Ventilated Facades & Fibre Cement Façade Materials

Introduction

Gain a deeper understanding of the history of fibre cement and uncover the latest innovations and uses of ventilated façade systems. We outline the different textures, colours and expressive surfaces of a high-density fibre cement material and also look at the numerous approaches to internal and external design.

Presented by Paresh Dave

Paresh comes from a background working with projects in NSW for the past 10 years, with a focus on fibre cement, waterproofing and facades. Having an understanding of closed fibre cement façade systems and ventilated facades, Paresh brings this experience to providing information on the most appropriate system to specify for your project.
