Has anyone experience of Nuance panels by Bushboard?

 

The big claim is that the core is impervious to water.

Really. Is this sort of nonsense still spouted by marketing departments.

I looked at them at the last Build show at the NEC, the examples on the stand where very good, almost impossible to see where the butt joins had been made. I guess only someone that has had them installed a while will know how they perform. So far it is the only panel system I have seen that does not require the somewhat unsightly inside corner beads.

Odd as I thought a corner needed one ..?? Or are they still saying a 2 or 3mm CT1 join is enough ..??

Just checked and apparently my merchant is a stockist so will get a price and compare to multipanel.
