It is easy to handle, lightweight and relatively durable in indoor use. 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, and 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 hollow core door filling stucco base soundproofing under floorboards fire lighter (when saturated with kerosene) In Australia, canite is commonly sold in 2400 x 1200 mm panels.
