Cementious boarding / cladding

[crankedup]

Has anyone had experience of this type of product(cementious boarding/cladding)not the old 1950's stuff but the ultra modern alternative to the Upvc cladding. Comments please.

We fit quite a lot. Marley Cedral or Hardieplank being preferred. Make sure you get all the right components with it. Cedral Click is my favourite for installation, but is non lap finish. Cut with a diamond tile blade in a minigrinder, it will blunt a normal saw in one cut. Pre drill holes for exposed fixings too, or the coating will chip.

Another thumbs up for Marley Cedral here.

I'm about to use a lot of Marley Cedral on my development, it had nicer colours and looked to be a slightly better system than the Hardy one.

Thanks for replies and advise, I'm looking at a new build / refurb' where this cladding has been used to good effect. Even the roof on the original section of the building has been clad with the boarding. Any downsides?

Its a Victorian mission Hall originally, the roof was corrugated steel panels now replaced with look-a-like cemetious boards. Well at least that is what the estate agent told me when I enquired!

If you go to Rightmove and tap in location 'Pettaugh' you will see the converted property for sale at just over 300k.

That's cement sheet, probably Asbestos.
