Product Description

The Texture Base Sheet is Cemintel®’s blue board product for creating a rendered texture on exterior walls. It’s a 7.5mm fibre cement sheet, with recessed edges for flush jointed external walls. The cement sheets have a coating of blue primer, which is why they’re called blue board.

Texture Base Sheets are generally used on upper stories, cantilevered features and above long span openings like garage doors. The cement sheets are used in places that require a jointless render texture aesthetic and where it’s impractical to construct and support a heavy rendered masonry wall.
