Introducing RAB™ sheathing board, the next generation weather defence air barrier by James Hardie.
With superior fire resistance, water-tightness and breathability, RAB Board sheathing helps you build to battle the elements.

RAB Board is an all in one airtight fibre cement rigid sheathing with an integrated water and air barrier.
