Looks like wood but without the rot and fire risk

Cembrit Plank is the ideal alternative to timber weatherboarding but does not require preservative treatment and is not susceptible to fire. Smooth or textured options give you the choice of a surface finish together with a colour to make your projects almost unique. It can be installed like timber weatherboard products. Cembrit Plank comes in 14 standard and 5 made to order factory painted surfaces, as well as a ready-primed option for onsite finishing. The typical long service life of fibre cement gives maximum resistance to exterior exposure that is backed by a Cembrit 15-year warranty – the highest warranty in the market. Plank can be installed vertically, horizontally or in other patterns to enhance your design.

Installation Instructions

Cembrit Alu Profiles is developed for an unobtrusive appearance around doors, windows, corners and other trim work. It comes in different colours to complement your choice of facade appearance.

22x50mm steel start/end profile for panels and planks.

Cembrit Ventilation Profile To keep a well-ventilated area behind Cembrit products, use a ventilation profile for allowing air to pass from bottom to top of the cladding, whilst preventing insects, vermin and the build-up of debris

25x48mm aluminium start profile for planks.

Cembrit Plank/Start Ventilation Profile To maintain the correct distance outwards, the first plank should be 10mm below the profile. The bottom plank is mounted a minimum of 150mm from the terrain, and 50mm from roofing, balconies and other horizontal structures. We recommend painting the rear of the bottom plank, if distance is less than 150mm from terrain.
