Construction Board – Cement Particle – Wet Areas

Product Overview

This 12mm high-density construction board, measuring 1200mm x 800mm, is the ideal choice for wet areas, structural lining, and tile-backing installations. Its cementitious fibre composition ensures exceptional dimensional stability, moisture resistance, and mechanical strength compared to traditional plasterboard systems. The robust blend of cement, mineral fillers, and cellulose fibres provides a substrate that is both impact-resistant and non-degradable, even in humid conditions. The board's smooth, factory-finished surface is ready for direct tiling, finishing, or decorative coatings. Its 12mm thickness enhances rigidity and load-bearing strength, making it suitable for walls, ceilings, and flooring applications requiring a strong, durable substrate.

Features & Benefits
