Dry Construction is synonym for efficiency and sustainability. Dry Construction Dry construction is a building technology that utilises composite boards installed over metal or timber subconstruction. It is often used to build exterior walls (claddings), interior walls (partitions), ceilings, floors and some other applications. The cost effectiveness, strength, durability, design flexibility, adaptability, recyclability and sustainability are just some of the many advantages of dry construction over brick and mortar. It not only makes good economic sense to choose the dry construction...

Kalsi is the brand name of our fibre cement boards and planks.
