Building products maker Boral has reaffirmed its full-year guidance, saying performance at its largest division - construction materials and cement - has been in line with expectations.

The company had predicted, at the time of its half-year results in February, that full-year underlying earnings before interest and tax for the division would be marginally better than 2015.

Boral booked net profit for the first six months of the fiscal year of $136.6 million, up 31 per cent from the previous year.
