James Hardie: A Trusted Partner for Modern New Zealand Builds

Industry leaders in building envelope materials, James Hardie has been a trusted and highly reliable partner across countless VIKON projects. In outfitting homes with modern, durable, and forward-thinking solutions, James Hardie sets the standard.

Between their extensive range of products – from wall lining to flooring, perhaps their most reputable and recognisable is their fibre cement cladding – in the form of both weatherboards and panels. Their distinctly sleek and uniform cladding solutions have quickly risen to become a staple of modern New Zealand exteriors – and for good reason. VIKON have chosen James Hardie products for their incredible compatibility with New Zealand weather and future-ready composition, as well as being certified to rigorous standards such as CodeMark, BRANZ, and GreenTag. Our earliest projects featuring their cladding have shown lasting resilience and quality performance, which is why we are confident in using their building solutions. Their low-maintenance nature makes it easy for homeowners to maintain a pristine appearance with minimal effort.

While often seen finished in matte black and manila white, the boards can be painted a variety of different colours. With an increasingly-prevalent population of modern weatherboard homes, James Hardie’s designs are sure to stay relevant well into the future – both aesthetically and performantly, and have served both VIKON and our clients excellently.
