James Hardie Oblique Cladding 14mm is a fibre cement external cladding board. Fibre cement holds its shape through Melbourne's wet winters and dry summers far better than timber boards of the same profile — it does not swell, cup or split, and it will not feed termites. It carries a BAL40 bushfire rating when installed as part of a compliant system.
Why fibre cement
The board arrives straight and stays straight, so the reveal lines stay consistent across a long elevation. It takes paint well and, once sealed and coated, the maintenance cycle is repainting rather than replacing.

Questions we get asked about Oblique cladding
Can Oblique cladding be used in a bushfire zone?
James Hardie publishes Oblique as suitable up to BAL-40 when installed to its guide, with the non-combustible fibre cement substrate doing the work. Confirm the detail with your assessor and use the specified flashings.
Which way do the boards run?
Oblique is a vertical board with a sloped face, so it is usually fixed vertically over horizontal battens. It can be laid horizontally for a different shadow pattern; the guide covers both.
Does it need painting?
Yes. Boards come primed and take two coats of exterior acrylic. Paint the cut edges before fixing.
