James Hardie showcased the expanding portfolio of products at The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) International Builders' Show® in February in anticipation of the April launch and continues to lead with innovation and personalized design for exterior solutions, with a focus on driving demand and preference with homeowners.

Hardie® Architectural Panel

Hardie® Architectural Panel & Hardie™ Architectural Metal Trim is a panel product system offering contemporary design solutions to fit any style. The panels offer nature-inspired, non-wood look textures that provide a solution to elevate the traditional look of stucco and help a project stand out.

Hardie® Architectural Panel & Hardie™ Architectural Metal Trim has previously only been available to order in specific regions. Hardie® Architectural Panel offers a variety of textures to suit different design preferences. Choose from several stucco- and nature-inspired textures that can be paired with other Hardie® products for a mixed materials appearance that elevates the traditional look of stucco, giving your exterior a fresh perspective.

The Fine Sand panel features an even texture with a consistent finish, providing a smooth and uniform appearance. In contrast, the Mounded Sand panel has a rough texture with a varied finish, offering a more rugged and natural look. Lastly, the Sea Grass panel showcases a gentle, linear pattern with a dynamic finish.

Architectural Panels can be oriented vertically or horizontally for additional design flexibility, and the varied textures help hide finishing nails for a clean and crisp look. Furthermore, the integrated panel and trim system assists with water management, helping to protect your siding and home from the elements.
