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 OBEX CORTEX 0290FR Board Screws. All joints and screw heads are sealed using OBEX CORTEX 0280FR Board Sealant for EI60 compliance. For additional weathertightness performance the OBEX 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.
