Fibre Cement Cladding System for Long Term Facade Performance
Licata’s fibre cement cladding system offers a durable and low-maintenance solution for external walls, combining the look of natural timber with the strength of cement. The system uses fibre cement boards reinforced with cellulose fibres and fillers to deliver long-term weather resistance, even in harsh winter weather or extreme heat. This composition results in a pliable material formed through a precise production process, creating boards that resist rot, excess moisture, and dirt build-up.
As a non-combustible façade option with an A2-s1,d0 fire rating, CedraPlank ensures a high level of fire safety suitable for both residential and commercial applications. It provides consistent durability without the need for frequent painting, allowing you to maintain a fresh, modern appearance with minimal maintenance requirements.
The fibre cement cladding boards come in a comprehensive range of colours and textures, ensuring the right finish for any project. Their beautiful colours and woodgrain finish create a natural appearance that enhances visual appeal while offering the proven reliability of cement cladding.
How CedraPlank Integrates with Licata Façade Systems
The CedraPlank fibre cement boards are fully compatible with Licata façade systems, designed for simple installation and structural reliability. Each board is secured over a prepared substrate using perforated closures, battens, and the correct accessories to ensure ventilation and drainage behind the panels. This structure supports overall façade integrity and performance in various architectural styles.
The system works seamlessly with insulation and render layers, making it suitable for both new builds and refurbishment projects. Using precision-engineered components and colour matched fixings, the boards deliver a cohesive and refined finish across the exterior surface.
Whether you are specifying cement cladding for a large development or planning a single façade renovation, Licata’s professional installation support ensures each system is correctly installed and compliant with current UK regulations.
Design Flexibility for Residential and Commercial Buildings
From urban apartments to commercial façades, the fibre cement cladding range offers exceptional design flexibility. Available in woodgrain effect or smooth texture options, it provides an ideal match for various architectural styles. Architects appreciate the ability to create distinctive façades using light grey, slate, or pastel blue boards, allowing for modern, timeless design schemes.
These cladding materials are lightweight yet extremely durable, making them easier to handle and install using simple tools such as a wet saw. The boards are designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions, ensuring lasting performance and long-term aesthetic stability without the need for regular repainting or protection against rain and smoke exposure.
Fire Safety, Durability, and Low Maintenance Benefits
A key strength of Licata’s fibre cement cladding system is its combination of fire resistance, durability, and low maintenance design. As a non-combustible solution with proven fire safety credentials, it offers reassurance for projects that prioritise compliance and occupant protection.
Unlike traditional timber cladding, CedraPlank does not require frequent painting and is resistant to rot and excess moisture. This means no costly repainting cycles or premature deterioration. The cement and cellulose fillers used in production provide long-term strength, while the boards maintain their finish through years of exposure to other materials and environmental challenges.
With its cost effective, visually consistent surface and resistance to cracking, CedraPlank remains a trusted choice for architects, builders, and developers seeking a durable, weatherboard cladding system that performs across all environments.
