Why we chose it
A quiet, fire-rated skin that ages well.
Dense, factory-finished fiber-cement panels form the outer wall of every Karlev ADU. Non-combustible, dimensionally stable, and colored through, so scratches never show a different substrate.
Non-combustible
Rated A1 for fire, a natural fit for wildfire-prone lots.
Dimensionally stable
Won't cup, split, or warp with humidity swings.
Color-through finish
Factory-baked pigment means no re-painting for 15+ years.
