Specification of robust pre-cladding systems is critical in order to keep moisture out and keep projects moving no matter the weather. Fibre Cement Solutions offers a highly durable solution for residential and commercial projects alike with their ETERPAN Medium Density (MD) Fibre Cement Board.

ETERPAN MD Fibre Cement Board for Rigid Wall Underlay is an airtight, fire-resistant medium density fibre cement sheet that acts as a moisture vapour barrier to keep wall cavities dry. By enabling downward flow of moisture, ETERPAN prevents any potential damage to the framing and insulation components.

A highly durable non-combustible rigid wall underlay

ETERPAN MD Fibre Cement Board is manufactured using Flow On technology — an innovative method where flurry is poured into a mould to create stronger, more hardwearing boards. This high level of durability ensures the boards stand up to wear and tear on site during construction, and offer long-lasting protection from moisture. In addition, the non-combustible composition of the boards ensures trusted fire protection.

Suitable for up to 90 days exposure

When used as a rigid wall underlay, ETERPAN MD can be left exposed for up to 90 days before cladding is installed. With the building structure protected, this brings flexibility to construction programmes, giving builders time to get ahead on other elements of the build.

Declare Red List Free

Composed of Portland cement, cellulose fibres, sand and water, ETERPAN MD is Declare Red List Free. Containing no VOCs, it is an environmentally-friendly option ideal for building healthy homes.
