Cembrit Cladding Range Secures BBA Approval

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).
