Renderflex cellulose fibre cement render carrier board

Renderflex, a fibre-cement board for use internally as a wall liner and tilebacker board on non-loadbearing and loadbearing timber- and steel-frame substrate walls in new and existing domestic and non-domestic buildings, subject to height restrictions.

Cellulose/ fibre cement building board, specifically designed as a carrier board for polymer modified render systems where no insulation is applied to the board prior to rendering, for new timber frame rendered facades. For projects where insulation is applied first, RCM Cemboard, Multipurpose, Y-Wall or CEM+ are suitable alternatives.

Designed to achieve a strong key between polymer basecoats/ topcoats and the Renderflex. CE marked and conforms to BS EN 12467.
