Product Specification Sheet
MICROSHIELD®’s Microboard® is a VKF/AEAI: RF1 (Nr. 31178) and EN 13501-1 - A1 certified construction board for the building and infrastructure industries.
VKF/AEAI Certificate (Nr. 31178)
The Microboard® is lightweight and offers high mechanical strength including edge stability. Microboard®s can be processed with common commercially available machines and offer further advantages in versatile application possibilities.
Non-flammability and excellent acoustic insulation, as well as indoor and outdoor applicability, are just some of the features that meet our customer's versatile needs.
Microboard®s are easy to work with. Cutting, sawing, nailing, stapling, painting, direct veneering, etc. are just some of the advantages over standard products.
Microboard®s have a smooth upside surface structure without any blowholes and allow direct decorative coating without any pretreatment. The ground and calibrated side for example, is ideal for laying tiles.
Microboard®s do not contain organic materials, are free of formaldehyde, asbestos or other toxic substances.
They are environmentally neutral and without any influences for humans and the environment.
Construction boards from MICROSHIELD® require about 30% less energy in production than conventional, cement bonded construction boards. This makes Microboard®s more ecological than other products and contributes to the global reduction of carbon dioxide.
The 3mm Microboard® already offers a fire resistance of more than 1 hour. No other construction board known offers similar results in terms of both, performance and price!
MICROSHIELD®'s Microboard® is a construction platform used successfully in the building industry, in particular, to meet high fire safety requirements and above all to optimize costs / benefits.
The Microboard®s are available from 3mm to 50mm in the standard panel size of 1220x2440mm, certified according to VKF/AEAI: RF1 (Nr. 31178) and EN 13501-1 as A1 plate.
