Material Use

Fibre cement – which is manufactured using sand, cement and cellulose (wood) fibre – is used in a number of cladding applications in domestic buildings. The most common exterior uses are as stucco plaster substrate, cladding sheets, cladding planks, weatherboards and pre-finished soffit lining.

Fibre-cement is also designed for internal use as a rebated edge sheet for flush stopping and finishing, typically with ceramic tiles and as square-edged sheet for use over an existing floor as a tiling underlay.
