Cement Boards

What are cement boards?

Cement boards are the hidden heroes of renovation and landscaping projects. They offer unmatched longevity and versatility for many uses. Made from a mix of cement and reinforcing fibres, these boards are built to withstand tough conditions. This makes them perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Whether you’re remodeling a bathroom, building an outdoor kitchen, or decorating your landscape, cement boards are a reliable choice.

What can cement boards be used for?

Cement boards work especially well in damp areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Their moisture-resistant qualities make them ideal for tiling. They provide a strong, stable base that helps prevent water damage and mould growth.

Thanks to their strength and durability, cement boards are great for creating custom worktops, backsplashes, and even shower enclosures. They add a modern, elegant touch to any space.

Whether you’re a professional contractor or a DIY enthusiast, cement boards are a must-have for your toolkit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I cut cement boards?
Using the straightedge as a guide, gently move the utility knife across the board to ensure a precise and clean cut. The straightedge acts as a solid guide, keeping the knife from deviating off course and guaranteeing straight, equal lines. Once the initial incision has been completed, carefully turn the cement board over to the opposite side. Maintain a steady hand as you move the utility knife down the set line, making mild pressure to guarantee a clean and seamless finish.
Are cement boards fireproof?
Although cement boards are well-known for their fireproof capabilities, it is critical to confirm this attribute in the manufacturer's documentation before using them in projects containing materials that are flammable. Always confirm that the cement board you choose satisfies the manufacturer's fire safety criteria to ensure maximum safety and performance in your project.
Can you render cement boards?
Cement boards are an excellent substrate for directly applied render finishes and can be used on external walls in ventilated systems as well as exterior ceilings.
