A guide to fibre cement facade systems as non-combustible, compliant construction solution.
The CPD covers the nature and manufacture of fibre cement facade panels systems, types of panel on the market, colour and texture options, history, composition and fixing systems. The CPD also covers key legislation and standards regarding safety, fire performance, CDM installation practice and testing. In the allowwed commercial slides, it also covers the company and new visualisation models. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:
- Fibre cement facade panels
- The range of products, texture and colours available in lightweight products
- The properties in relation to safety and Part B
-The CDM and safety requirements of product usage
- The product role in lightweight building solutions

Fibre Cement Façade Systems: Fire Safety, Building Regulations and Aesthetics
This CPD focusses on fibre cement, concentrating on current and pending building regulations changes in relation to Approved Document B and change of regulator to HSE. Further reflecting on these changes, it analyses the difference between fire reaction and fire resistance and examines product testing within rainscreen and full system testing of rainscreen cladding systems. Whilst discussing these key technical points, the CPD also highlights various aesthetics that can be achieved using fibre cement facade materials. By the end of the presentation you should have a greater understanding of:
- Building Regulations Changes - Amendment to ADB
- Fire Safety – What is the difference between Fire Resistance and Fire Reaction
- The significant difference between testing a products performance compared to testing a systems performance
