How delivery works

We work with a nationwide network of trusted suppliers. Items in your basket may be supplied by different suppliers and delivered separately. Where this applies, you will see delivery charges shown at checkout for each part of your order. We always aim to group products from the same supplier to keep delivery costs as low as possible.

Delivery areas

Delivery charges apply to mainland UK, excluding: AB, CA, CF, DD, DG, EH, EX, FK, KA, KW, KY, IV, LA, LD, LL, ML, NP, PA, PH, PL, SA, SY, TR, TQ and TD.

If your address is in one of these areas, we will contact you before processing your order to confirm any additional costs. We do not currently offer delivery outside the UK mainland.

What to expect on delivery day

  • Deliveries are typically kerbside.
  • Please ensure someone is on-site to accept delivery. For heavier items, help with offloading may be required.
  • Many building materials arrive on large vehicles. If access is restricted, a specialist vehicle such as a HIAB may be required and could incur an additional charge.

Why delivery can cost more than typical parcel delivery

Building materials often travel on larger vehicles and usually carry fewer drops per run than parcel networks. That is why delivery charges can be higher than standard e-commerce shipping.

Returns

Returns depend on what you have bought and whether there is anything wrong with it. For full details on eligibility, timeframes, and exclusions, please see our full policy.

Product Overview

RCM Y-Wall Calcium Silicate Board measuring 2400mm x 1200mm x 12mm is a high-performance, non-combustible sheathing board designed for use behind façade systems, rainscreens, and cladding. 

Manufactured from calcium silicate reinforced with selected fibres, it provides a dimensionally stable substrate with excellent fire resistance and structural rigidity.


The board is suitable for both steel and timber frame applications, forming a robust external sheathing layer that maintains integrity under high temperature and moisture variations. Its smooth, dense surface resists delamination, impact, and weather exposure during construction, ensuring long-term performance.

RCM Y-Wall is engineered for use as part of ventilated façade systems and has been independently tested to meet fire and durability standards. The 12mm thickness provides enhanced stiffness and strength, making it suitable for medium to high-rise projects where wind loading and mechanical fixing demands are greater. 

Features & Benefits

  • High-density calcium silicate composition: Provides excellent dimensional stability, durability, and structural rigidity under varying conditions.
  • Non-combustible performance: Classified to A1 under BS EN 13501-1, ensuring full compliance for use in façade and fire-rated systems.
  • Moisture and weather resistant: Maintains strength and flatness when exposed to moisture or changing site conditions during installation.
  • Versatile sheathing use: Suitable for both steel and timber frame construction behind cladding or rainscreen façades.
  • Smooth surface finish: Accepts coatings, membranes, or insulation systems without surface preparation.
  • Impact and edge strength: Resists damage during handling, fixing, and service life for reliable façade performance.
  • Low movement characteristics: Reduces risk of cracking or joint stress under thermal or humidity variation.
  • Board size 2400mm x 1200mm x 12mm: Provides optimal coverage with fewer joints, improving façade continuity.


Applications

  • External sheathing: Forms a stable backing layer behind rainscreen cladding or ventilated façades.
  • Timber and steel frame walls: Provides a fire-resistant substrate for structural framing systems.
  • High-rise and commercial buildings: Used in applications requiring non-combustible external wall linings.
  • Modular and offsite construction: Ideal for factory-assembled wall panels due to dimensional accuracy.
  • Internal fire protection: Can be used where internal partitions require Class A1 fire-rated performance.


Installation Guidance

  • Fixing: Secure using corrosion-resistant screws suitable for calcium silicate boards, following manufacturer spacing guidelines.
  • Support framing: Ensure adequate structural support with framing centres designed to prevent board deflection.
  • Joint treatment: Leave appropriate expansion gaps and seal joints according to system design or façade specification.
  • Handling: Lift and store flat on level supports to avoid edge chipping and surface stress.
  • Cutting: Use a fine-toothed saw or power tool with dust extraction; always wear appropriate PPE.
  • Weather protection: Protect installed boards prior to cladding installation to maintain dry conditions.


Compliance & Performance

  • Material specification: Autoclaved calcium silicate reinforced with mineral fibres and fillers.
  • Fire classification: A1 non-combustible under BS EN 13501-1.
  • Moisture resistance: Suitable for external sheathing in ventilated wall systems; not intended as a weatherproof finish.
  • Thermal performance: Low thermal conductivity contributes to energy-efficient wall systems.
  • Dimensional stability: Maintains flatness and integrity under changes in temperature and humidity.
  • Important note: Install in accordance with RCM guidelines and façade manufacturer specifications to ensure full compliance with building regulations.
