We had many issues with James Hardie - hardiewrap - so I'd recommend that people stay away from hardiewrap for the following reasons::

James Hardie does not specify which tapes to use or supply certified tapes
Only available in 2750mm width
Reflective side facing outside - easily damaged by careless tradespeople
Inconsistent Installation instructions - it doesn't help when the installer is unfamiliar with this product
Do not use it with brick veneer - JM did not spell out if you can use it with brick veneer
Not well-stocked - we ran out of material and had to wait for weeks for re-supply
Poor sales and technical support

Should have stick with CSR/Bradford Enviroseal ProctorWrap!!!
