12mm Cement Board

12mm cement boards can accept a variety of finishes, including paints, wallpapers, and laminates, due to their smooth surface. They provide a seamless finish with most forms of decorative materials.

The weight of a 12mm cement board, measuring 1220 mm x 2440 mm, is approximately 56 to 58 kg. This weight is due to the dense composition of the board.

While they are strong, 12mm cement boards are typically used for non-load-bearing applications such as partitions and cladding. However, they can support significant weight when used as a tile backer or for other non-structural purposes.

12mm cement boards are generally non-combustible, classified as A1 or Class 0, meaning they do not contribute to the spread of fire.

Cement boards are highly durable due to their dense composition and resistance to pests and moisture. They can withstand significant impact and are suitable for high-traffic areas.

These boards are non-combustible, water-resistant, and termite-resistant. They have a high apparent density of over 1200 kg/m³ and can support loads exceeding 100 kg/m².

12mm cement boards are versatile and can be used for wall cladding, roof underlay, partitions, flooring, and both internal and external coverings. They are also suitable for wet areas and can serve as a tile backer.

The typical dimensions of a 12mm cement board are 1220 mm x 2440 mm, providing a coverage area of approximately 2.98 m². This size is standard across many brands, including Ramco and Shera.

The board is resistant to termites and mould, enhancing its longevity in various environments.

The surface density is approximately 46 kg per board, contributing to its durability and structural integrity.

The board can be easily cut, screwed, and painted, allowing flexibility in design and installation.

The board is fire-resistant and moisture-resistant, complying with safety standards and suitable for use in wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms.

Primary applications include interior and exterior wall cladding, interior partitions, and composite wall panels, suitable for both residential and commercial construction.

The 12mm Cement Board is made from cement and reinforced cellulose fibres, offering a smooth, asbestos-free, weather-proof, and impact-resistant surface.
