James Hardie Axon™ cladding on the upper-level facade, paired with NewTechWood Castellation Cladding in Cedar around the garage door and lower feature facade. The set-out keeps the vertical grooves, castellation lines, openings and shadow gaps aligned.
A closer view of NewTechWood Castellation Cladding in Cedar, used where the facade needs depth, repeat lines and a timber-look finish without reading like ordinary flat sheet cladding.
Large window openings need the surrounding cladding to be measured, set out and finished cleanly so the margins read straight from the street.
Black batten screening set against fibre cement panel cladding, with spacing carried evenly across the opening and junctions kept sharp.
James Hardie Axon™ Cladding gives vertical groove lines over the recycled brick base, useful for gables and upper-storey sections where clean modern lines matter.
James Hardie Oblique™ Cladding installed above recycled brick, giving the darker facade sections strong vertical shadow lines and a more architectural upper-storey finish.
Cemintel BareStone® is a bare-look fibre cement express-joint cladding. The visible fixings, panel margins and joint layout need to be intentional so the concrete-style finish reads premium.
A close-up of James Hardie Axon™ vertical groove cladding, showing the straight grooves, clean paint finish and black window framing that makes the facade read crisp.
James Hardie Matrix™ Cladding used for angled window surrounds and panel margins, creating a modern expressed-joint look with clean reveals around glazing.

03 — Systems
James Hardie cladding systems
Product choice affects the look of the whole facade. CLADSMAN installs the main James Hardie fibre cement profiles used on Melbourne homes, townhouses and builder projects, with the set-out, trim lines and junctions planned before the first sheet goes up.
Vertical groove panel cladding
Axon suits clean vertical lines, feature walls, gables and modern upper-storey facades where the groove spacing needs to run straight across the elevation.
Explore Axon installationWide board, deep shadow line
Stria gives a strong horizontal board look with a deep grooved joint, useful for contemporary weatherboard-style facades and feature sections.
Expressed-joint panels
Matrix is used for geometric panel layouts, with square or rectangular panels and visible expressed joints that need accurate alignment.
Explore Matrix installationWeatherboard profile
Linea weatherboard creates deep shadow lines for classic or coastal-style exteriors while still using fibre cement durability.

06 — FAQ
Straight answers
Do you install James Hardie cladding?
Yes — James Hardie fibre cement systems are core work for us, including Axon vertically grooved panels, Stria cladding boards, Matrix expressed-joint panels and Linea weatherboards.
Do you supply cladding without installation?
No — CLADSMAN is focused on installation work. We can work with specified materials, builder-supplied products or an agreed supply-and-install scope, but we are not a supply-only cladding shop.
Do you do house recladding?
Yes. We strip, prepare and reclad existing homes across Melbourne and Victoria — a full exterior update, not a patch job.
Do you work with builders and developers?
Yes — a large part of our work is subcontract cladding for builders and developers on townhouse and multi-unit projects. We hold programs and communicate properly.
Do you install internal cladding?
Yes, where the project calls for it — internal linings and feature cladding alongside the external scope.
Can I send plans or photos for a quote?
Please do — it's the fastest way to an accurate price. Use the quote form, email info@cladsman.com or WhatsApp them straight through.
Do you service all of Melbourne and Victoria?
We're Melbourne based and work across the metro area, and travel for the right projects across Victoria. Ask — worst case we'll tell you straight.
