Permabase Cement Board
Flawless strength. Every time.
The PERMABASE Cement Board is a rigid substrate made of Portland cement, aggregate and glass mesh that provides an exceptionally hard, durable surface that is able to withstand prolonged exposure to moisture. Double-wrapped edge with EdgeTech technology allows for closer fastener application of nails or screws at the edge without crumbling or spin out. Homogeneous core has fewer voids and provides a very easy and clean score and snap. PERMABASE is impact resistant, extremely durable and dimensionally stable. It has excellent overall flexural, compressive and tensile strength characteristics.
Application
- Exterior application: substrate for facade linings; substrate for stone and clinker casings; substrate for outdoor floor coatings; building a substrate for outdoor workspaces
- Interior application: walls of shower cabins and lining of bathtubs, external lining for jacuzzi, wall linings in steam baths and saunas, perfect base for floorings in all rooms of the house
Advantages
- Homogeneous core for easier and more precise cutting with a utility knife
- Easy and quick installation – no special tools are required;
- Extremely resistant to weather conditions – rain, snow, low and high temperatures
- High levels of moisture resistance – prolonged contact with water does not destroy them or make them swell
- Suitable base for different types of ceramic coatings
