James Hardie Artisan Fiber Cement Siding, 10.25 in. x 12 ft., Primed for Paint (Shiplap or Square Channel)
The 10.25 in. Artisan board is James Hardie's thick-profile fiber cement siding from the Artisan Architectural Collection, milled 5/8 in. thick with James Hardie's lock joint system for a fast, concealed-fastener install. It's available in two profiles: Shiplap, a flat reveal with a crisp horizontal line, and Square Channel, a deeper recessed groove for a more pronounced shadow line.
Both profiles run 9 in. of exposure per board, come primed and ready for field paint, and install vertically, horizontally, or as a soffit board. Boards ship 12 ft. long, 105 per lift.
Primed for Paint only. Neither profile is available in a factory ColorPlus finish. Contact us to request a ColorPlus quote if you'd like a factory-finished color option.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Shiplap and Square Channel?
Shiplap has a flat, crisp reveal between boards. Square Channel is milled with a deeper recessed groove for a more pronounced shadow line. Both are the same 10.25 in. board, same price.
Can this be installed horizontally like regular lap siding?
Yes. Both profiles are rated for vertical, horizontal or soffit installation with the same lock joint system.
Does it come pre-finished?
No, it's primed for paint only on this supplier's price list. It needs a field-applied topcoat after install.
What nails do I need?
On 16 in. o.c. wood framing, an 8d ring-shank siding nail (0.092 in. x 2-1/2 in.), face-nailed. On 24 in. o.c., a 6d siding nail (0.092 in. x 2 in.), blind-nailed. Always corrosion-resistant, never electroplated.
How much wall does one board cover?
About 9 sq. ft. per 12 ft. board at the 9 in. exposure this profile is milled for.
How many boards come on a lift?
105 pieces per lift from this supplier, for either profile.
