Fiber Cement Board Exterior Cladding Systems
Engineered facade panels combining durability, weather resistance, and design flexibility. Ideal for ventilated rainscreen systems.
Key Advantages:
1.Weather Resistance
Rainscreen design prevents moisture buildup
Hydrophobic coatings (water absorption ≤10%)
Suitable for coastal/humid climates
2.Fire Safety
Class A non-combustible (ASTM E136 / EN 13501-1)
Cement matrix delays fire spread
3.Design Versatility
Mimics wood/stone/metal textures
Custom colors & curved facades (min. radius: 12m)
4.Sustainability
20–30% energy loss reduction with insulation
Recycled materials, zero VOC emissions
5.Installation Efficiency
Lightweight (10–24 kg/m²)
Compatible with metal/wood substructures
