Cedral — Fibre Cement
Description

An ideal alternative to traditional cladding material, Cedral is easy to maintain, resistant to rot and offers two stylish solutions. Cedral is a high-quality and durable composite material produced using natural raw materials: cement, water, and cellulose fibres. These fibre cement planks create a beautiful contemporary look that will last a lifetime.

Being a sustainable material, Cedral is ideal for new builds and renovation projects. Thanks to the multilayer fibre structure, the fibre cement planks combine the durability of stone with the design flexibility of wood.
