Properties of FINEX Fiber Cement Panels


Fibercement Trend

Long time considered as a structural

building material , fibercement is now

used in interior achitecture and

design. We like it for its durability,

impact and fire resistance, natural

cement grey-color

This material provides exceptional

comfort and style


� First Generation: From 1947 to 1988

� Cement and asbestos composite manufactured by Atlas Turner

� Second Generation: From 1988 to 1996

� Cement and cellulose composite manufactured by Cemfort

� Third Generation (current product): From 1996 to present time

� Cement and synthetic fibers composite property of Finex Inc.

� Panels are still manufactured with original machinery

� Projects built with first and second generation panels are still standing and good as new

• More affordable, more convenient and more durable thanfibreglass, Ducan Dek-Master / Roll Dek and Duradek

• More affordable than poured concrete (-40%)

• More durable than plywood or pressure-treated lumber

• Little or no maintenance

Decks and Balconies


1- Only install Perfectly Dry Panels

Let pallets dry for 72 hours, individual panels for 24 hours

2- Expansion JointLeave at least 1/8’’ between panels, or apply at least ¼’’ of flexible sealant

3- Pre-Drillscrew holes 1/16’’ bigger than the screw diameter

3 Key Installation Points


Working with Finex Fiber Cement Panels

1) Cutting (carbide or diamond tip blade, masonry blade)

2) Drilling (use concrete bit)

3) Countersinking (use concrete bit)

4) Screwing (3/4’’ substrate penetration)

5) Apply sealant

6) Patch screw heads

HANDLING

• Carry panels on their side, not flat • Corners are fragile before installation• Store panels flat, inside or with protection


Can be formed into tiles or stripsto fit any space.

Concrete that works like wood !


• Plan for a 1/8’’per foot slope for drainage• Fasten to straight joists, 16’’ O/C . Support along the perimeter• Use 1 ½ ’’ stainless steel screws• Screw every 12’’, ¾’’ from the edge, double joists at joints• File or rasp along the edges for a smoother finish• Over an existing concrete surface ? Yes !

Installation (Decks & Balconies)


Joints: Flexible Sealant

- Joint at least ¼’’ wide, ideally ½’’- Use bond-breaking tape to ensure sealant will only

adhere to panels, not at the bottom- Make sure surfaces are dry and clean - Do not apply under direct sun rays or if temperature

is below 4°C- Wait 5-7 days before painting

- Recommended:Sikaflex Construction Sealant , PL Polyurethant (Concrete & Masonry) or equivalent(remains flexible, can be painted)

- Does not create a watertight system

Additional info:

- Can be used on any concrete surface

- Cleaner must be diluted in water

- A container of screw finishing compound is good for 8-10 panels / covers 15 sq. ft.

- A container of anti-slip acrylic covers 160 sq. ft. (1 coat)

- A container of clear sealer covers 200 sq. ft. (2 coats)
