Why use fibre-cement?

Fibre cement is produced in a resource-saving manner, is neutral to the living environment and is recyclable.
In ventilated façades, they protect the insulating materials and thus significantly reduce the amounts of energy needed for heating or cooling buildings.

  • Fire-resistant: Cedral products are Class 0 and EN 13501-1 fire performance classified to A2-s1, d0 which is one of the best classification ratings that can be achieved.
  • Low maintenance, resistant to rot and warping: Fibre cement doesn’t rot and lasts longer than traditional cladding materials. It doesn’t contain any metals so it won’t not rust. Thanks to its thermal stability it will not warp or crack under high temperatures.​
  • Stands up to the harshest weather conditions: Fibre cement is resistant to all kinds of weather, from severe frosts and torrential rain to high heat and direct sunlight. It has a minimum life expectancy of 50 years.​
  • Light-weight building material: With the layered production and fibre matrix supporting the cement, fibre cement is thinner than concrete, but has the same performance benefits.
  • your sustainable choice: Many buildings use large amounts of high energy produced heavy materials manufactured from substantial raw materials that result in high transport costs and generate lots of waste. Fibre cement produces less raw materials, less energy and less waste.
