Woodium

FAQ

Questions, answered

What Woodium is made of, where it can go, how it is installed and finished, and how to buy it.

The material

What is Woodium?

Woodium is a wood-like fibre cement panel made in India. It looks like wood but is made of cement and cellulose fibre, so it does not rot, warp or attract termites.

What is it made of?

Fibre cement: 85% Portland cement and 15% cellulose fibre, pressed with a wood grain using flow-on technology.

Does it contain asbestos?

No. Woodium is 100% asbestos-free.

Is it termite-proof?

Yes. It is cement-based, so there is nothing in it for termites to eat.

Is it fire resistant?

Yes. Woodium is fire resistant and rated Class 1 for surface spread of flame.

How is it different from WPC or HPL?

WPC is a wood-plastic composite and HPL is a high-pressure laminate. Woodium is a solid fibre cement panel with the grain pressed into it, finished with wood stain or paint on site.

Using it

Can it be used on exteriors, in sun and rain?

Yes. Woodium is exterior grade and weatherproof, made for facades, open balcony ceilings, decks and fences.

Can it be used for interiors?

Yes. It is used for floors, wall panelling, ceilings, stairs and wardrobes, as well as for Masterpiece feature walls.

What sizes do the panels come in?

Most planks are 2900 mm long, from 11 to 25 mm thick and 100 to 290 mm wide. Concrete Panels are 600 × 600 or 600 × 1200 mm. The full catalogue lists all 35+ profiles.

Can it be used for floors and pool decks?

Yes. Pool Deck is a 25 mm profile made for flooring, installed with plugs and screws over a 1% slope.

How is it installed?

Screwed onto a steel frame, wood frame or concrete slab. For walls, frames are spaced 40 × 40 cm with a double frame at every joint. Screw heads are counterbored and covered with tile grout.

Can it be cut and drilled like wood?

Yes. It works with standard woodworking tools: saws, routers, sanders and drills.
