- Made from thick and solid 8.5mm fibre cement

EasyLap™ panel is a strong fibre cement base sheet with a shiplap vertical joint, and can be finished with either a site-applied roll-on textured acrylic paint or tiles. Lightweight but durable, EasyLap™ panel is a simply installed and cost-effective broadwall, textured cladding solution. Ideal for residential external wall cladding applications, EasyLap™ panel can be used anywhere a uniform broadwall cladding is required. That includes timber or steel framed homes, in composite construction designs or full wrap developments, additions and alterations.
There’s nothing to installing EasyLap™ panel. The shiplap edge joint along the two long edges eliminates the need for a set joint or control joint, and the pre-primed sheet speeds up the painting process if finishing with a roller-applied acrylic texture.
