LaChab Posted October 4, 2025 Posted October 4, 2025 Hi, I need to fit a panel to the outside of our house (ICF K-rend) in order to mount the solar inverter and trunking. Trouble is, I haven't a clue what to use. I need something that will take screws like ply, but be fully weatherproof. I've never used cement boarding type materials, and I've no idea whether they take screws well. Any suggestions........
Nickfromwales Posted October 4, 2025 Posted October 4, 2025 22mm cement board would do it nicely. Such as Link.
LaChab Posted October 4, 2025 Author Posted October 4, 2025 @Nickfromwales Thanks for the quick response. That's rather impressive looking stuff Not even too expensive. I'll give it a test! 1

LaChab Posted October 4, 2025 Author Posted October 4, 2025 @Markuz Thanks for the suggestions. Biggest problem with these cement boards is finding a local supplier. All seem to be mail order only, with usually ridiculous delivery charges!
Nickfromwales Posted October 4, 2025 Posted October 4, 2025 Local BM should be able to order similar in for you. 1
