Canite, also known as caneboard, pinboard or softboard, is a low-density fibreboard panel made from sugar cane fibres. It is easy to handle, lightweight and relatively durable. Because of its low environmental footprint it is considered a sustainable building product. It can 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 and bulletin boards
- Office partitions
- Protective covering boards
- Sound insulation and reflected sound reduction
- Door fillings
- Stucco base
- Soundproofing under floorboards
- Fire lighter (when saturated with kerosene)
In Australia, canite is commonly sold in 2400 x 1200 mm panels. They are typically 10–13 mm thick, with a density of 350 kg/m3.[citation needed]
