Combining a modern, expressed joint aesthetic with a fast and economical top hat installation system, James Hardy ExpressWall™ is an ideal facade solution for commercial and industrial applications.
James Hardy Express Panel’s™ provide architects and designers with a high level of creative freedom. They can be arranged in a variety of patterns and are pre-sealed to accept a wide range of decorative finishes.
James Hardy ExpressWall™ utilises a top hat fixing system, ensuring both an easy to install and highly durable solution. Vertical top hats have two fixing points for stability and create a structurally sound facade that can even withstand cyclonic conditions. Highly durable, self-adhesive gaskets are easily attached to the top hat prior to installation, reducing installation time. The gasket seals vertical and horizontal joints, reducing the requirement for sealant and accommodating building movement.
The panels are manufactured from 9mm compressed fibre cement, providing a long lasting solution.
