Hardie™ Oblique™ Cladding

A fresh slant on modern home design.

Product Details

Evoke a bold, contemporary aesthetic with the wide grooves and bespoke design flexibility of Hardie™ Oblique™ Cladding. Square and angled edges cast shadows that bring rhythm and depth to walls. Defined by its bold proportions, this cladding enables the creation of standout, one-of-a-kind facades. The only Hardie™ exterior cladding with a slanted groove edge, delivering highlights and shadows that shift throughout the day.

Available in 200mm and 300mm widths, these 14mm thick shiplap boards offer multiple installation options and allow for simple alternation or unique combinations. The horizontal Hardie™ Castellated Battens simplify vertical installation, allowing ventilation and drainage through the cavity. The 2750mm boards suit common wall heights to help to reduce waste, while the 4200mm lengths give tall walls a continuous look, reducing the need for horizontal joints. The boards are pre-primed and ready to paint.

Made with Hardie™ premium fibre cement it will stay looking good. It’s resistant to damage from termites, rot and moisture, and engineered to stand up to coastal and other harsh conditions.

Best for Hardie Oblique Cladding

  • Contemporary facades that rely on shifting light and shadow
  • Designs needing a wide-groove, architectural cladding profile
  • Projects where pre-primed boards support faster paint finishing
  • Coastal or harsh-condition builds where fibre cement durability matters
  • Feature elevations combining mixed materials and textures
  • Vertical or horizontal layouts with bespoke pattern options

 Selecting the best type


 Choose board width for the shadow line “beat”

  • Choose the narrower width for a tighter rhythm and a more detailed façade.
  • Choose the wider width for bolder proportions and fewer vertical elements.
  • Mix widths when the design calls for a custom pattern.

Choose a length to reduce horizontal joints

  • Use longer board lengths for tall walls to reduce joins and maintain uninterrupted lines.
