Constructafloor External

Cemintel Constructafloor® External is a nailable, advanced lightweight fibre cement structural flooring product suitable for external use.

The panels have a tongue and groove joint, which keeps stability between joists and reduces the risk of membrane cracking. As the product is nailable, installation is faster as no countersinking is required. They do not contain any magnesium chloride (salt).
