Application

Suitable for following applications:

  • Sheathing board on metal and timber frame.
  • Acoustic roofing and flooring.
  • High impact partitioning.
  • Shuttering.
  • OEM Application where improved strengths and density are required.


RCM Cemboard can be cut, drilled and nailed using conventional hand tools; offering many of the properties of timber.


For cutting the product in any volume, we recommend the use of an RCM poly crystalline diamond Dart Blade to avoid excessive wear on other blades. Alternatively, RCM offer a complete fabrication service, please contact our technical department for details.

Description

Rigid, medium density, high performance wood/ cement particle bonded sheathing board which combines the strength and durability of a concrete product with the workability of timber.


An excellent sheathing and acoustic building board, the product can be used as an outer sheathing board onto metal or timber frame structures, behind the outer cladding finish. They are manufactured from chemically treated rubber wood chips mixed with Portland cement.


Fully tested to BS EN 634-1 and BS EN 434 2 and meets the correct pull-out and performance levels to carry EWI and rainscreen systems. Conforms to BS EN 13986, BS EN 89/106/EC and BS EN 594.


Fire rated to EN 13501-1 class B-s1, d0. Cemboard can be used behind all types of facade solutions, as well as in many acoustic floor and roof constructions.
