Product Information

Full details

The STS NoMorePly FR Fibre Cement Construction Board is designed for professional builders, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts requiring a high-performance, fire-rated substrate for demanding construction projects. Its primary benefit is the combination of A1 fire resistance and long-term durability against moisture, rot, and impact, providing a stable foundation for flooring, tiling, and wall lining. While its robust, cement-based composition offers exceptional strength, users should note that the dense material requires specific cutting tools and professional handling during the installation process due to its weight and rigidity.

FAQs

Is this board suitable for exterior use?

Yes, the board is engineered to be resistant to rot, moisture, and pests, making it excellent for exterior applications like eaves and canopies.

Can I use this board for underfloor heating?

Its thin profile and stability make it a great choice for a substrate when installing underfloor heating, though you must follow your heating system manufacturer's guidelines regarding thermal conductivity.

What is the fire rating of this board?

The STS NoMorePly FR board is rated as A1, which is the highest level of fire resistance for building materials.

Do I need to seal the boards before tiling?

Yes, it is recommended to follow tiling best practices by priming the surface appropriately to ensure the best bond for your tile adhesive.

Can this be used on both walls and floors?

Yes, the 6mm thickness is versatile enough to serve as a durable substrate for both floor tiling and wall lining projects.

How should I store these boards before installation?

Store them flat in a dry, covered area to prevent warping or damage from moisture before they are installed.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty cutting the board cleanly

Use a diamond-tipped blade specifically designed for fibre cement to prevent chipping and ensure a smooth edge.

Excessive dust generation during cutting

Utilize a dust extraction system attached to the power tool and ensure proper ventilation or respiratory protection is used.

Fastener heads sinking too deep

Adjust the depth setting on your screw gun or use boards with a consistent torque setting to ensure fixings are flush with the surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • A1 fire rating enhances building safety compliance
  • Exceptional moisture and rot resistance for wet room longevity
  • Thin 6mm profile allows for low-profile flooring and wall solutions
  • Highly durable and impact-resistant for high-traffic zones
  • Suitable for both internal and external structural applications

Cons

  • Dense material requires specialized blades for cutting
  • Heavier than standard plasterboard, necessitating careful handling
  • Requires proper dust management during installation due to cement content

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, the boards should be installed according to the specific manufacturer guidelines for the intended application (e.g., floor or wall). Always use compatible screws or fixings recommended for fibre cement boards to prevent fastener pull-through. When cutting the 6mm panels, use a circular saw fitted with a diamond-tipped blade to ensure clean edges and minimize waste. For dust control, it is essential to use a vacuum-shrouded tool or wear appropriate respiratory protection. For care, once installed and sealed correctly, the boards require minimal maintenance; however, ensure all joints are treated with appropriate fillers or adhesives if used in a tiled environment to maintain the integrity of the surface.
