Product Information

Full details

It provides exceptional structural stability and an A1 non-combustible fire rating, making it perfectly suited for fire-sensitive areas like stove installations; however, due to its density and 12mm thickness, users should be prepared for significant weight when handling and cutting the boards.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this board suitable for use behind a wood-burning stove?

Yes, its A1 fire rating makes it an excellent choice for use as a stove backboard or hearth substrate.

Can these boards be used externally?

Yes, the board is engineered for both internal and external applications, including cladding.

Do I need special screws to fix the board?

Yes, it is recommended to use screws specifically designed for fibre cement boards to ensure a secure fit and avoid damage.

What is the weight of one board?

Due to its high density and composition, the 12mm board is heavy; it is advised to use two people for safe lifting and handling.

Is the board affected by damp or water?

The board is highly resistant to moisture, rot, and mould, making it ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and external walls.

Can I paint directly onto the board?

While it is render-ready, if you intend to paint, ensure you use a suitable primer compatible with fibre cement to ensure proper adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty cutting the board cleanly

Use a dedicated fibre cement circular saw blade and ensure a vacuum system is attached to control dust.

Board cracking during screw installation

Ensure you are using the correct screws for fibre cement and pre-drill pilot holes if working near the board edges.

Render failing to adhere

Ensure the board surface is completely free of dust and debris before applying your specific manufacturer-recommended primer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • A1 fire-rated and completely non-combustible
  • Excellent resistance to moisture, rot, and mould
  • Provides significant sound insulation benefits
  • Compatible with a wide range of UK rendering systems
  • Environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable

Cons

  • Heavy weight requires at least two-person handling
  • Requires specialized cutting tools for fibre cement
  • Higher initial cost compared to standard plasterboard

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the supporting frame is level and structurally sound. Use corrosion-resistant screws suitable for fibre cement boards, ensuring they are slightly countersunk. When cutting, always use a dust-extraction-equipped saw with a diamond-tipped blade to manage the silica dust generated during the process. For rendering, ensure the boards are clean and free of dust before applying the primer and render base coat. Maintenance is minimal; keep the boards clean and inspect joints periodically to ensure the integrity of the sealant or render, especially in exterior exposed locations.
