Fibre cement building materials were developed by James Hardie in the early 1980s. Engineered for durability, fibre cement is fire resistant, rot resistant and resistant to moisture damage, making it the ideal low maintenance alternative to traditional building materials. Fibre cement offers both contemporary and flexible design options and is used by many New Zealanders to create stunning facades. The simple combination of cellulose fibre, sand, cement and water, give the product its strength to stand the test of time. What’s it made of?
