Since the Grenfell Tower tragedy, many homeowners have understandably become more cautious about external cladding. One of the first questions we now hear is, “Is this cladding fire safe?”

It’s an important question, and one every installer should answer clearly.

Hardie® Plank cladding is made from fibre cement, not combustible plastic or timber composites. It has been extensively tested for fire performance and achieves a Euroclass A2-s1, d0 fire rating when installed as part of a compliant system. This means it offers very limited combustibility and produces minimal smoke and no flaming droplets in the event of a fire.

For homeowners, that brings reassurance alongside the practical benefits people already look for in external cladding.

Hardie® Plank is built to handle the British weather year after year without rotting, warping or swelling. It stands up well against heavy rain, damp conditions and strong winds, while keeping the appearance of natural timber without the ongoing maintenance.

Grey Hardie® Plank remains one of the most popular choices for modern homes. It gives a clean, contemporary finish that works equally well on full property renovations, extensions and feature walls.
When fitted alongside external insulation, it can also improve thermal performance and help reduce heat loss, making your home more comfortable throughout the year.

Thinking about timber cladding, but not the upkeep that comes with it?

This carousel breaks down the practical differences between timber and Hardie Plank (fibre cement) so you can make a sensible choice for your home.

Why many homeowners choose Hardie Plank:
• It won’t rot, warp or swell like timber can
• Fire tested: A2 façade rating (EN 13501-1) – in plain English, it’s classed as limited combustibility
• Plenty of design choice: 21 colours, 2 textures, fitted horizontal or vertical
• It’s low maintenance, so you’re not stuck sanding and staining every few years

And just as important as the boards themselves is how they’re fitted. Before we start, we check your wall condition, set the battens correctly, and keep the right ventilation gaps so the system can perform as it should.

If you’re in Kent (or across the South East) and want honest advice on whether Hardie Plank is right for your property, we’re happy to help.

Back in the 1980's, this barn conversion was fitted with traditional timber cladding. After decades of weather exposure, the original wood had become worn, aged and in need of constant upkeep.

Our team recently removed all of the old timber and replaced it with brand new James Hardie fibre cement cladding in Arctic White.

This finish has completely changed the look of the property while giving the homeowners a long-lasting, low maintenance exterior that will stand up to the British weather for years to come.

This project is still in progress, with around three quarters of the installation now complete, but the difference already speaks for itself.

We’re looking forward to sharing the finished result very soon.

James Hardie fibre cement cladding offers:
✔ Low maintenance finish
✔ Resistance to rot, warping and cracking
✔ Excellent weather protection
✔ Modern clean appearance
✔ Long-lasting colour performance
