A single facet autoclaved cellulose fibre reinforced cement plank, Supertech Weatherboard is lightweight, requires little maintenance, is rot free, can be used in the same way as wood and allows you to create truly stunning facades.

Offering two ranges of finishes, natural timber effect stained and natural timber effect painted, Supertech offers an attractive alternative to traditional timber boarding and plastic effect PVCu cladding. Supertech Weatherboard can be installed either horizontally in a traditional lapped style (most popular way) or vertically in a lapped, undulated or flat way.

We offer small minimum quantities and short lead times as standard.
