Soakers for James Hardie Linea Scion 150 mm weatherboard installation

[ironbark]

Hi ,

I'm about to clad my building with JH Linea Scion 150 mm weatherboards.

I want to use the corner soakers that cover the  two adjoining weatherboards.

What size soakers are required for this size of board as I understand the top of the soaker is nailed into the timber corners above and before the next layer of boards are attached? Are these soakers a special order?

Many thanks

Hello @ironbark

According to the installation brochure for the Scyon™ Linea™ Weatherboard. If you're using the 150mm weatherboard, you'll need the same sized soaker. I've not seen the Linea Aluminium Corner Soaker for 150mm wide boards on the Bunnings website. It could be a special order product. Let me double-check for you, and as soon as I have more information, I'll post it here.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Thanks Eric, appreciate the help. If you are able to determine whether they are available at any other store in the region or if it is a special order item that would be helpful.

Many thanks👷🏠

Hi @ironbark

I've spoken to our store and James Hardie and the Jh 150mm soaker needs to be ordered from the Special Orders Desk. I've double-checked with their technical department, and they've informed me that if you are getting the 150mm weatherboard, you will need to order the 150mm soaker. My number one tip for this project is to read the installation guide. When you order the soakers, it would be the best time to order the other parts that you will need as well. It sounds like a very interesting project. Any updates you can provide would be much appreciated.
