Futurebuild 2026 showed what makes Cedral special

Housing Mon, Apr 13, 2026 1:31 PM

Cedral showcased its premium quality fibre-cement facades, roof slates and accompanying accessories at Futurebuild 2026 with the team on hand to offer advice, answer questions and provide technical guidance.

Whether it’s for a new build or a renovation project, Cedral has a range of products for facades and roofs of exceptional quality and high performance.

Our recent white paper, ‘Building the future’, indicates a major shift toward retrofitting to meet net-zero goals and also emphasises the rise of durable, non-combustible cladding.

Cedral uses high grade metal moulds for our cladding to create the intricate grain effects of natural wood without the associated costs of painting and long-term maintenance and also offers a smooth alternative.

Cedral has researched homeowners’ and developers’ attitudes to colour extensively and offers cladding in a range of 21 different hues, grouped into four colour collections related to different lifestyles and aesthetic choices.

Details such as water absorption, insulation properties and plank coverage are important when looking at fibre cement cladding alternatives. Cedral facades are a robust 10-12mm thick, making them sturdier than most.

When we tested Cedral Lap against its nearest competitor, using a configured test module with two adjoining walls (2.1m in height) and a window, our system was 34% quicker to install. With the same test using Cedral Click, this came in at 13.5% quicker than the nearest competitor.

Cedral employs both nails and clips, depending on the type of plank used, providing options for installation. And also unlike most other planks on the market, ours do not require painting board edges once they’ve been cut.

Traceability and the distance from manufacturing site to project location are key statistics. All of our cladding products are made in Europe, minimising the miles travelled.

Our fibre cement slates are consistently popular for their aesthetics, performance, ease of installation and sustainability.
