Fibre Cement

The main fibre cement profile available is Profile 6 which is also known as ‘Big 6’.  For animal housing and other agricultural building projects, Profile 6 remains the most frequently used high strength product.  Designed for a roof pitch of 5° and over, fibre cement is also a direct replacement for asbestos sheeting.

All our fibre cement sheets come with polypropylene re-enforcement bands running within the sheet for increased strength and safety protection. In addition to the standard natural grey finish, we offer fibre cement products in a range of suitably rural colours.

Whatever your project might be, new build or refurbishment, ExcelClad offers a comprehensive range of fibre cement sheets and replacement products such as ridge capping’s, barges and accessories.  And due to our extensive stock holding, ExcelClad can turn round deliveries of complete roofing packages or replacement products in short lead times.

Fibre-cement the replacement for asbestos-cement, which is now banned by law, is a much-used product in the livestock industry on account of it’s ability to retain condensation.

In the case of fibre-cement the underside of the sheets can hold on to most of the droplets of water until the day warms up and the air currents dry them away.

Fibre-cement profiled sheeting has several key advantages over other types of roofing/cladding materials.

• Vapour permeability significantly reduces condensation.
• High level of corrosion resistance increases life expectancy.
• Excellent acoustic and thermal insulation.
• Non-combustible Class 0 material.
• Completely weatherproof.
• Maintenance-free.
