Unipan

UNIPAN fiber reinforced lightweight cement boards

are construction boards made of a core of portland

cement with added inerts, reinforced both sides with a

special fi berglass mesh.

They provide an acceptionally hard and durable

surface that is able to withstand prolongued exposure

to water and moisture.

The double wrapped edge with edgetech technology

allows for closer fastener application of nails or screws

at the edge without crumbling or spinout.

APPLICATIONS

The boards are ideal for both interior and exterior

applications for the construction of :

• partition walls,

• drywall linings

• fl oor underlayment

• suspended ceilings

Unaffected by water, hence their high durability in

humidity saturated enviroments, such as:

• bathrooms,

• showers,

• kitchens,

• laundry rooms,

• outdoor enviroments

The main applications are contructions of:

• external claddings,

• exterior walls,

• roofi ng,

• pipes and chimneys covering,

• external fences

• skirting boards

• agricultural buildings

• garages

• backer boards

The boards offer a smooth and strong support for the

laying of ceramic tiles, glass and ceramic mosaics,

bricks and stone materials.

They can be treated with a fi nishing compound:

Unijoint, to obtain a smooth surface ready for painting.

Unipan reinforced cement boards are suitable for

applications on timber studs or metal studs positioned

at 400 mm, in new constructions and renovations.

LIMITATION

• Unipan boards can withstand evenly distributed

loads, positive and negative, up to 360 kg/sqm

• Unipan boards are water resistant but not

waterproof, therefore, if necessary, you need to

install a waterproof membrane.

• Maximum distance between studs: 400 mm.

• The main structure must be designed to limit

defl ection to less than L/360 under all live and dead

loads.

• Maximum distance between the screws: 200 mm,

for both timber and metal structures.

• Maximum load for suspended ceilings 50 kg

• The metallic structure should be protected against

corrosion.

• In case of timber studs, the boards’ minimum

supporting surface is 70 mm ( normally 70x 30 mm

is enough for external claddings ).

• Do not use standard screws or nails for

plasterboards.

• Use only alkali resistant tape.

• Do not use 8 mm. thick unipan boards in a single

layer for applications on walls and ceilings
