TrueColor
Abraded
Mechanically abraded surface. Pronounced, tactile mineral appearance.
Through-coloured
TrueColor
Colour throughout the board. Three architectural surface expressions.
What it is
Skanfas TrueColor is a high-density, through-coloured fibre cement façade panel. Colour is integrated into the board body rather than applied as an opaque surface paint. Water-repellent treatment (WR) is spray-applied to both faces and all edges as standard, and can be omitted only for an approved project or processing requirement.
Expressions
TrueColor
Refined
Controlled refined surface. Cleaner and more even mineral appearance.
TrueColor
Authentic
Natural production surface. Natural fibre-cement character and variation.
Colour
Frosted Marble
Colour names are the current collection. Swatches on screen are not a substitute for material. Natural variation is inherent to through-coloured fibre cement. Final colour and surface approval must be based on current physical Skanfas samples.
The board
TrueColor
The finish strip stays in place. The turnable board loads only after you open it. It shows face, thickness and edge from that strip. It is not a CAD model.
Finish strip from the 2026 image set. Not a CAD model. The thickness is a geometric study, not a measured sample.
Formats

- 1220 × 3050 mm
1220 × 3050 mm is in the target range. 1220 × 2500 mm is a target size whose commercial supply is still being confirmed with the supplier.

Reserved frames are empty on purpose. The finish strips already delivered are not requested again. Send a new photograph in sRGB, as JPG or WebP, at the size named on the frame, with no watermark. Vivid, Rough and Heavy-Duty still need a face photograph. Skanfas confirms the rights before a picture is published.

- Declaration of Performance
- X009 · 3 April 2026
Declared density and mechanical resistance are taken from DoP X009. Durability items are declared Pass in DoP X009; cycle descriptions follow the 2026 datasheet reference to Intertek 210519224GZU-001 for 9 mm and 15 mm. Values from different assessment bases are not interchangeable. Thermal conductivity is not declared.
Use
Where it is specified
Ventilated façade panels where the colour is part of the board, not a paint film.
Abraded, Refined and Authentic are appearance references. Each colour and surface is confirmed with physical samples.
Water-repellent treatment is spray-applied to both faces and all edges as standard, and can be omitted for an approved project or processing requirement.
Fabrication
Factory cut-to-size, drilling and machining are available from Skanfas.
Fabrication
For site sawing and drilling, use suitable fibre-cement blades and bits with dust extraction, and remove dust immediately.
Fabrication
Seal every site-cut edge and site-drilled hole before installation with the Skanfas-approved clear edge-protection system.
Fabrication
Design the substructure, fixing pattern, ventilation cavity and fasteners to the applicable Skanfas installation manual, project-specific structural design and local regulations.
Fabrication
Store panels dry, flat, supported and protected. Install dry panels only.
Fabrication
For the most uniform façade, use compatible production batches on each elevation.
