametrically
- Spacer fills grooves and sits flush
- Standard electrical hardware mounts cleanly
Available For
- • Power points and switches
- • Data and communication outlets
- • Light fixtures (via Universal range)
- • Cameras and sensors (via Universal range)
For Architects & Specifiers
James Hardie products are frequently specified on architectural projects. Including FlatClad spacers in your specification ensures electrical installations match the quality of your cladding selection.
Specification Approach
- Identify the specific Hardie product and profile
- Determine electrical outlet locations on profiled surfaces
- Specify FlatClad spacers by cladding profile and device type
- Include product codes in electrical schedule
For Builders & Electricians
Working with Hardie cladding on site? FlatClad spacers eliminate the need to improvise with timber packers or accept substandard finishes. Order spacers matched to your specific Hardie profile before electrical fit-off.
For Builders
Coordinate with your electrician early. Order spacers alongside electrical rough-in materials to have them ready for fit-off.
For Electricians
Request the Hardie product name from the builder. We'll match the spacer to that specific profile - no measuring required.
