Do not use Hardie Architectural Panels in Fascia or Trim applications.
Do not install that product remains in contact with standing water.
Installed on flat vertical wall applications only.
For larger projects where the span of the wall is significant in length, the designer and/or architect should take into consideration the coefficient of thermal expansion and moisture movement of the product in their design. These values can be found in the Technical Bulletin "Expansion Characteristics of James Hardie Siding Products" at www.jameshardie.com.
