FIBER CEMENT BOARD
Call us for the best price
Fiber cement boards consist of a composite material comprising of reinforced fibres, cement, sand, and silica.Fiber cement boards provide non-combustible properties, rendering them suitable for a diverse range of applications. Various thicknesses and sizes are available for these materials, enabling them to be cut, moulded, and placed in a manner akin to conventional wood. These entities exhibit a significant degree of resistance to fire, water, moisture, and heat.
Fiber cement boards are very resistant to stress-related cracking or breaking because of how they are made. The board is made of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. The cement and sand give the board a strong, fire-resistant base, while the cellulose fibers strengthen the board's structure. Also, these materials are resistant to termite infection and don't break down or fall apart when exposed to rain
Fiber cement boards are used in both exterior and interior building construction for a variety of purposes, such as wall cladding, fake ceilings, drywall partitions, flooring, furniture, and gates.
BENEFITS
FIRE RESISTANT
Fiber cement boards are highly fire-resistant. The mix of fiber-reinforced cement and cement makes these boards highly fire-resistant in nature. So, fiber cement board is the perfect building material.
ECO FRIENDLY
Fiber Cement Boards don't contain asbestos and are environmentally safe. They pose no damage to the environment or to human health because they don't release any dangerous chemicals while being installed.
TERMITE-RESISTANT
Fiber cement boards are having excellent Termite resistance properties.
WEATHER RESISTANT
Fiber cement boards have a high level of resistance to heat, moisture, and water. Gypsum boards can be replaced with these because they are entirely weatherproof and can be installed externally.
STRONG AND DURABLE
Fiber Cement Boards have an exceptionally long lifespan. They are made from cellulose fibers, sand, and cement and serve as sustainable building materials as well as ones that withstand weather, wear, and termite infestation.
SOUND AND THERMAL INSULATION
Fiber cement boards provide high sound & thermal insulation properties.
External Cladding
Fiber Cement Boards are highly resistant to water, moisture, and heat. Low-maintenance and highly resistant to decay, fire, impact, moisture damage, water, and termites make fibre cement boards an excellent exterior wall cladding material.
Internal Wall Lining
These Boards are suitable for internal wall linings in both residential and commercial spaces, including living rooms, corridors, bathrooms, etc. It can be applied to timber, light gauge G.I., and steel-framed dwellings.
Drywall Partitions
Fiber cement boards can be used for Drywall Partitions in both residential and commercial settings. Compared to Gypsum board partitions, they are considerably more durable, dependable, and low-maintenance. They can also be used to construct partitions for floors that do not support weight.
False Ceiling
The use of fiber cement boards in the construction of artificial ceilings for living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and offices is an excellent alternative. In contrast to Gypsum Board, they are naturally robust and resilient. They are extremely durable and require minimal maintenance.
Sound proofing
These boards stop sound from passing through the false ceiling or partition when they are combined with an infill insulation material like mineral rockwool or fiber glasswool insulation. Within the room, the sound is kept. Being the perfect option, it may be used in conference rooms, theaters, home theaters, recording studios, and more.
Mezzanine Flooring
Fiber cement boards are a common material for mezzanine floors. They are also resistant to rot, bugs, mold, and bacteria. Fiber cement boards are gray with a sanded surface. The cement in the boards makes them more durable and waterproof. They're also resistant to moisture and pests.
