External Insulation System



E-Board is a new age multi-purpose, non-combustible Class O Fibre Cement board. It is extensively used for applications requiring a combination of moisture resistance, sound insulation and good performance in fire. E-Board is widely preferred over plywood or wood based cement particle board due to its exceptional dimensional stability, even under prolonged exposure to moisture. E-Board absorbs but does not retain moisture and regains full strength once fully dried. It can accept a host of cementitious, acrylic and silicon renders directly. E-Board can be painted/polished and is compatible to a wide range of surface finishing materials.




Typical Uses of E-Board
eboard 

E-Board provides an excellent resistance to impact damage, provides good sound insulation a non combustible fire rating and is not effected by moisture and water penetration associated with other wood based cement particle board.

It is ideal for applications requiring a combination of these properties, for example:

1. Substrate for Direct Render Systems & External Cladding : 9mm, 12mm
2. Racking Substrate Panels: 9mm, 12mm
3. Structural panels for timber, steel frame and modular build: 9mm, 12mm
4. High impact and acoustic partitions and linings: 6mm, 9mm, 12mm
5. Compatible core board for tiles, laminates, veneers, steel and aluminium: 6mm, 9mm, 12mm
6. Soffit Liners: 6mm
7. Fire-Rated Partition Systems: 9mm, 12mm
8. Acoustic Roof Systems: 9mm, 12mm, 16mm
9. Acoustic and structural flooring: 18mm, 20mm
10. Now comprising complete exterior wall system

Superior Attributes

Apart from accepting a variety of painted/polished finishes, E-Board provides an excellent compatible surface to a wide range of finishing materials i.e. renders, cementitious and acrylic, tiles, veneer, laminate and in fact any finishing option that comes to the creative mind of an architect or interior designer. The acceptance of E-Board in the highly competitive international market stands testimony to its superior attributes.

1. Moisture Resistant
2. Non Combustible
3. Asbestos Free
4. Environmentally Friendly/Non-wood based
5. Impact Resistant
6. Easy to work
7. Insect and rodent proof
8. Ready to paint
9. Fungus and bacteria proof
