Description
A light-weight Score'N'Snap cement board which combines the speed and ease of use of gypsum boards but which meets the durability and water resistance of cement boards. The board is reinforced on both sides with embedded glass fibre.
It can be installed horizontally or vertically onto steel or wood framing. The Score’N’Snap feature makes the board very easy to cut to size, and it is fixed to the frame using Cortex 0290 Board Screws. All joints and screw heads are sealed using Cortex 0280 Board Sealant for EI60 compliance. For additional weathertightness performance the Cortex 0814 Board Jointing Tape should be applied over the joint sealant.
Features and benefits:
- Water and mould resistant.
- Weatherproof and highly durable.
- Easy to cut, handle and install.
- Class A1 according to EN 13501-1.
- Does not rot.
