Asbestos free fiber cement board.the size is 1220mm*2440mm the thickness is 3-30mm thickness.the size can be made according to your request.

Fibre Cement building boards and products are dimensionally stable, they also exhibit tremendous flexibilty without losing any of the inherent qualities for which the material is so highly acclaimed and accepted.

Fibre Cement products are manufactured for internal and external applications, wet area situations, acoustic, fire rated, structural and decorative purposes as well as flooring requirements.

This extremely versatile material is used throughout all forms of building construction including residential, commercial, industrial and institutional projects.

Fibre cement cladding is a very heavy product and requires two people to carry the uncut sheets. Thin fibre cement cladding is fragile before installation and must be handled carefully; it is prone to chipping and breakage if improperly handled.

Once the product is cut it may again require two people to install –One to hold the sheet flush against studwork  and the other to nail the product in place.

Cutting fibre cement cladding sheeting usually requires a mechanised saw or metal hand shears and sheets can be cut to size in three ways:

· Thinner sheets can be scored with a heavy duty cutting blade and snapped

· Purpose made “fibro cutter” (an Australian term)

· Thicker and denser sheets require cutting by a mechanical saw

Some caution must be exercised to properly ventilate areas where fiber cement siding (FCS) is being cut; long-term exposure to the silica dust generated during the installation process can cause  silicosis.

Corrugated Fiber Cement Roofing

The corrugated fiber cement boards are used for both roofing and siding.These panels are completely weatherproof, have a high

level corrosion resistance, and come in different corrugations and colors. As far as sustainability, these panels are maintenance

free and have a life expectancy of at least 50 years.

Corrugated fiber cement roofing are manufactured from a selected blend of Portland cement and water, while being reinforced with

a mixture of both natural and synthetic fibers. Corrugated fiber cement boards offer the following benefits for roofing or siding:Highly

cost effective weatherproofing

· Virtually maintenance free

· No rust, rot or corrosion

· Resistant to chemical attack

· Vapour permeability reduces condensation

· Excellent noise and thermal insulation

· Quick and easy to install and fix

· Wide product and color range

Eternit is the bigest manufacturer in the world, and its products are very famous.

Fibre cement is a main component of long-lasting building materials. The main application areas are roofing and cladding. The list below gives some common applications.
Internal cladding:

Wet room applications – tile backer boards
Fire protection
Partition walls
Window sills
Ceilingsand floors
External cladding:
Flat sheets as base and/or architectural facing
Flat sheets for e.g. wind shields, wall copings, and soffits

Whether you’re renovating your existing home or building from the ground up, your choice of  roofing  materials is an improtant  in construction. If you’ve decided upon shingles as opposed to tiles or metal, choose the environmentally-friendly option that suits your climate. If you are removing old shingles to make room for composites, solars, fiber cement or shake, check with your local solid waste authority to find out what recyclingoptions exist, or sell or donate intact tiles and shingles for salvage.

Fiber Cement

Fiber cement shingles mimic the look of more traditional roofing materials; look for products made from locally sourced cement and fiber, or recycled paper pulp. The finished product has the weight of a tile, but the look of a shingle. Some builders have questioned the  performance of fiber cement shingles in locations with severe temperature fluctuations, so check with your local building authority before you buy.

Wood

Wood is not the best option for your roof, environmentally speaking, because it requires the felling of trees and may require frequent replacement of individual shingles in damp areas. Wood is, however, a renewable resource. Some historic areas require wood shingles to maintain the authenticity of the home, so look for locally sourced wood certified sustainable by the Forest Stewardship Council — you’ll see the FSC stamp on the packaging.Although rare, wood shingles that are left untreated still resist rot if they’re made from naturally rot-resistant wood,such as cedar and cypress, so choose untreated shingles if you can find them.

So the fiber cement roof shingles is better than wood. About more information please visit www.hocre-board.com.

Modular homes is an emerging fast-growing segment in the home building industry. Modular homes are framed units which are erected in conformity with local building codes using precise and efficient construction technology. This technology uses fibre-cement sandwich panels for load-bearing wall and Anticorrosive Galvanized Iron (G.I.) joining strips (profiles) with fibre-cement boards for non-load bearing walls. The components with a few sawn hardwoods are integrated to make a hard
structure.

The Walls

The walls are made of fibre-cement sandwich panels, which are a permanent, rot proof, ...

Have you considered  cement board installation for your home? Help protect your walls from water damage with  cement board drywall.
