Is your cladding ready to paint?

We conducted an exterior test to compare the moisture content of different James Hardie Linea weatherboard samples, both uncoated and coated, after a weekend of rain.

Save time by being able to get painting earlier – by having your cladding factory precoated before it’s delivered to site.

Test Results

Uncoated Samples

22.6% moisture content

Coated Samples

11.5% moisture content

Key Takeaways

  • Current Weather: It’s sunny outside, but that doesn’t always mean it’s okay to paint.
  • Ideal Moisture Level for Painting:
    • Your substrate should have a moisture content of 15% or below.
    • This threshold may vary slightly with different substrates.
  • Potential Issues:
    • If moisture content is above 15%, you may face adhesion and drying problems.
    • Paint may not dry or stick properly if the substrate is too moist.
