James Hardie is a global leader in cement-fiber technology, developing materials that combine the durability of mineral components with the aesthetics of natural textures for more than a century. The company operates 19 manufacturing plants and three R&D centers, providing solutions for residential and commercial construction on several continents.

In Europe, its strength is based on the integration of two brands, James Hardie®, which specializes in autoclaved boards and facade panels, and fermacell®, a manufacturer of gypsum-fiber boards and drywall systems. The merger follows the acquisition of fermacell GmbH in 2018, creating a comprehensive offering for wood, energy-efficient and prefabricated construction. In Poland, the company operates as James Hardie Europe GmbH (Ltd.) Warsaw Branch.

James Hardie® facades - aesthetics and durability in one

James Hardie® facade products offer designers and contractors unlimited possibilities for facade creation, combined with exceptional durability and minimal maintenance requirements. The composition, based on natural components: Portland cement, ground sand, cellulose fibers and selected additives, provides:

  • A2 fire reaction class,
  • resistance to moisture, mold and pests,
  • dimensional stability up to three times that of wood.

ColourPlus™ technology guarantees long-lasting color resistance to UV radiation, allowing the facade to maintain its intensity for years without repainting.

Hardie® Panel - contemporary minimalism

The flagship Hardie® Panel is a large-format panel available in 21 colors, valued in modern architecture where repetition, precision and visual purity of detail are important.

Hardie® Architectural Panel - an award-winning innovation

Honored with the iF Design Award 2024, Hardie® Architectural Panel offers textures:

  • Smooth Sand,
  • Brushed Concrete,
  • Metallics,which enable the creation of facades with distinctive character inspired by mineral plaster, brushed concrete and metallic finishes. The system comes with a 15-year warranty.

Hardie® Plank - a classic with a modern twist

Hardie® Plank is a plank with the appearance of natural wood, available in more than 20 colors. The solution is particularly appreciated in single-family housing and renovations, where classics combined with resistance and stability for years are important.

fermacell® - intelligent drywall systems

The second pillar of the range is fermacell® gypsum-fiber boards, which, thanks to their homogeneous structure without paper facing, are characterized by:

  • high impact resistance (Brinell hardness of 30 N/mm²),
  • excellent acoustics (parameters up to Rw = 74 dB),
  • factory water repellency,
  • density of 1150 kg/m³,
  • A2-class non-flammability.

These panels are ideal for use in buildings with higher fire and acoustic requirements - schools, offices, hospitals, as well as in wooden structures.

fermacell® Therm 25™ - a revolution in renovations

An innovative addition to the product family is Therm25™, a 35 mm thick dry underfloor heating system that:

  • requires no screed,
  • enables floor installation after 24 hours,
  • is ideal for attics and lightweight ceilings.

It is a solution highly valued in retrofits, where the most important thing is the speed of the work and little interference with the structure.
