Hardie Axon cavity battens

Hi,


Im looking to using hardie board axon cladding and just looking for confirmation on using timber battens for it. The information I’ve found is battens need to be 35x70mm and up to 1200mm centres so I wouldn’t need to batten every stud which will be 450mm centres.

 

Is this correct or can the batten sizes be smaller? Also can I join the cladding on joins that don’t land on a batten or do they need to land on a batten to properly secure the cladding?

 

Thanks
