12mm Cempanel Cembrit Cement Particle Board

Cempanel is produced by mixing fine wood particle, Portland cement and mineralising agents. The fresh boards are kept in the maturing store and passed through the conditioning chamber to bring them to equilibrium moisture content. Cempanel is one of the most durable building boards. It combines the strength of cement with the flexibility of wood. The combination of chips and cement creates a board that is stronger but lighter than plasterboard and is arguably less likely to be damaged on site.

Cempanel cement particle board comprises wood particles and cement to create a low cost lining board for exterior and interior cladding and lining, or even for partitioning. It is used as the internal skin of the external wall in rainscreen cladding systems.

• Insects will not attack Cempanel because the wood particles are immersed in cement.
• Fungi cultures do not develop on it because of its alkaline nature (PH Value=12).
• Thanks to its heat insulation properties Cempanel helps saving energy bill for both heated and air-conditioned area.
• Most conventional woodworking tools and procedures can be applied when working on this board that provides an excellent ecofriendly substitute for natural wood
• Cempanel can be decorated on or off site

Cempanel provides a certified fire resistance: it is classified as Class O material passing the 1 hour and 2 hours fire rating test according to BS 476 Part 6, 7 and 22.
