Installed by Side-Pro Exteriors across Seattle, Bellevue and Tacoma
Cembrit board is on walls all over this region. What has changed is the name on the invoice.
Cembrit is a European fiber cement manufacturer whose range — through-colored and coated facade boards, corrugated sheet and slate — has been consolidated into Swisspearl Group. As of August 2026, cembrit.com issues a redirect to Swisspearl’s North American site, and the UK domain does the same. The material has not gone anywhere. The branding has.
What that means in practice: where a specification, a schedule or an older drawing calls for a Cembrit board, the right move is to establish the current Swisspearl equivalent before anything is ordered, rather than assume a straight substitution. Swisspearl does not publish a rename table, so we go back to the manufacturer for the specific product instead of guessing from a similar-sounding name.
That matters most on repair and partial re-clad work. If you have an existing Cembrit facade in Seattle, Bellevue or Tacoma and you are replacing damaged boards or extending an elevation, matching the existing thickness, texture and color is the job. Bring us a board and we will identify it properly before we quote.
Where the specification is open rather than inherited, we would generally point you at the current Swisspearl range or at EQUITONE. Both publish current North American technical documentation, which makes them easier to stand behind.

We would rather set expectations properly than run a page that pretends otherwise. There is no separate Cembrit website, catalog or warranty document any more — the domains redirect and the technical documentation sits under Swisspearl, which itself publishes no warranty. We verified those redirects ourselves rather than taking them from a trade article. If you have a Cembrit facade to match or extend, bring us the board. If you are specifying new, we will quote the current equivalent and show you the data sheet it comes from.
