Board and lining systems
Fibre Cement Boards
Board products for compatible framed partitions, linings and project-specific construction build-ups.
Fibre cement boards are sheet materials used as part of a designed build-up. Board thickness alone does not define the finished wall. The frame spacing, fasteners, joints, layers, insulation, exposure, movement and decorative finish should be selected as one compatible system.
Available routes
Options and enquiry scope
The final selection depends on verified product availability and the approved project detail.
- Internal lining enquiries
- Framed partition build-ups
- Service-area and ceiling applications where specified
- Single- or multi-layer systems subject to design
Why projects consider it
- Sheet format integrates with framed construction
- Services and insulation can be coordinated in cavities
- Layered build-ups allow project-specific design
- Dry installation can suit interior programmes

Selection guidance
Inputs that change the recommendation
- Board type and exposure class
- Frame material and spacing
- Impact, fire and acoustic requirements
- Joint and edge detail
- Final coating and maintenance access
Project considerations
- Board alone is not a complete wall system
- Wrong fasteners or joint materials can cause defects
- External use needs a verified complete detail
- Cutting dust and handling need safe methods
Technical verification
Specification status
Values requiring evidence remain visibly marked until a current manufacturer document for the exact product is supplied.
| Item | Current guidance | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Board thickness | Technical values vary by product, thickness and manufacturer. Confirm the current manufacturer datasheet before specification or purchase. | Verify source |
| Frame spacing | Confirm against complete tested or approved build-up | Verify source |
| Fasteners and joints | Use compatible system accessories | Verify source |
| Exposure | Verify exact board and coating system | Verify source |

Technical note
Why Panel Thickness Is Not the Only Selection Factor
Thickness matters, but exposure, supports, openings, services and verified performance criteria usually decide the wall build-up.

Fibre Cement Boards FAQ
Which wall-panel thickness should I use?
Thickness depends on whether the wall is internal or external, its height, openings, supporting frame and the acoustic, fire and service requirements set by the project team.
Can wall panels be used externally?
Only a product approved for the exposure, support and finishing detail should be selected. Confirm the manufacturer detail and the architect or engineer's requirements.
Can panels be installed on rooftops?
Potentially, but a structural engineer must verify the existing building, loads, anchoring, wind exposure and supporting frame before work starts.
How is the final price calculated?
A quotation considers material, thickness, measured quantity, transport, unloading, floor level, framing, openings, access, labour, joint treatment, finishing scope and tax.
Does the quotation include transport?
Transport is confirmed explicitly in the written quotation because destination, load size, vehicle and unloading arrangements vary.
Does installation include framework?
Not automatically. Framework, structural supports and related engineering are included only when listed in the quotation scope.
Does installation include painting?
Painting, putty, primer and final decoration are exclusions unless the quotation includes them clearly.
Is a site visit required?
Simple supply enquiries may be priced from reliable drawings and quantities. Installation, unusual access or complex openings often benefit from a site inspection.
