18mm Versapanel T&G Cement Bonded Particle Board - 1200mm x 600mm
18mm Versapanel is a durable and flexible 1200x600mm T&G cement bonded particle board that meets the requirements of moisture tolerance and fire resistance. This board is manufactured from wood particles and cement and has no asbestos or any other hazardous volatiles. Versapanel has a smooth grey surface and is available in two basic finishes: unsanded - suitable for many decorative finishes and calibrated - sanded on both sides. The panel is easy to use and can be nailed, screwed, drilled, routed, sanded, planed or sawn. Versapanel can be used above 18 metres because of its higher mechanical strength and without the need for additional and often expensive specialist fixings. Versapanel delivers exceptional performance in the presence of moisture as cut edges do not require sealing to prevent degradation. Due to relative high density, Versapanel provides a high mass exterior lining to optimise acoustic performance of the building envelope.
