When it comes to commercial buildings like stores and shopping centres, designers and architects are looking for construction materials that can help create an environment that is both comfortable and aesthetically attractive to visitors and shoppers. With global supply shortages and shipping delays, builders are forced to look for alternative solutions in order to complete projects in a timely manner.

KalsiFloor is the perfect replacement for H3.2 ply floor, combining durability and low maintenance along with other key benefits. While heavier than its ply floor counterpart, KalsiFloor is still easy to install and work with, improving the speed of construction and performance for light commercial and residential floors. This cement board can be directly finished with carpet or vinyl but also ceramic tiles without needing a ceramic tile underlay. It is a dimensionally stable product suitable for intermediate flooring, commercial cladding or an alternate to the very hard to source 19mm treated ply floor.

KalsiFloor is a fast, clean and durable flooring solution with the feel of concrete that is not only impact-resistant and non-combustible but also moist, mould and water-resistant. The fibre cement board is also resistant to the attack of termites, insects and other vermin. KalsiFloor is sure to withstand the heavy wear-and-tear of commercial building foot traffic.

As the New Zealand distributor of Kalsi products, IBS (Independent Building Supplies) is not only offering an alternative to conventional plywood but also a range of fibre cement boards suitable for any type of building construction. All products are tested and approved for use in accordance with the New Zealand Building Code, assuring suitability and performance. KalsiFloor is available now in 2400 x 1200 x 20mm and 1800 x 1200 x 20mm square edge, with stock ready for immediate delivery.
