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
Ramco Building Boards are durable calcium silicate and fibre cement boards designed for a wide range of internal construction applications. Suitable for walls, ceilings, partitions and fire protection systems, they provide a reliable alternative to traditional plasterboard, plywood and gypsum boards.
With an A1 non-combustible fire rating and the ability to form part of fire-rated systems of up to four hours, Ramco boards are a trusted choice for projects where fire performance is a priority. They also offer excellent acoustic properties, high impact resistance and long-term durability.
Easy to work with and finish, Ramco Building Boards can be painted, tiled or wallpapered to suit a variety of residential, commercial and industrial applications. Resistant to moisture, rot, fungi and pests, they deliver dependable performance in demanding environments.
