Hicem Fibre Cement Boards
Ramco Hicem Fibre Cement Boards
Hicem Fibre cement boards are crafted from cement, cellulose fibers, and special performance-enhancing additives. These boards are manufactured to exacting standards using a laminar process and then undergo autoclaving to attain a stable crystalline structure. This unique structure lends the board exceptional durability and dimensional stability, even in challenging environments. Moreover, Hicem fibre cement boards possess excellent acoustic and thermal insulation properties, making them a versatile solution for a variety of applications.
Sheathing Boards and External Rendering
Our Fibre Cement boards offer a high degree of flexibility and durability, making them an excellent choice for multi-use applications. With a rough and smooth side, these boards are versatile and perfect for external rendering, as the rough side acts as a reliable rain screen.
For external walls, the Hicem Fibre Cement Board can serve as both a structural and non-structural component, providing exceptional protection against water and wind penetration. These boards are suitable for both residential and commercial constructions and are commonly used in wall, floor, and roof assemblies. They are equally effective as both interior and exterior wall boards and can be decorated with a wide range of finishes such as paints, wall papers, laminates, veneers, and ceramic tiles.
Hicem fibre cement boards are compatible with a range of building materials, including galvanized steel and anodized aluminium. They offer a seamless finish when installed and have a superior off-white texture that is suitable for all types of finishes.
Outstanding material Properties
Our Fibre Cement boards boast an exceptional Fire Resistance A1 rating and are non-combustible, as per BS: 476: Part-4-1970. Hicem fibre cement boards are designed to be non-ignitable, conforming to BS: 476: Part-5-1979, and have achieved a "Best in Class" rating for Fire propagation index. Additionally, they conform to BS: 476: Part-7-1997, which indicates that they do not allow the spread of flame.
Our fibre cement boards are also highly resistant to water, with no propensity for mould growth or insect infestations. With a "K" thermal value, they offer excellent thermal insulation, making a significant contribution to energy savings. Moreover, they are entirely asbestos-free, ensuring the safety of all occupants and construction workers.
