Hardie trims come in all the standard widths, 4 inch, 6 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch, and 12 inch. James Hardie trim come in 12 foot lengths and in rough sawn profile or smooth. The width is a 5/4 width. James hardie has its own fastener system, where the installer uses clips stapled on the back of the trim and then the tabs are nailed to the wall. When the installer uses this method of attaching James Hardie Trims there is very few nail holes exposed. One of the drawbacks is that the James Hardie trims just come in 10 different colors. (Arctic White, Cobblestone, Iron Grey, Midnight Black, Khaki Brown, Monterey taupe, Timber Bark, Navajo Beige, Woodstock Brown, Sail Cloth) So if you wanted a different color we would have to have it painted for you.
