James Hardie 8.5mm EasyLap Fibre Cement Panel

James Hardie 8.5mm EasyLap Fibre Cement Panel

EasyLap™ Panel is a pre-primed fibre cement sheet with a shiplap joint along its two vertical edges. Lightweight yet durable, EasyLap™ Panel is an easy to install, cost-effective broadwall cladding solution. Panels are finished with a site-applied, roll-on textured acrylic paint to achieve a subtle rendered texture look.

EasyLap™ Panel can also be used as a substrate for an external tiled wall application. It has strong hanging power for tiles, capable of holding up to 50kg of tiles per square metre. The shiplap join makes it easier to install a level substrate for tiling. It also helps to reduce the risk of differential movement that can result in grout cracks. It is available in multiple sizes, including 3600mm lengths ideal for tall, continuous feature walls.

EasyLap™ Panel is designed for use in residential single and medium-density buildings, including alterations and additions, where a uniform broad wall cladding is required. Panels are suitable for use on either timber or light gauge steel framed homes.
