The 8mm fibre cement board is the thickness facade engineers specify as sheathing behind ventilated rainscreens, ACP systems and external insulation — and the thickness prefab builders use for wall cassettes where 6 mm is too light and 12 mm adds dead weight the frame does not need. OZIANT lists WedgeCem 8 mm boards from Wedge Industries Limited in 2400 x 1200 mm sheets, with 2500 x 1250 mm and 3000 x 1250 mm available for panelised systems.
Export records in the period analysed show 8 mm consignments pricing from about US$8 to over US$12 per sheet depending on grade and size — a band this listing reflects. Boards are 100% non-asbestos, autoclave-cured, frost-tested to 25 cycles and non-combustible Class A1, making them the default substrate where a facade system needs a board that shrugs off both fire regulations and driving rain. Indicative FOB pricing is US$8.30-11.20 per sheet.

Export compliance & duty — included in the price
Every shipment from this 8mm fibre cement board listing is prepared for the destination market by ZJELL Limited, the Wedge Group’s export-consulting company, so that documentation is never the reason a consignment is delayed. The following are included or arranged:
- 100% non-asbestos (chrysotile-free) declaration with every shipment
- ISO 8336:2006 type-test report and batch mill test certificate
- ASTM C1185 flexural strength certificate per batch
- EN 13501-1 A1 classification report — arranged by ZJELL Limited
- CE marking support to EN 12467 for EU and UK buyers
- Third-party pre-shipment inspection (SGS / BV / Intertek) on request

USA: HTS 6811.82 MFN free; the 10% reciprocal tariff on Indian goods (from 24-07-2026) still prices India below China. GCC: 5% common external tariff. EU: low single-digit MFN; India-EU FTA not yet in force.
The sheathing thickness behind modern facades
Eight millimetre is the quiet volume line of the fibre cement trade: it rarely headlines a price list, but facade contractors buy it by the container as the sheathing layer of every rainscreen job, and prefab factories consume it in wall cassettes. The customs data shows steady 8 mm consignments to the Gulf and Africa through the period analysed.
WedgeCem 8 mm boards hold 0.04-0.07% moisture movement — the figure that matters in a sealed facade build-up, where a board that swells telegraphs every joint through the cladding. Autoclave curing locks the matrix before the board ever meets weather, and batch numbers on each pallet tie to the mill test certificate.

Sheets ship 75 per pallet, poly-wrapped with edge protection and strapping. A 20 ft container takes about 750 sheets of 2400 x 1200 (26 t). Supervised loading with photo report before sealing.

Frequently asked questions
What is an 8mm fibre cement board used for?
External sheathing behind ventilated rainscreen, ACP and EIFS facades; internal partitions where 6 mm is too light; render and tile substrates; and prefab wall cassettes. It is the balance point between stiffness and dead weight on a steel frame.
Can 8mm fibre cement board take direct render?
Yes — the sanded face takes polymer-modified renders and tile adhesives directly. Use alkali-resistant mesh at joints and movement joints at 6 m centres; the board’s 0.04-0.07% moisture movement keeps the render face stable.
Do you supply the European 2500 x 1250 mm size?
Yes, 2500 x 1250 x 8 mm runs on order for panelised and modular builders working on the European module, and 3000 x 1250 mm for storey-height panels. Both can share a container with standard 2400 x 1200 sheets.
Is the 8 mm board walkable for roof and soffit work?
It is a wall and soffit board, not a trafficable deck. For walkable mezzanine and floor applications use the 15 mm, 18 mm or 40 mm floor board listings on this supplier profile.
