Description

Barestone cladding panels are 9mm thick and square edged creating a geometric panelized aesthetic. In exterior applications the panels are held in place with exposed screws or rivets which create a look of industrial sophistication.

The mottled fibre cement texture is evident in all Barestone products. No matter what the panel combination is, it still gives walls a cohesive look.

The raw concrete look of fibre cement cladding panels have a contemporary simplicity. The material honesty resonates with architectural trends. The clean lines and minimalistic form provide a sleek and uncluttered look which can be used on external or internal walls.

Panel Width: 1200mm
Panel Length: 2400 and 3000mm
Panel Thickness: 9mm

Cemintel Barestone panels can be installed horizontally or vertically onto steel or timber stud framing or masonry/concrete using the proven and versatile NV9 Omega top hat fixing system.

The NV9 Omega system provides a versatile and durable façade which is suitable for an extensive range of building types. Panels are pre-drilled and then fixed with expressed joints to vertical metal top hats using Barestone rivets. A vertical gasket tape is placed on the top hat to provide added weather resistance, and a backing strip is used at horizontal joints to reduce water ingress.
