James Hardie’s advanced Scyon™ technology has enabled creation of a new composite material and a growing range of new, feature-packed, design-smart building products.

The new Scyon™ building material composite is a re-engineered concrete formulation - and a sophisticated alternative to timber, stone and brick. With more to be released in 2007, the Scyon™ range includes:

• Scyon™ Matrix™ cladding – the commercial look of geometric panels designed to meet residential requirements. Matrix™ panels are available in three sizes for design flexibility and work with Scyon™ Cavity Trim for a revolutionary, simple fixing system (no top hats, etc.). Can achieve an R value over 3.4*.
• Scyon™ Axon™ cladding – is unique in having the aesthetic appeal of sleek vertical grooving to deliver more design options, while still being low maintenance. Easy to install. Can achieve an R value over 2.7*.

• Scyon™ Linea™ cladding – provides distinctive and deep horizontal shadow lines with smooth, seamless styling. Solid and thickest in its class yet easily workable. Can achieve an R value of over 2.8*.
• Scyon™ Trim – for durable edges, finishings and cavity construction**.
• Scyon™ Interior Wet Area Flooring – thick, astoundingly durable and easily workable sheeting with phenomenal moisture resistance.

All Scyon™ products are strong, durable, lowmaintenance, easily installed, have low embodied energy and are environmentally responsible.
