HardieGuillotine™
This custom-designed manual tool cuts HardiePlank® siding quickly and accurately every time with no breaking, chipping or sawdust. Similar to a laminate floor guillotine in design, the cutting movement is stiffly controlled to enable safe, precise cutting and trimming.
HardieBacker® Score-and-snap-knife
Designed with contractors and home owners in mind this simple yet effective hand tool is perfect for accurate straight cuts on all James Hardie® cement boards up to 12mm thick. It’s thick, sturdy handle, and a long-lasting blade with tungsten carbide tips produces a V-cut so that upward pressure on the board allows you to easily snap it along the cut
HardieBlade® circular saw
Specially designed to reduce dust levels, the diamond tipped teeth increase blade life and ensure a clean cut every time. Using continuous disk or wood blades causes excessive levels of dust, very fast blade wear, and is not recommended. HardieBlade® circular saw blade is available in 160mm, 190mm, 254mm and 305mm diameters, to fit most mains electric and battery powered circular saws.
Touch-up paint
An alkaline-resistant acrylic paint, colour-matched to the James Hardie ColorPlus® range is recommended for painting of exposed edges and cut ends of HardiePlank®, HardiePanel® & HardieFlex™ siding products to ensure long-lasting performance of the façade. It provides excellent coverage in a single layer and dries quickly, saving precious building time. Touch-up paint is available in 1 litre cans.
James Hardie® screws
A range of purpose-made fixings for James Hardie® siding products and backerboards.
