How heavy is the fiber cement panel?
Weight of the fiber cement board
The weight of facade finishing material is a very important characteristic directly influencing the choice of system of the hinged ventilated facade. The square meter of a fiber cement facade weighs much less ceramic granite or panels made of a natural stone of the same area. But, nevertheless, it is necessary to calculate the exact weight of future facade correctly. If you know the needed area and thickness of the chosen fiber cement boards, you can do it using the known density of the fiber cement — 1,65 g/cm3, or using the table of weight of a fiber cement board below.
Weight of 1 sq.m. of the fiber cement board
The weight of one square meter of a standard fiber cement board 8 mm thick is 13,2 kilograms.
The weight of LATONIT fiber cement facade panel in dependence of the chosen length of the panel and its thickness (width is constant and equal to 1500 mm), kg.:

As you can see in the table, the weight of one standard LATONIT fiber cement panel in thickness of 8 mm is from 23,8 to 71,3 kg depending on the chosen length.
The weight of the fiber cement panels, small in comparison with weight of a stone and ceramic granite, allows using the subsystem focused on smaller working load without overpaying for not used margin of safety.
