1 Applicationandscope

1.1 APPLICATIONThis James Hardie junction booklet provides the most common junction details between different James Hardie cladding products and other cladding products.These junction details have been developed based on the current knowledge and considering the current construction practices being followed in the industry. These details have been carefully developed to minimise the moisture ingress through these junctions. The performance of these junctions rely on the workmanship of persons installing the products.While every care has been taken in detailing these junctions, still the designers, specifiers or installers should ensure that the selected details are suitable for the project they are working on.When using a James Hardie cladding product, refer to the relevant James Hardie product literature for further information regarding installation, product sizes, accessories and warranty information. Fixings, flashings and other components used must meet the durability requirements of Clause B2 of the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC). The construction method to be selected should be as per the relevant product literature.

Note: The junction flashings shown in the details are available through your local building merchants.

SpecifierIf you are a specifier or other responsible party for a project, ensure that the details in this document are appropriate for the application you are planning and that you undertake specific design to develop the details for junctions which are not covered in this manual.

InstallerIf you are an installer ensure that the flashings with at least minimum sizes as specified in these details are used.

Make sure your information is up to dateWhen specifying or installing James Hardie products, ensure you have the current product manual. If you are not sure you do, or you need more information, visit www.jameshardie.co.nz or Ask James Hardie™ on 0800 808 868.

WE VALUE YOUR FEEDBACKTo continue with the development of our products and systems, we value your input. Please send any suggestions, including your name, contact details, and relevant sketches to:

Ask James Hardie™ [email protected]

1.2 SCOPEThis cladding junction detail manual is only developed for the projects which fall within the scope of buildings covered under NZS 3604 and E2/AS1.

1.3 RESPONSIBILITYThe specifier/designer or the other party responsible for the project is responsible for ensuring that the information and details included in this manual are suitable for the intended application.This junction booklet must be used in conjunction with the relevant product technical specification or installation manual.
