Install Faster With a Lightweight External Wall Cladding System Built for Speed

The Basroc External Wall Cladding System is engineered to move with your build, not against it. Designed for speed, safety, and site efficiency, this lightweight external wall cladding system delivers faster installs, lower handling risks, and fewer delays across your project timeline.

With featherweight panels, direct-fix installation, and large-format coverage, Basroc helps your crew install faster and smarter, without compromising compliance or finish quality.

Lightweight EPS Core for One-Person Installs

At the core of Basroc’s system is a high-performance expanded polystyrene (EPS) panel. Each board weighs under 10 kg, allowing one team member to carry and install it using basic site tools. No cranes, no complex lifts, no extra hire gear.

This setup means:

• Crews work faster without mechanical assistance
• Smaller install teams stay productive
• Fatigue drops across long days
• Tight-access or staged sites are easier to manage

For low-rise projects or sites without heavy lifting capability, Basroc removes the barriers to progress.

Direct-Fix Cladding Saves Time and Materials

Basroc panels install directly into timber or steel studs using screws, no battens required. This direct-fix cladding system reduces time spent aligning fixings and coordinating between framing and cladding trades.

You benefit from:

• Simplified wall set-out
• Fewer materials to store or manage on-site
• Faster sequencing between trades
• Cleaner logistics and fewer project delays

Direct-fix installation cuts steps while keeping quality high, making it easier to meet tight build programs.

Oversized Panels Increase Coverage Per Lift

Each Basroc board measures 1200 × 3000 mm, covering 3.6 square metres per panel. This means:

• Fewer panels needed per elevation
• Fewer joints to seal or treat
• Reduced handling per team member
• Less chance of breakage or rework
• Crews can move through each elevation faster, especially when racing against weather windows or coordinating with other trades.

Smartbond Foam Joints Boost Energy Performance

Between each panel, Smartbond construction foam instantly seals gaps and blocks airflow. These foam joints reduce thermal bridging and air leakage, helping builders meet energy and compliance targets faster.

This jointing method:

• Closes thermal gaps on contact
• Simplifies airtightness
• Eliminates the need for fiddly filler or tape
• Supports better thermal modelling outcomes

With airtight joints and minimal cold spots, Basroc helps lift post-build energy performance — a must for 6- and 7-star homes.

Two-Coat Render System Finishes Walls Fast

Once panels are installed, the Basroc acrylic render system applies fast and finishes strong. It includes:

• A base coat with embedded fibreglass mesh to resist cracking and absorb movement
• A tinted acrylic topcoat that delivers colour, texture, and weather protection

Depending on site conditions, the system cures within 48 hours, allowing crews to finalise finishes quickly and move onto other stages.

Available in a wide range of textures and colours, the render coat also simplifies handover by removing the need for external painting.

CodeMark Certification for Full System Confidence

Basroc is CodeMark certified under CM70139, covering the full build-up from panel to render. This simplifies sign-off, reduces paperwork for certifiers, and speeds up the approvals process.

CodeMark certification provides:

• Full system traceability
• Tested performance data
• Clear compliance documentation for surveyors
• Reduced admin load for developers, builders, and consultants

For large-scale or compliance-heavy projects, Basroc keeps approvals moving and risk low.
