How much does non-combustible fiber-cement subfloor cost?
Direct answer: JARA High Performance Subfloor — a non-combustible (ASTM E-136), UL R15140 classified fiber-cement structural subfloor — starts at $74 per 4×8 panel (about $2.31/SF), delivered duty-paid (DDP) to a main US base port in full-container (40HQ) quantities. It is an indicative starting price; the final delivered price is confirmed by quote.

What the delivered (DDP) price includes
- Import duty paid, delivered to a main US base port
- Ocean freight and US customs clearance
- Inland delivery within 50 miles of the port (beyond that, additional freight)
- Full-container (40HQ) pricing; smaller quantities change the per-panel freight
- Standard unloading time (overtime/detention not included)
Made-to-order supply ships direct from the factory, so plan for roughly a 3–4 week door-to-door delivery — there is no US-warehouse markup in the price.
Estimating your project
Each 4×8 panel covers 32 square feet, so a quick estimate is panels ≈ floor area (SF) ÷ 32. At $74 per panel, a 10,000 SF floor is about 313 panels. Use the calculator on the homepage for a panel count, then request a delivered price for your exact quantity and US port of entry.
