WORK INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to Recommended Safe Working Practices before starting any cutting or machining of product.

Score and Snap
Score and Snap is a fast and
efficient method of cutting
James Hardie products using
James Hardie's special tungsten
tipped HardieFlex ® Scoring Knife .
Preferably score on the face side
of the product. Score against a
straight edge and repeat the
action to obtain adequate depth
for clean break - normally 1/3 of
sheet thickness. Snap upwards
to achieve break. Smooth any
rough edges with a rasp.
Hand Guillotine
Make guillotine cut on the
off-cut side of line to allow for
the thickness of the blade.
Fibreshear
An electrically powered, fast,
clean and effortless way of
cutting James Hardie building
products, especially around
curves such as archways. Make
Fibreshear cut on the "off-cut"
side of the line to allow for the
thickness of the shear.
HardieBlade TM Saw Blade
The HardieBlade TM Saw Blade
used with a dust-reducing saw
and HEPA vacuum extraction
allows for fast, clean cutting of
James Hardie fibre cement
products. A dust-reducing saw
uses a dust deflector or a dust
collector connected to a
vacuum system. When sawing,
clamp a straight-edge to the
sheet as a guide and run the
saw base plate along the
straight edge when making the
cut.
Hole-Forming
For smooth clean cut circular
holes:
• Mark the centre of the hole on
the sheet.
• Pre-drill a ‘pilot’ hole.
• Using the pilot hole as a guide,
cut the hole to the appropriate
diameter with a hole saw fitted
to a heavy duty electric drill.
For irregular holes:
• Small rectangular or circular
holes can be cut by drilling a
series of small holes around the
perimeter of the hole then
tapping out the waste piece
from the sheet face.
• Tap carefully to avoid damage
to sheets, ensuring that the
sheet edges are properly
supported.

framing. The framing used must comply with the
relevant building regulations and standards and the
requirements of this manual.
NOTE: Ensure all sheet edges are fully supported
with framing members.
TIMBER
Use only seasoned (kiln dried) timber. Unseasoned
timber must not be used, as it is prone to shrinkage
and can cause the sheets and frames to move. The
minimum stud width at joints is 38mm.
STEEL
The size of the steel stud framing should be 0.55mm
- 1.6mm base metal thickness (BMT). Steel sections
should be galvanized or zincalume. Frame members
must not be less than 38mm wide.
PREPARATION OF FRAME
Ensure that the frame is square and straight, and
work from a central datum line. Frames must be
straight to provide a flush face to receive the
sheeting. A suggested maximum tolerance of
between 3mm and 4mm in any 3m length of frame
will give best results. HardieFlex ® fiber cement
boards will not straighten excessively warped or
distorted frames and any warping may still be visible
after the internal lining is applied. Recommended
maximum frame spacing is given in Table 1.
Figure 1 Frame Layout
WINDOW AND DOOR OPENINGS
In normal situations, the end joints should not
coincide with corners of doors or window openings.
Ensure sheet edges do not coincide with the side of
the door or window opening by a minimum distance
of 200mm. Refer to Figure 2. Where end joints
occur, they should be fully supported by framing and
coincide with the centerline of a stud, nogging or
plate. This is to ensure sufficient edge clearance for
nailing or screwing of adjoining sheets along the
sheet edges. Where walls are clad on both sides
with HardieFlex ® cement boards, ensure that sheet
joints are staggered across the wall. All construction
must be carried out in accordance with the relevant
building regulations and standards. Steel studs
must be firmly secured to top and bottom plates,
and frames must be rigid and not rely on the
HardieFlex ® cement boards to provide bracing.

GLANCING LIGHT
In some instances, due to glancing light, set
joints may be noticeable in HardieFlex ® Walls,
especially where paint finishes have a high
gloss level. Work closely with your builder or
designer to minimize this. Artificial lighting
needs to be considered in relation to walls (e.g.
down-lights in ceilings above set joints in
walls). Wall joints should run in the direction of
the lightsource (at right angles to windows).
Where glancing light is an issue, its effect can
be lessened by:
• The use of curtains or blinds
• Artificial light shading devices
• Use of light colored, matt finish paints
PAINT FINISHES
Prior to application of paint finishes, remove
any residual sanding dust and ensure the
surface is suitable for paint application.

Gloss paints are not recommended. Economy
paints are not recommended because
generally they are less well bound, less
moisture resistant, and more prone to mold
growth. Damp, shady situations, agriculture
or sea spray environments may induce an
extra tendency for mold growth. Use mold
inhibiting and alkaline resistant undercoats
and consult the paint manufacturer for
maximum mold resistant paints. Always
follow the paint manufacturer’s
recommendation for paint suitability, mixing
and application.
NOTE
Use of a ‘sealer coat’ or ‘preparation

the two coats of acrylic/latex paint.
TILED FINISH
The thickness of tiles used is restricted based
on the thickness of the sheet on Table 6.
