Cedral fibre cement cladding offers long-term durability, low maintenance and proven fire performance, helping housing providers create attractive, resilient homes.
The innovations in fibre cement technology are creating high performing materials which are lighter, thinner and ultimately stronger.
Fibre cement which is made of cement, water, cellulose, textile fibres and air can help improve circularity and carbonation impact. A versatile and sustainable material, it uses fewer raw materials and less energy in its manufacture and produces less waste than some traditional building materials.
Cedral is committed to continuously improving existing materials and to driving innovation. Whether it’s for a new build or a renovation project, Cedral has a range of products for facades and roofs of exceptional quality and high performance.
Features of Cedral include:
- Fire Performance Classification: Cedral products are Class 0 and EN 13501-1 fire performance classified to A2-s1, d0 which is one of the best classification ratings that can be achieved.
- Low maintenance, resistant to rot and warping: Fibre cement doesn’t rot or rust and lasts longer than traditional cladding materials. Thanks to its thermal stability it will not warp or crack under high temperatures.
- Stands up to the harshest weather conditions: Fibre cement can withstand severe frosts, torrential rain, high heat and direct sunlight and has a minimum life expectancy of 50 years.
- Light-weight building material: With the layered production and fibre matrix supporting the cement, fibre cement roof tiles are thinner than concrete, but have the same performance benefits.
- Style and creativity for a home’s exterior: Cedral cladding is available in a colour palette of 21 factory-applied shades, with a choice of wood effect or smooth finishes. The planks can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
- Ease of installation: Cedral planks are easy to cut, there’s no need to predrill and there’s a comprehensive range of matching trims. Cedral roof slates are available pre-holed and consistent in terms of quality and size.
- CCPI accreditation: Cedral Sidings have been CCPI assessed and certified.
