Saint-Gobain Gyproc Aquaroc Cement Board

It is manufactured from Portland cement, calcium sulphate dihydrate, expanded perlite and other additives. The board is waterproof, mould- and mildew-resistant, and has ultra-low moisture absorption to protect fixtures and reduce water-related damage in wet environments.

The board comes in a large format of 12 X 1200 X 2400 mm. This size enables quicker coverage on walls and floors and provides a smooth surface that facilitates tile and mosaic adhesion.

Yes. Aquaroc Cement Board is described as versatile for both walls and floors, making it suitable for tiling projects in bathrooms, kitchens, and other tiled areas.

Prepare the substrate to be clean, flat, and free of contaminants. Cut the board to size as needed, secure with appropriate fasteners designed for cement boards, and use compatible tile adhesives and waterproofing products on joints and edges to ensure a durable, waterproof tiled surface.

Wear appropriate PPE when cutting (dust mask, eye protection, gloves). Work in a well-ventilated area and follow local disposal guidelines for cement-based materials. Handle boards carefully to avoid splinters and sharp edges.

Yes. Its waterproof properties and mould/mildew resistance make it well-suited for showers, toilets, kitchens, and other tiling projects in wet areas.

Aquaroc is designed to be lightweight with a large-format panel and strong moisture resistance, making it competitive for wet-area tiling. Other cement boards on Fepy may emphasize different attributes (e.g., thickness, weight, acoustic performance, or fire rating). Review each product’s specifications to determine which best fits your project needs.

Bathrooms and wet rooms for wall tiling, shower enclosures, kitchens with splash zones, and tiled floor areas where a durable, moisture-resistant substrate is beneficial.

Ensure joints and edges are properly sealed and waterproofed as required by the tile adhesive and membrane system used. Clean the tiled surface with mild cleaners and inspect for any signs of moisture ingress over time, re-sealing as recommended by tile and waterproofing product guidelines.

Aquaroc provides a robust, moisture-resistant surface that supports reliable tile adhesion in wet areas, with large-format panels that speed up installation. Its environmental notes—being plastic-free and recyclable—can also be factors in projects prioritizing sustainability.
