IBS PRIMAaqua Fibre Cement Board
Description

IBS PRIMAaqua is a wet area lining panel manufactured from cellulose fibre cement, with rebated edges on each length. PRIMAaqua has a smooth, sanded and sealed surface to ensure minimal water and moisture absorption in the exposed surface.

  • Immune to permanent water damage
  • Dimensionally stable (low moisture movement)
  • Ideal substrate for ceramic or marble tiles
  • Can be painted or decorated with wall covering materials
  • Pink board with smooth, sanded surface
  • Rebated edges along the two long sides
