You don’t want your creativity to be restricted by boundaries. You don’t want to be told ‘it can’t be done’, and you don’t want to compromise great aesthetics for compliance.

So when you know that Linea Weatherboard’s 90-minute fire resistance rating means you can specify it within one metre of a boundary fence, there’s one less boundary to worry about.  You’re free to do what you were hired to do: deliver a design that maximises your clients’ site and changes their lives.

The following construction method must be used to achieve a 90 minute fire rating:

• Use James Hardie mineral insulation 90mm
• Replace the building paper with James Hardie RABTM Board
• Use 16mm Gib Fyreline® lining one side fixed to GBTL 90
• 16mm thick James Hardie Linea Weatherboard fixed externally

James Hardie fire rated systems using Linea Weatherboard are also suitable for use on walls close to boundaries where Table 7.5 of C/AS1 is applicable.
