Deemed Non-combustible
Key Features
Low Maintenance
CeramaPANEL is a very low maintenance product, with no ongoing painting or sealing required.
Easily cut and installed onsite
CeramaPANEL is easily cut to size and installed onsite minimising lengthy lead time between site measure, production and delivery of pre-finished panels.
Environmentally friendly
CeramaPANEL panels are installed on a ventilated sub-construction system allowing for the building envelope to breathe which increases thermal and energy efficiency and promotes healthier buildings.
robust durability
CeramaPANEL panels are an exceptionally durable panel making it impact resistant. Even in the most demanding applications and harsh environments CeramaPANEL has a life expectancy exceeding 50 years.
cost effective
CeramaPANEL allows installers to provide a rapid and cost effective installation. With our unique self-drilling screw fix system, there is no need to predrill the top hats before installation.
Through coloured material
CeramaPANEL Raw, Hewn, Groove, Infuse and Depth are all through-coloured fibre cement material that offers elegant shades of natural colour.

why ventilated facades
Ventilated Facade systems also known as double-skin facades or rain-screens, greatly assist in protecting buildings against wind, rain and temperature variations and keeping the building dry and energy efficient.
A ventilated facade system consists of two layers of different facades separated by an air cavity which prevents rainwater from penetrating and diffuses water vapour from the inside. While the external cladding protects from rain and wind, the air cavity plays a major role in the ventilated facade system. A naturally ventilated facade results in a temperature difference between the face of the cladding panel and the air cavity behind. This in turn creates a variation in air density causing air to flow upwards within the cavity resulting in a chimney effect. The airflow transports heat from the cavity out through openings at the top of the wall, reducing humidity and increasing the efficiency of insulation.
Benefits of ventilated facades
Thermal
Significant reductions in HVAC reliance through:
- A reduction in the amount of heat the building absorbs in hot weather conditions from the partial reflection of solar radiation by the outside facade, and the naturally ventilated air cavity.
- In cold weather conditions ventilated walls retain heat, resulting in a lower reliance on heating. HVAC electricity consumption typically accounts for around 40% of total building consumption.
Acoustic
Ventilated facade systems provide an increase in the reflection of external noise, with some projects achieving an average reduction of up to 8dB. With the primary external noise sources affecting buildings being road traffic noise, a reduction of this level can greatly improve occupant comfort.
Structural
Ventilated facades don’t suffer from mould, fungi and rot, making them extremely durable and virtually maintenance free. The natural bottom-to-top airflow through the cavity assists in eliminating moisture accumulation on the facades, helping to prolong the structural integrity and ultimately the lifespan of a building.
