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.
Used by architects, national house builders, homeowners and contractors Supertech Weatherboard is factory finished and provides substantial design opportunities.
Supertech Weatherboard comes in two standard board sizes 190mm and 230mm. These sizes offer a greater coverage than any similar product on the market, representing a significant cost saving in time and reduced wastage.
A1 Fire Classification BS EN 13501-1: 2018.

Made from reinforced cellulose fibre cement, Supertech Weatherboard has high levels of impact resistance, excellent weathering properties and outstanding levels of durability. It is a façade which will withstand the demanding test of time.
