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 Hardies 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.
