100% Asbestos Free Fiber Cement Board

Introduction

High Density and Strength fiber cement board is a high-quality calcium silicate architectural board reinforced with selected cellulose fibers and fillers. It is 100% free from asbestos, sepiolite, inorganic fibers or formaldehyde. The board is versatile and suitable for general use of internal and direct weathering applications when used in conjunction with external grade texture finish or another surface coating in new construction or refurbishment projects. It is an economical, non-combustible building board material to replace traditional concrete/clay block or cement-bonded particle board for the construction of non-load bearing elements. Unlike most plywood, cement-bonded particle boards, gypsum boards or magnesium boards, fiber cement board is lightweight, strong, moisture-resistant, will not warp, swell or decay in the wet area.

Installation

Fiber cement board can be easily cut on site by using a sharp fine-toothed panel saw or hacksaw. Place tiles face down on a clean, smooth surface for cutting. When power sawing and sanding, nuisance dust levels may need to be controlled. In order not to damage the finishes of Fiber cement tiles; It is recommended that the installer should wear gloves to lay the tiles. For better acoustic and thermal insulation performance, a layer of mineral wool or fiberglass can be laid on top of the Fiber cement tiles or panels.
