Can Scyon ™ Axon™ cladding 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.
Can Scyon™ Axon™ cladding be used in a flooring application?
No. It is not recommended, as it has not been tested. We cannot advise or recommend that our customers do so.
Can Scyon™ Axon™ cladding be fixed horizontally?
No. It is not recommended, as it has not been tested. We cannot advise or recommend that our customers do so.
