Fermacell Powerpanel H20 board awarded BBA certification

Fermacell, one of the leading manufacturers of dry-lining systems, has been officially recognised for its water-resistant board - Powerpanel H20 - after receiving BBA (British Board of Agrement) certification.

Renowned for its superior performance in humid, wet  and high-temperature environments, Powerpanel H20 which is a cement-bonded board, reinforced with glass-fibre mesh, has now been approved by the BBA  for use in both internal and external applications.

Suitable for domestic and commercial builds, the board can be installed as the internal lining - or as part of an external render system - on masonry, timber and steel-frame constructions up to 18m high. The board can also be used in conjunction with External Wall Insulation (EWI) systems.

Andrew Richardson, Technical Manager at Fermacell, said: “We are pleased to announce that we have now been accredited with BBA approval. This accreditation will allow us to expand the board’s portfolio of product applications.”

Most typically known for its internal specification in environments such as wet rooms, bathrooms and swimming pools, the Powerpanel H20 is anticipated to have much more widespread use externally, as the recently-introduced Green Deal promotes energy-saving improvements.

Andrew Richardson added: “ “Powerpanel H20 is versatile enough to cater to a number of builds and challenging environments,  from swimming pools with  acidic chlorine and constant humidity, to external walls ready to receive a render, paint or cladding finish.”

The board carries a reaction-to-fire rating of A1 and can be expected to have a service life in excess of 30 years.
