Territory ‘Steppe’

The sepia tones and colours that evoke timeless, wide open spaces and distinct seasonal changes of the steppe are what inspired Cemintel Territory™ Steppe.

The Territory range is classified AS 5113 EW (External Walls) for fire compliance. Find out more here.

Cemintel Territory™ is created for you – a natural cladding range that comes from Japanese values of simplicity, nature and quality. These prefinished cladding panels simulate materials like stone, timber, concrete, metal, tiles and smooth render in a sophisticated way to enhance building façades, without the ongoing maintenance.

The dry, grassy and arid plains of the steppe have distinct seasonal changes in temperature, with cold winters and warm summers. These extremes are reflected in the sepia tones seen on the steppe, colours that evoke timeless, wide open spaces.

Features

  • Prefinished and available in a variety of colours and simulated textures.
  • Provides a ventilated cavity to keep your building dry.
  • NichiGuard® stain resistant and self cleaning coating available on most panels^.
  • Machined with a complementary tongue and groove profile that easily fit together.
  • Choice of simple aluminium or colour matched, preformed corners.
  • Minimal ongoing maintenance required.
  • Simple clip fixing system that goes together like Meccano® from the starter strip.
  • Platinum coating technology protects against UV damage and colour fade.
  • Compressible sealing strip factory bonded onto the tongue profile to form a weather resistant joint.

CEMINTEL TERRITORY™ PANELS ARE CEMENT BONDED FIBROUS WOOD PARTICLE CLADDING PRODUCTS THAT ARE PRESSED WITH SURFACE TEXTURE AND PREFINISHED USING A DURABLE MULTI-LAYER PAINT PROCESS TO ACHIEVE A RANGE OF TEXTURES, FINISHES AND DESIGNS. THE LONG HORIZONTAL EDGE OF THE PANEL IS MACHINED WITH A COMPLEMENTARY TONGUE AND GROOVE PROFILE AND A COMPRESSIBLE SEALING STRIP IS BONDED ONTO THE TONGUE WHICH ENABLES THE PANELS TO FIT NEATLY TOGETHER TO FORM A WEATHER RESISTANT JOINT.

Cemintel Territory panels are manufactured in Japan to the Japanese Industrial Standard JIS A 5422 (fibre reinforced cement sidings) and are classified as a Type A, Grade 2 (fibre cement) sheet in accordance with ASTM C1186.

NB/ The above test results relate to coated panels unless otherwise specified (ie edges are sealed for testing to reflect the characteristic of sheets as delivered & in accordance with installation instructions). In-house testing as per ASTM C 1186.

PANEL – OTHER DURABILITY/WEATHER RESISTANCE INDICATORS

Test Result Relevant Standard
Heat Rain PASSED (25 Cycles) ASTM C 1186
Freeze Thaw PASSED (50 Cycles) ASTM C 1186
Warm Water Resistance PASSED (56 days) ASTM C 1186

PANEL – FINISH CHARACTERISTICS

Characteristic Result Relevant Standard
Finish Prefinished
Coating Type Nichiguard Coating – applied to all panels with the exception of Savanna Mist and Savanna Shade. Provides an anti-staining, self cleaning function. Silica particles in the coating attract water from the atmosphere to form a thin molecular film, so that airborne contaminants do not reach the panel surface itself. Rain water that runs down the wall washes contaminants away. (Platinum Coating)
Colour Bodied No
