Canite (also known as caneboard, pinboard, softboard) is a low density fibreboard panel made from sugar cane fibres. It is easy to handle, light weight and durable. Due to its low environmental footprint it is considered a sustainable building product. It may be used without finish, painted or rendered with natural lime-based products.[1] It is commonly used for
- Interior wall and ceiling lining
- Pin boards, bulletin board
- Office partitions
- Protective covering boards
- Sound isolation and reflected sound reduction
- Door fillings
- Stucco background
- Soundproofing under floorboards
- Fire lighter (saturated with paraffin)
In Australia, canite is commonly sold in 2400 x 1200 mm panels. Typical thickness is 10–13 mm. Typical density is 350 kg/m3.[citation needed]
