Introducing a whole new level of Performance & Efficiency
High-performance cement sheathing boards and breather membranes are essential components in modern façade design and construction. Both products play an important part in ensuring a building’s resilience against the elements and protecting its long-term integrity.
Many sheathing board options are available now, each offering varying levels of performance, workability, and compliance.
The same applies to breather membranes, with different fire classifications, different levels of resistance to water penetration, different methods of adhesion, and so on.
This often presents a challenge for designers and specifiers, particularly when needing the assurance of full product compatibility and regulatory compliance.
Furthermore, installing these two elements of the external wall is quite a lengthy process, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, traditional cement-based sheathing boards require the use of a circular saw to cut them, a very slow (and very dusty) process.
Secondly, the breather membrane can only be applied once the sheathing boards have been installed and fully sealed back to the substrate. The two products require distinct and separate installation processes.
There is a solution…
…the new OBEX UltraBoard.
UltraBoard is the innovative OBEX Score’N’Snap Cement Board, with an integral Class A Breather Membrane.
OBEX created UltraBoard to bring a whole new level of efficiency and consistency to the installation of sheathing boards and breather membranes.
Here’s why this matters.
- UltraBoard has proven to be a huge time-saving innovation on site. One façade contractor testified to the fact that on one project they saved an average of one day of install time per floor level
- No product compatibility issues
- Just one single product to specify and install, and still achieve the same critical levels of performance and regulatory compliance.
- Extensively tested with full certification
- Featuring the OBEX Score’N’Snap cutting technology saving hours of install time – and no dust extraction required.
Coupled with the legendary OBEX on-site support system, UltraBoard is proving to be a game-changer for the façade industry.
