Textured Fibre Cement Sheet Repairs

What is Textured Fibre Cement Sheet Cladding?

Textured Fibre Cement Sheet Cladding is a commonly used exterior cladding system. It’s made by fixing fibre cement sheets to timber framing and then applying a texture coat, typically with acrylic or cement-based plaster. This system has been a popular choice for its durability and versatility.

In its early applications, fibre cement sheets were installed with butt joints and no reinforcement. However, when rebated-edge sheets became available, the joins could be reinforced with mesh and then flushed before the texture coating was applied. In some cases, these systems were finished with acrylic texture without any paint, which could leave the surface exposed to issues down the line.

Common Problems with Textured Fibre Cement Sheet Cladding

From our experience in maintaining and repairing various plaster cladding systems, Textured Fibre Cement Sheet Cladding and solid plaster (sand/cement) systems are among those most prone to moisture-related problems. The most frequent issues we come across include:

  • Poor installation of fibre cement sheets
  • Weak single-mesh jointing
  • Lack of control joints to manage movement
  • Poorly installed flashing and other detailing
  • Profile bands that haven’t been fixed properly
  • Insufficient waterproofing measures

It’s important to note that the fibre cement sheets themselves aren’t usually the problem. The root causes are often related to poor design, bad workmanship, and a lack of understanding about weathertightness in the industry. Inadequate installation practices and incompatible materials can lead to long-term damage from moisture ingress.
