Ramco Building Boards
What are Ramco Building Boards?
Ramco Hicem and Hilux boards are high-performance, engineered construction material boards produced by Ramco that are designed to outperform traditional building product boards across multiple performance criteria.
Introducing Ramco Building Boards
Calcium silicate and fibre cement boards stand out as a highly versatile construction material, widely regarded as the premier building board for drywall and ceiling applications. Offering a superior alternative to plywood, plaster, or gypsum boards, these panels boast non-combustible A1 fire-rated properties and can achieve a 4-hour fire-rated system, ensuring exceptional safety standards.
In addition to their exceptional fire resistance, these boards also feature excellent acoustic properties and high impact strength, enhancing their utility across a diverse range of settings. Adaptable for interior applications, the boards can be easily painted, wallpapered, or tiled as needed, seamlessly integrating with various design requirements.
Furthermore, they exhibit remarkable resistance to rot, fungi, and pests, ensuring long-lasting durability and performance in diverse environmental conditions. Their combination of versatility, safety, and resilience make them a preferred choice for discerning architects, builders, and homeowners alike.
