MASTERCLAD® - Introduction email   home
 

MASTERCLAD® by Intumex is a versatile building board of semi compressed calcium silicate. It is reinforced with selected fibres and fillers to resist high impact and weather damage.  Unlike many air cured cement products, moisture or condensation will not dissolve out soluble materials and cause unsightly marks or efflorescence when MASTERCLAD® is used in damp or exterior areas.  The board is formulated without asbestos or other inorganic fibres. MASTERCLAD® is light grey in colour and has a smooth surface on both sides. It can be left undecorated or it can be decorated with paint finishes.

 

 

Alkali resisting primers are not required. MASTERCLAD® is watertight in accordance with the criteria of BS 4624: 1981 and is fully weather resistant. It is a material of limited combustibility and can be used in external wall constructions providing a fire resistance of up to 60 minutes. Its performance will not degrade with age. MASTERCLAD® is tough, durable, and is able to withstand damage from impact. Mount boards using nails or screws through holes pre-drilled 1.5mm oversize, not less than 12mm from the edge of the board. Corner fixings should not be less than 12mm from one edge, and not less than 35mm from the other edge.
