Fiber Cement Smooth Board 8mm – Strong, Paintable Board for Walls, Ceilings & Partitions

At Shabbiri Hardware, we stock the Fiber Cement Smooth Board 8mm (1200mm × 2400mm) – a tough, flat board made from cement and reinforcing fibres. It gives you a smooth surface that is ready to paint, and it is a popular choice for interior walling, ceilings, partitions and covered outdoor areas in Kenyan homes, offices, shops and schools.

💡 Good to know

Unlike ordinary boards made from wood, fiber cement does not rot, swell or get eaten by termites. It handles damp rooms well, does not burn easily, and keeps its shape for many years. One full sheet covers 2.88 m², so you can finish large walls and ceilings quickly with fewer joints.

🛠️How to Install

Build the frame – Fix a timber or metal frame with studs about 600mm apart.

Cut to size – Mark the board and cut with a fine-tooth saw or score-and-snap blade. Wear a dust mask when cutting.

Fix the board – Screw the board to the frame every 200–300mm, keeping screws about 15mm from the edges.

Leave small gaps – Leave a 2–3mm gap between boards to allow for movement.

Finish the joints – Fill joints and screw heads with a suitable filler or joint tape and compound.

Paint – Apply a primer, then your chosen paint. We stock Crown Paints at both branches.

🧮How Many Boards Do I Need?

Measure your wall or ceiling (length × height in metres) and divide by 2.88. Add about 10% extra for cutting.

Example: a 4m × 3m ceiling = 12 m² ÷ 2.88 = about 4.2, so buy 5 boards.
