Product Information

Full details

The SwissPearl Fibre Cement Cladding Plank is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a durable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber weatherboarding. These high-quality boards provide an excellent balance of fire safety, weather resistance, and thermal efficiency for exterior building projects. While these panels offer significant longevity and aesthetic versatility, they require professional installation techniques to ensure proper ventilation and panel alignment, which may increase initial project complexity compared to basic wood siding.

FAQs

How much coverage does one plank provide?

Each 180mm x 3.6m plank provides 0.54m2 of coverage, accounting for the 150mm exposed face.

Do I need to paint or seal these boards?

No, these boards are factory-finished and do not require any painting, staining, or chemical treatment.

Are they fire-resistant?

Yes, they hold a Class A2 fire rating, making them a safe choice for exterior facades.

Can I install these over old wood siding?

It is recommended to remove old siding to inspect the underlying structure and ensure a proper ventilated sub-frame is installed.

Is the material heavy to work with?

The planks are designed to be lightweight, making them much easier to manage than traditional stone or masonry cladding.

What is the warranty period?

The SwissPearl cladding is backed by a 15-year manufacturer warranty.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust after cutting

Use a vacuum-attached saw or water-fed cutting tools to suppress dust during the installation process.

Surface cracking during installation

Ensure that the sub-frame is perfectly level and that fasteners are not over-driven, which can cause tension on the board.

Moisture trapped behind boards

Verify that the rain-screen ventilation gap remains unobstructed and the drainage points at the base of the wall are clear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Requires zero preservative maintenance
  • High-level Class A2 fire protection
  • Resistant to mould and environmental decay
  • Lightweight for easier handling
  • Energy-efficient thermal properties
  • Backed by a 15-year warranty

Cons

  • Requires specific installation tools for fibre cement
  • Higher initial material cost than standard softwoods
  • Requires precise spacing for thermal expansion
  • Not intended for load-bearing structural support

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of SwissPearl cladding requires a ventilated rain-screen system to allow air circulation behind the boards, preventing moisture buildup. Planks should be secured to a timber or metal sub-frame using corrosion-resistant fasteners designed specifically for fibre cement. For cutting, use diamond-tipped blades or specialized fibre cement saws to minimize dust and ensure clean edges. While the material is maintenance-free, periodic cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap can remove surface dust or debris to keep the finish looking new. Always consult local building codes regarding fire-rated substrate requirements when installing over existing structures.
