General Purpose Boards

Bluclad

Bluclad is the first breakthrough asbestos-free board technology classified as Calcium Silicate board. BluClad is a flat Class O building board with outstanding dimensional stability. Represents good value for money.

It can be used as substrate for a variety of thin coat polymeric renders, textured finishes and other surface coatings. Bluclad can also be used to provide a seamless finish.

Bluclad is available in a standard 10mm thickness, it is off white in colour and has a smooth surface on the front and textured on the reverse.

The smooth face is for painting and the textured is for thin coat polymeric renders.

Recommended Applications

Can also be used within an insulated render system.

Fixing

BluClad can be installed using either countersunk screws (number 6 - 8) or nails (5mm minimum head diameter).

BluClad should be fixed to support studs at maximum 600mm centres. BluClad can be finished with this thin coat polymeric renders or other surface coating.

Finishing

Where seamless finishes are required, boards should be installed "stretch bond" fashion, i.e. long edges horizontal and vertical edges staggered.

Note: BluClad must be decorated for external use.

Cutting

BluClad is easy to cut on site with standard woodworking tools.
