DuraCem

Gypsemna Duracem fibre cement board is intended for use in both exterior and interior walls and ceiling applications. In building envelopes, exterior walls and soffits are critical elements that require special attention. Most of these assemblies require the board to be fixed to the external side of the framing system, acting as a water-resistant sheathing layer and underlayment for various finishing materials. Depending on the project location, these assemblies may be exposed to wind, rain, snow, and extreme temperature conditions.
