SHERA Board As Exterior Facade Board in Factory Renovation

SHERA Boards were selected as the board of choice in a factory renovation project in Slovakia. 

The goal was to transform an ugly, corrugated steel siding of a factory into a more vibrant and modern looking building.

Wooden battens were installed onto the old facade wall.

SHERA Board in Temporary ‘Windstopper Façade’ Systems

SHERA Boards are fire resistant to Class A1 boards according to EN13501 standards and are also rot and insect resistant and able to stand up to varying weather conditions. The low coefficient of thermal expansion means SHERA Boards can stand wide temperature ranges without expanding/shrinking. They are extremely robust and have been fully tested to EN12467 standards.
SHERA Board used as a temporary facade solution
As SHERA Boards are designed to be used as an exterior wall boards, it is possible to apply insulation as well as render and other facade materials directly to the boards.
SHERA Board as a robust temporary exterior facade board

SHERA Boards can be used as a temporary so-called ‘Windstopper’ application together with SHERA’s own PU sealant to form a wind proof and waterproof sealed joint façade; or with a UV tape to form a membrane along the joints.


SHERA Board can be installed as part of a 'windstopper' application using one of two different jointing methods.

SHERA Board can be joined using multiple methods

The result: a tough, long lasting facade giving protection from the elements while an on-going construction project is completed.

The first step was to take apart all the unnecessary elements of the wall/facade.

SHERA Strip is a fibre cement facade material for external walls

Exterior walls were created with SHERA Board (10mm), steel studs and insulation.

Exterior wall boards from SHERA

An architectural façade was created with steel and covered with 8mm SHERA Board

The solution was elastic as it is critical to consider material applications that tolerate movement.


Furthermore a breathable façade was required since the old building might have suffered from humidity concentrations.
