joining fibre cement sheeting

[Christalaura]

Hi,

Can I join fibre cement sheeting with fibreglass joiner tape and joint compound? Or do I need to use a thin-set cement?

I do not want to use the Dunlop cement joiner as it has terrible reviews and is very expensive.

Thank you for your time.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Christalaura. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about joining cement sheet.

Could you please tell us what type of cement sheeting it is? Is it Villaboard or Hardiflex? Villaboard is set with joint tape and James Hardie Compound Base Coat 4kg Tub. Hardieflex is typically joined with Brutus 4.5mm x 3m Building Moulding Maxi Cover.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
