Cembrit's cladding product range has secured approval from the British Board of Agrément (BBA).

Cembrit Patina, Solid and Cover have all been assessed by the BBA and awarded certificate number 18/5600 for use as exterior non-load bearing, decorative external cladding on timber or metal vertical supports over timber frame, steel frame or masonry external walls for both new and existing buildings.

The products all passed a series of comprehensive assessments, including laboratory tests, on-site evaluations, quality management checks and inspections of production, in order to receive approval.

Cembrit's Managing Director, Thomas Heldgaard said: "This was a long time coming. The assessment procedure demonstrated improvements to our processes which have been incorporated in the finished product. We are pleased that such a rigorous assessment process has resulted in an accreditation that has real value to the specifier."

Simon Mayes, National Sales Manager, added: "We have a product that is equal to any fibre-cement cladding on the market and at a competitive price!"

BBA approval is recognised by building control, government departments, architects, local authorities, specifiers, and industry insurers like the National House Builders Council (NHBC).
