Scyon™ Axent™ trim
What is it?

A thick and versatile trim made from Scyon™, an advanced cement composite, Scyon™ Axent™ trim is the easy way to add finishing touches that keep their finish.


Where do you use it?

Ideal for edge treatment around windows, finishing touches to internal and external corners, as a design enhancer at butt joints.


What are the key benefits?

Design options. The thickness of Axent trim helps create the impression of solidness, and the crisp, clean edges highlight openings.

 

 


Speed. The range of thicknesses and sizes means Axent trim can be used with any James Hardie cladding and any domestic window, removing the need for special window orders to match different cladding. It’s also pre-primed for fast paint application.

 

 


Low maintenance. Axent trim will maintain its integrity and general appearance significantly longer than timber. Some timber is susceptible to cracking in exterior applications which in turn can lead to shrinking or warping. Axent trim will resist shrinking, swelling and cracking * to hold paint longer than wood, and can also be painted dark as well as light colours.

 

 

 

Durability. Axent trim has a 10-year product warranty when installed and maintained correctly.

 

 

 

 

* If installed and maintained correctly.

FAQ for Scyon™ Axent™ trim

Can Scyon ™ Trim be stained?


Stains containing linseed oil are specifically designed for wood and may not be suitable for James Hardie cladding products, primed or unprimed.

Semi-transparent stains can vary in uniformity of appearance depending on method of application and conditions and will require a high level of skill and craftsmanship to achieve a uniform appearance.

Clear coats have not proven durable in exterior exposure and James Hardie considers them a maintenance item that may require application of a refurbishing sealer at regular intervals. James Hardie does not warrant the appearance or durability of semi-transparent stains and clear coats.

Does Scyon ™ Trim act as a weather tightness around windows and door openings?

No, appropriate flashing must be installed. Please refer to the appropriate external cladding technical documentation, building codes and standards for requirements.

Information is also available from BRANZ regarding good flashing practices.

Can Scyon ™ Trim be installed around my windows and door openings?

Yes, Scyon ™ Trim has been specifically designed for this application.
