Complete Bathroom SolutionThis waterproof tile backer product is for bathroom wet area walls and floors as well as generalunderlayment. Depending on the application, XPS is a replacement for the combo use of OSB/plywoodwith traditional tile backer as well as additionally required water barrier.

Each 3’x5’x1/2” sheet of XPS weighs approximately 8 lbs. and its simplicity allows for quick and easyinstallation. Benefits include:

• does not expand or contract, rot, warp or cup• lightweight – easy to carry and handle• effective sound barrier• Waterproof, mold proof, termite proof• eco-friendly, non-toxic, VOC free• tile can be applied directly• easy design flexibility• Score and Snap• Bathroom prep in 2-3 hours, then tiling the same

day (including optional shower pan and drain with built-in p-trap)

• iCC/aStM Certified (meets IBC and IRC requirements)

The XPS Tile Backer Board, XPS Shower Tray, XPS Shapeable, and L and U-shaped Boards (shown above) areengineered as a general purpose underlayment for tiles and are especially designed for high moisture areas.XPS board will not absorb water, nor does it need additional waterproofing, due to its internal waterproofcomposition and zero capillary action.

Polyurethane sealer can be used in conjunction with fleece-laminated waterproof sealing tape.

Fasteners

Full-size XPS sheets are 3’ x 5’ or 4’x 8’. Thickness varies from .25” to 2”.

M4 Sheathing for the high-performance build environment

M4-exterior Composite Sheathing is a true next-generation MgO Board that has taken decadesto perfect and is a replacement for the current two-step plywood/OSB + fireproof layer – with onlyone board. This saves time and money on material and labor.M4 is fiber-reinforced, and 100% silica-free. The board is made with a natural off-white color(standard) and has a hard and durable surface. The primary benefits include:

• Fireproof, termite proof and mold proof• Structural strength for load bearing walls on 2” x 4” wood and steel framing. Our board BROKE the testing machine!

• does not expand or contract, rot, warp or cup. absorbs and releases moisture anunlimited number of times, without changes in the board strength properties.

• Vapor permeable. insulation can be mounted directly on the back when used in ventilatedconstruction with closed vapor barrier

• eco-friendly, non-toxic, VOC free• iCC/aStM Certified (meeting all iBC and irC requirements)

M4 Sheathing isvirtually non-combustible – thehighest rating infireproofing. Itsstructural strengthand durability ensuretrouble-freeperformance fordecades.

thermo Panels• R-Value up to 5 (depending on thickness),

increasing insulation value by 30%• No need to stucco five layers – with thermo Panels, asingle layer of stucco can be completed in one step• Applies directly to OSB/plywood with roof nails or staples• Use interchangeably for…

Walls – superb insulation and ease of assemblyFloor – perfect underlayment for tile or woodRoof – thermal panels sealed with asphaltAround Windows – eliminates energy loss

• Eliminates cold bridges• Excellent waterproofing and mold resistance, vapor barrier• Noise insulation

Complying with ICC-ES AC386 and ICC-ES AC269.2

exterior Siding & CladdingMulti-Panels produces a wide range of siding and cladding materials, as reviewed here and onthe following pages – including Color, natura, Cedar Plank and Smooth Plank, and rustica.Each has special features, but they all share the core virtues of water resistance, low pH to stayfree of mold and fungus, and high structural stability.In addition to meeting the U.S. requirements of the AC90 test for weather exposure, our fiber cement siding material meets European requirements that are five times more stringent in freeze/thaw testing. Not only are our products more durable – they are surprisingly less expensive. Other key advantages:

• Optional factory nano-coating reflects back solar heat from 50%-69%

• anti-graffiti protection• PVdF*

*PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) delivers high performance at acompetitive cost. Its inherent purity positions it as ideal for a varietyof applications which involve extreme conditions. PVDF ischaracterized by low permeability, as well as strong abrasion andchemical resistance.

natura-exterior siding panel of dyed colored fiber cementnatura-exterior siding panel comes with semi-coated surface in

three dyed colors: off-white, anthracite, and light gray. The front surfaceis in the same color as the core. It features a visible ground structure.

Natura siding is water-resistant and UV-protected, and the back of the panel isUV coated. After cutting, edges must be sealed.

Natura-Exterior siding has a slightly sanded front and rolled backing. The board isimpermeable to moisture. The surface is uniform in color and appearance – even

between different batch series.

Highly resistant to mold, fungus, rotting and more, Natura-Exterior Siding has apH value of 11, making it strongly resistant to attack by

fungus and molds. It will not rot or degrade in a humid environment, and is not

weakened when wet.

Custom Color-exterior siding panel of dyed colored fiber cementColor-exterior siding can be supplied in any custom color with

orders of more than 14,000 sq. ft. per color. Color-Exteriorsiding is fully covered with two coats of PVDF varnish,

which gives the surface an even, smooth look. It has anattractive high-quality finish and it is UV resistant for

up to 10 years without fading. The PVDF surface canbe supplied from gloss 10-70.

Color-Exterior siding pH value of 11 makes the panel veryresistant to attack by fungus and molds. Color-Exterior siding

cannot rot or degrade in a humidenvironment.

This product can be used formany applications, includingventilated facade/cladding; it canbe installed outside and insidewithout restriction. The panelsare not weakened when wet andhave anti-grafitti protection.

NOTE: Product is provided in 4’ x 8’ boards.Items illustrated are presentation samples.

.

Cedar-Plank and Smooth-PlankThe Cedar-Plank has a natural cedar look and a soft texture. The Smooth-Plankhas an attractive smooth, clean appearance. Our siding enhances and protectshomes in all kinds of climates. Produced from strong fiber cement, (woodstructure or smooth) and free of silica, it has a very durable, maintenance-freesurface. This siding is ICC-ES certified to AC 90 norms for fiber cement.

The base color of the board is a natural dyed gray for DIY painting –or factory nano-coating technology is applied, which back-reflectsthe solar heat from 50% to 69% (white has the highestreflectance). Factory colors can also be selected for atransparent wood effect.

The siding is highly resistant to attack by fungusand mold, and will not rot or degrade in humid

environments.

Cedar and Smooth-Plank siding can be installed either verticallyand horizontally with equal performance.

rustica-exterior siding panel of dyed colored fiber cementrustica-exterior is a superior panel for siding (mainly ventilated facade/cladding),with unrestricted application for both exterior or interior use. It is ideal for use as a fasciaboard or similar applications.

Rustica-Exterior siding is a high density, air permeable, dyed colored fiber cement panel. It isproduced in the dyed soil colors: Natural white, flint/cement gray, anthracite/matte black, and inspecial cases, sand and a reddish or green soil color. Since the raw soil materials provide thedyed colors, different production batches cannot be mixed, as there may be a color variancebetween production batch series. The panels have a soft natural look, with earthy soil colors that arecharacteristic of dyed raw materials. The fronts are lightly sanded and the surface has a “natural raw”appearance with variable whitish speckling.

Rustica-Exterior siding is surface-treated with a waterproof front, which makes it not only resistant to waterbut also soiling and provides increased protection against UV fading. The panel can or will slowly develop alovely patina, depending on where it is mounted.

The pH value of 11 makes the panel highly resistant to attack by fungus and molds. The panel cannot rot ordegrade in a humid environment and can absorb and release moisture an unlimited number of times withoutthe board's strength properties deteriorating.
