Bare look fibre cement express joint cladding
Barestone Original Cladding
Key Features
Barestone Original Cladding combines the natural beauty of concrete with the durability of fibre cement, making it perfect for modern and industrial designs. Barestone Original Cladding has a blend of warm greys and light greys. The dark valleys of the modern express joints juxtapose these light colours. This helps the geometric shapes created by the joints dominate the aesthetic.
This versatile cladding enhances both facades and interior feature walls, with the express joints providing clean lines and dynamic patterns. Panels can be oriented vertically or horizontally and arranged in various layouts like Linear, Grid, or Random.
Barestone’s warm tones pair effortlessly with other materials, especially timber accents like Territory Woodlands Teak. Available in three products—two exterior with Ceminseal and one interior with stain resistance—each panel is unique, offering natural variation in colour and pattern that adds character.

Technical Information
Barestone Original Cladding Installation
Barestone™ panels are installed as a Pressure Equalised Ventilated Cavity System using the NV9 Omega top hat fixing method. This system is suitable for both residential and commercial buildings, providing durability, weather resistance, and a clean expressed-joint aesthetic.
Key Installation Elements:
- Top Hats & Centre Trims: Aluminium NV9 Omega top hats and trims support panels at vertical joints, with gasket tape applied to improve moisture management.
- Panel Fixing: Panels are pre-drilled and fixed to the top hats using Barestone™ rivets. The rivet’s rubber sleeve allows slight movement, reducing stress on the panel.
- Backing Strips: Horizontal joints incorporate backing strips to deflect water and maintain the expressed joint appearance.
- Wall Wrap & Air Barrier: A drained cavity system is used, with building wrap or rigid air barrier installed behind panels to manage condensation and incidental moisture.
- Penetrations: Cut oversize (8–10mm clearance) and fully seal with approved sealant to maintain weather performance.
- Pre-Installation Checklist: Ensure framing is plumb, bracing is in place, ground clearance is adequate, and flashings/air barriers are correctly installed before fixing panels.
