Cement board and fibre-cement products: reading the label

Start with the exact product identity rather than a broad material description. Confirm the intended location and finish in the current guide, then compare the complete installation requirements so similarly named sheets are not treated as interchangeable.

Define the selection

Confirm the application using the current manufacturer documentation. Keep the lining, framing, accessories and intended finish together in the specification so the material schedule can be checked as a whole.

Check before comparing products

• Exact product and nominated application.
• Sheet dimensions and supporting substrate.
• Jointing, fixings and finish system.

Build a material list that can be checked

Record the selected product name or SKU, each required size and the quantity for each work area. Use the actual listed coverage when estimating packs or boards, and confirm the allowance with your installer. Include compatible accessories and keep a copy of the agreed selections.
