Fibre Cement Cladding

Fibre cement cladding is crafted using a combination of cement, cellulose, sand, synthetic fibres and water, offering a long-lasting and durable cladding board which lasts for many years. It is often used on buildings where a contemporary look is desired and is one of the most practical solutions for building facades.

These boards are manufactured using advanced technology to ensure the chemically bonded boards should withstand a range of impacts and come with a 10-year guarantee, subject to our terms and conditions.

There are many benefits of using fibre cement boards on your project. One of the greatest advantages is their superb weather resistance; the boards will absorb and release moisture without impacting durability. They also will not rot over time when exposed to rain.

Other Benefits of Cement Board Cladding

• Easy to install: These boards can be installed vertically or horizontally, with a 30mm overlap on each board.
• Low maintenance: No need to sand or varnish the boards – they are already created with top level durability.
• UV resistant – Boards will not fade when exposed to intense sunlight.
• Wide range of colours available – The vibrant colour palate ensures you choose a colour which suits your project.

All are available in a range of RAL colours to match your project. The cement fibre boards will require perforated closures and the correct length screws (45mm).

Please consult the installation guide for further details.  Each board covers 0.65m², with a 30mm overlap per board. 

Understanding Fibre Cement Cladding:

Fibre cement cladding is a material composed of cement, cellulose fibres and other additives. Combining these components offers a durable, weather-resistant product with exceptional longevity.

The unique manufacturing process involves autoclaving, which enhances the material's strength and dimensional stability, making it ideal for exterior applications.

Key Benefits of Fibre Cement Cladding:

• Durability and Weather Resistance: Fibre cement cladding boasts impressive durability, capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions, including rain, wind, and UV rays.
• Low Maintenance: One of the significant advantages of fibre cement cladding is its minimal maintenance requirements. Unlike traditional materials such as timber, fibre cement cladding does not require frequent painting, staining, or sealing. Routine cleaning is sufficient to keep it looking pristine for years, making it a cost-effective, time-saving choice for long-term building projects.
• Versatility in Design: With fibre cement cladding, design possibilities are limitless. Available in a wide range of textures, colours, and finishes, this cladding material can effortlessly complement various architectural styles, from modern and contemporary to traditional developments. Whether you seek a smooth, sleek appearance or a textured, rustic facade, fibre cement cladding can adapt to your vision.
• Eco-Friendly Choice: Fibre cement cladding embodies eco-consciousness, as it incorporates recycled materials and sustainable sourcing practices. The manufacturing process is energy-efficient, reducing the overall carbon footprint and contributing to a greener construction industry.

Applications of Fibre Cement Cladding

Exterior cladding: Fibre cement cladding's primary application lies in exterior siding for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Its ability to withstand the elements, along with its design versatility, makes it an excellent choice for enhancing the aesthetics and protection of facades.

Internal wall cladding: While renowned for its exterior applications, cement board cladding is also suitable for internal wall cladding. It adds character and texture to interior spaces, creating a seamless transition from the exterior design elements.

Soffits and eaves: Fibre cement cladding serves as an effective solution for soffits and eaves, providing a durable and visually appealing finish while safeguarding the building's structural components.

Installation and Maintenance Tips:

Professional Installation: To ensure optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to have fibre cement cladding installed by experienced professionals. Proper installation techniques, including appropriate fastening and gap spacing, are essential for the cladding's effectiveness.

Routine Cleaning: Maintenance of these boards is straightforward. Regular cleaning using mild detergents and warm water is all that's required to remove dirt and grime and maintain its visual appeal.
