Hi - does this product have a temperature specification? I'm looking for a panel that could be placed beside a gas cooker, to take (say) a hot frying pan, initially at 160degC, perhaps.

Thank you for your question!

The Cembrit Jutland 600mm x 600mm Fibre Cement Slate is not typically designed for direct contact with high temperatures like those near a gas cooker. Fibre cement slates are generally durable for external cladding applications but do not have a specific temperature tolerance provided in their specification for these types of high-heat scenarios. For applications near high temperatures or direct exposure to heat sources, we recommend using materials specifically designed for such conditions. You may want to consider alternatives more suitable for heat resistance, such as fire-resistant or heat-resistant cladding options. Please consult with a professional for precise recommendations based on your specific needs, and ensure that any materials used near high-heat sources comply with safety guidelines.
