Fibre Cement Cladding Features & Benefits 

Combining the stunning appearance of timber with the durability of cement building products, SwissPearl fibre cement cladding is a long-lasting alternative to traditional timber cladding. Fibre cement cladding is resistant to rot, mould, and pests, and is not susceptible to fire risk either. It also requires very little maintenance; the boards do not require sanding, painting, or finishing.

  • Long-lasting SwissPearl cladding lasts far longer than traditional timber – the boards are supplied with a 15-year guarantee!
  • Moisture-resistant Both sides of fibre cement board cladding are coated with multiple layers of primer to keep moisture out, preventing rot.
  • Natural appearance Fibre cement wall cladding is indiscernible from timber cladding – the woodgrain finish gives a classic feel to any property!
  • Variety of applications SwissPearl fibre cladding can be fixed in a range of different configurations, including both horizontal and vertical.

Fibre Cement Cladding Technical Specification

SwissPearl fibre cement cladding boards are manufactured using a combination of: cement made with iron, clay, and limestone; sand, which gives the boards their weather-resistant properties; cellulose fibres, which gives the boards their durability; and water, to bind everything together. This combination of materials makes fibre cement wall cladding unbeatably robust and long-lasting, much more so than timber alternatives.  

Fibre cement cladding is supplied with an A2-s1, d0 Fire Protection Class, which means that it is completely non-combustible. 

The cladding boards are supplied in 3.6m lengths of 8mm thickness and 180mm width. 


Fibre Cement Cladding Further Information

Fibre cladding is supplied with a 15-year guarantee, so you can rest assured that it will last in great condition for years to come!

What is SwissPearl cladding made from?

SwissPearl cladding is made using cement, sand, cellulose fibres, and water.

Is fibre cement cladding waterproof?

Yes. Thanks to the layers of durable primer on the front and back of the boards, moisture cannot penetrate the centre of the board, so it will not be susceptible to rot and warping like traditional timber.

How long does fibre cement wall cladding last?

SwissPearl cladding is supplied with a 15-year guarantee, and with the right maintenance will last even longer.

Does cement fibre cladding need to be painted?

Our fibre cement cladding from SwissPearl is supplied ready to install in 5 attractive colours, no painting needed!

Fibre Cement Cladding Installation and Maintenance

Fibre cement cladding can be installed in a variety of configurations. Not only can you fix it in standard horizontal or vertical configurations, but also a variety of patterns! 

SwissPearl cladding is low maintenance – you don't need to seal, paint, or sand it.

*Delivery to non-Industrial Scotland, Northern Ireland, and CH, LL, and CA postcodes can sometimes take slightly longer, although this is dependent upon the exact location.

If we are unable to deliver your order within the above timeframe for any reason, we will contact you to arrange an alternative delivery day. We use overnight carriers, so we are unable to arrange or confirm an exact time of delivery.

Some special or non-stocked items on our website have extended lead-times, which are displayed on the product pages in question – see below for more details.

Whilst every reasonable effort shall be made to keep to a delivery date, we cannot be held liable for any losses, costs, damages, or expenses arising directly or indirectly out of any failure to meet any estimated delivery date.

In the unlikely event of a late delivery, we will be unable to compensate you for any consequential loss, so please do not organise any plant or labour before you have received your materials.

 

DELIVERY CHARGES AND EXTENDED LEAD TIMES

Orders over £250 excluding VAT will be delivered free of charge. Orders under this amount will incur a charge of £15.00 + VAT. This applies to most stocked items and some items that are supplied directly from manufacturers. Orders of stocked items are generally delivered in 1-3 working days.

Some stocked items will incur a bulky or pallet charge due to their extreme weights or lengths:

  • Bulky items - £45.00 + VAT charge placed on orders that contain one or more bulky products. These items will be marked as bulky during the checkout process.
  • Palletised items - £60.00 + VAT charge placed on orders that contain one or more items that need to be sent and delivered via a pallet. These items will be marked as palletised during the checkout process.

A full list of stocked items can be found here.

Certain items, usually those sent direct from manufacturers, incur additional delivery charges and an extended lead time regardless of the order value, due to the restrictions placed upon us by our carrier and the extreme weights/lengths. These charges are applied instead of the standard £15.00 + VAT charge if the order is valued under £250 excluding VAT.

The following product ranges have extended lead times or incur additional delivery charges. Please click on each individual range for specific details.

Certain direct suppliers are able to ship outside of these areas depending on product quantity and availability. Please get in touch with us regarding any such queries.

 

SPLIT DELIVERIES

If you have ordered a mixture of goods that come both from us and direct from our manufacturing partners, you will be advised of this in your dispatch email. As the order is coming from two locations, you will receive two different deliveries. Delivery on direct items can have extended lead times and will need someone present to check and sign for the goods.

Occasionally, we don't have all items in stock at our main warehouse. If this is the case, we will endeavour to send the stock the same day from one of our other branches, in order to not delay delivery of the complete order. This may lead to a split delivery, dependant on the courier being used. We will contact you if there is going to be a delay due to this.

 

LABOUR AND MACHINERY

Please do not book machinery or labour until your goods have been received and checked over. Whilst every effort is made by our couriers to deliver your parcel within the stated timeframe, Professional Building Supplies cannot be held responsible for any additional costs incurred by delays outside of our control.

 

CHECKING AND SIGNING FOR ORDERS

SIGNED FOR POLICY – T&CS

All orders should be signed for. If you are unable to sign for your delivery, you can arrange with us for a neighbour to take delivery of your order. You can also advise us of a safe place where your order can be left, although we cannot take responsibility for any shortages or obvious damages.

Please ensure that you always check the number of packages that you are signing for. If there is an incorrect number of packages or any package appears damaged, you should note this on the signature panel and advise us so that we can rectify the issue as quickly as possible. Once goods have been signed for as being received ‘complete and in good condition’, any claims are not covered by the carrier’s insurance company.

Signing for goods as ‘unchecked’ makes any claims inadmissible, so please check the number of packages and look for any signs of any damage, noting any issues on the signature panel. Although the delivery drivers are busy, they are contractually obliged to wait whilst you check your delivery.

WHAT IF I CAN’T WAIT IN ALL DAY?

There is a ‘Notes’ section of the Basket review page where you can request for your goods to be left in a safe location – just tell us where to leave the order. Please not that we cannot take responsibility for any shortages or obvious damages if goods have not been signed for.

Please note that deliveries made by DHL (these are generally small orders with no pipe or bulky products) cannot be left in a safe location. You will be advised which carrier will be delivering your order by email at the point of dispatch.
