As the functionality and design of cladding—which completes the look of a timber-frame house—increasingly serve as key selection criteria, the reinforced fiber cement siding 'Scyon' is drawing attention.
Developed by James Hardie, a world-leading cladding company, the reinforced fiber cement siding 'Scyon' overcomes the drawbacks of timber cladding, such as discoloration and durability issues. It is characterized by a clean, modern design that lasts over time and by easy installation.
Scyon 'Stria' siding is connected in a horizontal channel format and features a modern design that remains unchanged over the years. Stria siding can be used on part or all of an exterior wall, and when combined with other James Hardie products, it can create a variety of styles and designs. It can also be used on interior walls. Enabling easy and fast installation with 4.2 m horizontal siding, Stria siding is a lightweight yet highly durable cladding that brings together Scyon's technology. It not only offers high resistance to termites, corrosion, and fire, but can also be installed with a nail gun and cut as easily as timber.
In particular, Stria siding can maintain its appearance longer than timber siding. Timber siding cracks easily and can shrink or expand. As a reinforced fiber cement siding, Stria siding has high moisture resistance and strong durability. It holds its paint finish longer than timber siding and can be painted in dark colors as well as light ones. The product measures 14×325×4200 mm and weighs 17.3 kg/㎡. A single board covers an area of 1.26 ㎡.
Scyon 'Axon' siding, the industry's first dedicated to vertical patterns, is a cladding well suited to creating a modern-design house exterior, thanks to the sharp impression its uniform vertical pattern provides.
Connected in a channel format, Axon siding comes primed so that painting can be carried out right away, and it is released in sizes that match standard walls, minimizing material waste. Whether you choose the smooth finish or the woodgrain finish, you can achieve the sharp, uniform impression created by the vertical grooves, and because it can be installed with thin nails, nail marks on the surface are minimized. It measures 9×1200×2750 mm and weighs 44 kg/㎡. A single board covers 3.3 ㎡.
