12.5mm Siniat Weather Defence 2G External Sheathing Board Square Edge 1200x2400mm

Weather Defence is a revolutionary new external sheathing board, faced with water repellent material for superior weather protection.

Features:

• A glass fibre mat faced, gypsum based board for use externally as a sheathing board.
• Strong, highly moisture resistant, non-combustible and has improved workability compared to traditional sheathing board products.
• Dimensionally stable, reliable airtightness.
• Quick and easy to cut and install saving time and reducing installed cost - With cement particle board, if you make a mistake, you have to start again from scratch. There’s no margin for error. But with GTEC Weather Defence, the cut was incredibly clean, you don’t need power tools, and you can install the board with two men instead of three because of its lower weight.
• Water, weather and mould resistant, can now be left installed and exposed for up to 12 months on site before you need to complete the final cladding.
• No need for cutting area, power tools or dust extractor.
• Can eliminate the need for breathable membrane saving time and reducing installed cost.
• Double BBA certified.
• Fully A1 non-combustible, compliant for structures above 18mtr.
