Cedral slates and sidings are made of durable fibre-cement. This unique composite material is resistant to water and rot, frost and heat, rust and corrosion, UV rays and fire, mould and pests, creating the ultimate protection for your home for years on end. But it is also easy to install and maintain. You don’t have to worry at any time, just enjoy the looks.
High-performance fibre cement
Fibre cement is composed of naturally available materials such as sand, water and cement, like concrete. However, the added fibres – wood cellulose and synthetic fibres – give this product its additional strength and versatility. That explains why the Cedral slates and weatherboards can be so thin and lightweight, yet extra strong.
This environmentally-friendly composite material has stone-like qualities. Thanks to its extreme dimensional stability, fibre-cement sidings and slates don't budge when temperature changes, unlike PVC or wood. A Cedral facade and roof protects your home effectively against the elements such as rain, wind, frost and heat, keeping you cosy inside.
Standing the test of time
Fibre cement is a robust, durable material. Its mineral composition is** impervious to rust, rot, mould and bacteria** and the rock-solid material effectively withstands all kinds of pests, such as rodents and insects. This gives Cedral slates and facade cladding a life expectancy that easily exceeds 50 years, making it a robust lasting solution for your home.
Because of its resistance against rot and rodents, fibre cement is the perfect alternative to traditional timber. The Cedral facade planks even come in a timber finish, making them look and feel exactly like wood, however they don’t need to be repainted or stained every few years to keep their protective qualities.
Looks that kill and stay
Cedral slates and sidings come in many colours, shapes and finishes, so that you can create the style you want . The colours are factory-applied in the material itself, meaning that little chips or scratches won’t create any blemishes on your ‘killer facade or roof’. What’s more, the colours are UV resistant so that they adorn your home for decades with minimal fading.
Your Cedral facade and roof will also be easy to maintain. As mentioned before, fibre cement doesn’t give rot, rust, corrosion, mould or pests any chance. So the only thing you need to do when dust or dirt settles on the Cedral slates or sidings, is to give it a wipe with soap and water to revive the splendour of your home.
