Weather Resistant Sheathing Boards
WeatherKem is a BBA-approved (section 7), high-performance calcium silicate fibre cement weatherproof building board, combining weather, moisture, and fire resistance properties with high impact strength and sound insulation. WeatherKem is suitable for all locations and building types with an A1 reaction to fire classification for the boards in accordance with BS EN 13501/1 2007
It is primarily used as an external sheathing board on LGSF and timber structures of all types of façade solutions, including offsite residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, as well as modular educational and healthcare projects. WeatherKem is suited for external wall-lining applications and is tested and fire-rated for load bearing SFS for up to 90 minutes and non-load-bearing requirements for 60, 90 and 120 minutes. It is also approved for use by the manufacturers of a wide range of directly applied renders, and as part of EWI insulation and render systems.
Flooring Board System
KemFloor is an A1 fire-rated, non-combustible fibre cement flooring board with high sound, thermal and moisture-resisting properties. Its high density provides superb acoustic properties. It is used as a durable flooring board and is supplied with a UK factory-engineered tongue and grooved edge profile to form a strong and seamless joint (also available with a straight edge). It has excellent load-bearing capabilities. It can be used on traditional joists, engineered joists and batten floor systems. It is suitable for raised access flooring systems, to enhance underfloor heating systems, and for mezzanine flooring, balconies, and lofts, and in bathrooms and wetrooms.
Tracker Panel for Brick Slips
The KemTrack Brick Slip Tracker Panel board is a highly adaptable and time-saving product which is the perfect housing for brick slips, commonly used in offsite construction. Its modular nature means it can be adapted for use for any size and configuration of brickwork design. The ability to provide bespoke panels through in-house UK ISO 9001 manufacturing and precision CNC routing is a huge benefit. The panels are manufactured from A1 fire-rated, non-combustible fibre cement board and have high sound, thermal and moisture-resisting properties.
All Kemwell products are independently tested and certified and supported by an expert design and support team to guide construction managers through every stage of their offsite construction project.
