HardieTex Blueboard is a 7.5 mm pre-primed fibre cement base sheet designed for monolithic texture-coated façades. It offers a lightweight, durable alternative to traditional masonry, with fire resistance (up to BAL29), termite and moisture resistance, and is suitable for timber or steel framing. Installers apply a third-party texture coat over reinforced joints on-site. It’s designed to reduce scaffolding and structural costs while delivering a seamless rendered finish.
