Fiber cement is an extremely versatile building material made of cement reinforced with cellulose fibers, sand and recycled wood. Due to its strength, durability and aesthetic advantages, it is widely used in indoor and outdoor applications across Australia. Fiber cement has good sound insulation, low maintenance costs, and can resist rot, water stains and termites.

Fiber cement boards and windshields can be used for various architectural finishes such as paint, acrylic rendering, stone and texture. Read on to learn more about the advantages of this versatile composite building material.

What is the best fiber cement cladding?

Innova has a wide range of high-quality BGC fiber cement solutions. Innova's broad product range includes multiple products for exterior walls and linings used in residential, commercial, industrial and institutional applications, including products such as Duracom, Nuline Plus, and Montage.

Duracom is ideal for creating exterior wall systems in low- and mid-rise buildings. With its smooth, flat surface and square-edged finish, Duracom provides an eye-catching modern and durable finish. 

Nuline Plus is a windshield cladding system, perfect for creating an attractive modern appearance. The style of Nuline Plus fiber cement windshield echoes with real wood.

Montage is a multifunctional fiber cement exterior wall system that can be used externally and internally. It is pre-formed, pre-processed, and non-flammable, making it a durable, safe and beautiful addition to your project.

Fiber cement does not burn, is not conducive to heat generation or fire spread, and does not emit smoke. Therefore, BGC's fire-resistant fiber cement board is suitable for buildings in areas susceptible to bush fires. 

Duracom, Nuline Plus and other Innova products comply with BAL-40 required by Australian Standard 3959-2018, making these cladding products suitable for bushfire-prone areas.

In terms of fire-resistant cladding panels and windshields, BGC's cement board products are the best. These products undergo rigorous fire tests to meet strict BCA regulations.

Fiber cement is available in a variety of shapes, contours and thicknesses, including windshields and fiber cement boards. This building material is suitable for wet areas, is biodegradable, easy to install, light in weight, resistant to impact damage when using thicker and compressed panels, and is dimensionally stable when properly completed and installed. Fiber cement provides design flexibility for frame building applications in terms of form and finish.

Tough, durable, fireproof and waterproof, fiber cement is usually chosen instead of wood and is presented on masonry, metal, ordinary cement and plaster. It can last up to 50 years, has low maintenance costs, and is less expensive than other fire-resistant coatings, which can be heavy and complicated to install. Fiber cement cladding can also better resist hail, storms, natural disasters and fires.

Customers looking for a fiber cement board supplier in Australia can trust Innova to provide the required fiber cement façade according to their exact specifications.
