With increased resistance to indentation and penetration, FIBEROCK Aqua-Tough interior panels outperform speciality plasterboard and fibre cement panels. They are suitable for use on walls, ceilings, and exterior dry soffit applications, offering abuse-, moisture-, mould-, and fire-resistance. These high-performance panels derive both strength and water resistance from their uniform composition. As a result, they won’t lose their strength when cut. And they are ideal for wet areas, because their panel surface will not delaminate when wet. They provide a smooth, paintable surface that can also be finished with ceramic tile. One type of panel can be used for an entire room, simplifying design and installation, shortening job schedules and lowering in-place costs. They are made from 95-percent recycled materials, an environmentally friendly option for use in sustainable building construction.
