Renderflex is a cellulose/fibre cement building board, specifically designed as a carrier board for polymer modified render systems.
The board has been formulated to achieve a strong key between the polymer basecoat and the Renderflex, and is manufactured to achieve the minimum amount of movement in the board possible, reducing any stress being applied to the render system.
RCM boards have been used or approved by most of the render manufactures* within the UK.

Technical Data |
Basic Composition - RCM Renderflex is manufactured from a mixture of specially treated cellulose fibres, Portland cement, sand and other additives.
General Properties - Renderflex is resistant to the general effects of moistures, humidity changes, rot, insects, vermin, and has good fire related properties.
Machine-ability - Renderflex can be cut drilled, sanded and worked in a similar fashion to that of cement particle board, or other fibre cement boards. For extensive cutting we recommend an electoplated diamond continuous rim cutting blade (EPC) diamond blade.
Applications - Renderflex is primarily designed to be used as a render carrier board, where there is no insulation applied to the board prior to rendering. For projects where an insulation is applied first to the board, we recommend the use of RCM Cemboard, Y-wall or Multi purpose.
Maintenance - Virtually maintenance free - cost effective.
Health & Safety - Appropriate health and safety precautions must be adhered to when working with this product (see lifting and handling section).
