AQUAPANEL® in Action

Easy Installation That Moves Projects Faster

AQUAPANEL® Cement Board Indoor is engineered for simplicity and speed across every stage of installation.

AQUAPANEL® Cement Board Indoor is engineered for simplicity and speed across every stage of installation. Weighing only 11 kg/m² , the board is exceptionally lightweight, making handling and overhead installation easier. Cutting is fast and clean using a simple score-and-snap technique, with no need for special tools . Boards are installed directly onto substructures without pre-drilling, except where metal thickness exceeds 2 mm.

 

Fastening is straightforward: screws are placed from the center outward, with a spacing of 250 mm maximum and at least 15 mm from edges . With a flexible bending radius of 1 meter, AQUAPANEL® easily adapts to curved walls and ceilings without compromising board strength.

 

After installation, joints are prepared using AQUAPANEL® Joint Adhesive or Joint Filler & Skim Coating, embedding reinforcement tape where necessary. Before tiling or finishing, AQUAPANEL® Board Primer is applied to ensure optimal adhesion (Page 17). Whether single or double-layer systems are needed, the board supports a wide range of project requirements efficiently and reliably.
