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.

Unlike standard drywall, which is prone to water penetration and damage,  cement board are designed to better endure some moisture exposure. While not waterproof,  cement board are moisture-resistant and often installed in areas of the home where occasional moisture is expected, such as bathrooms and basements.

Standard drywall is made of the mineral gypsum. Gypsum is mixed with water, starch and paper ...

Fibre cement board. A high performance cellulose fibre cement sheet manufactured with sand, cement, cellulose fibre and additives.

All of the above boards are also suitable for use in acoustic roofing applications, and Hocreboard  is also used extensively in acoustic floor applications.

Key Benefits Excellent weathering properties, high tensile strength, high MoE, smooth finish for paint, excellent acoustic performance. A very strong, versatile ...

Fiber cement board consists of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers that are manufactured in layers to form sheets of varying thicknesses. The boards are manufactured using a process called autoclaving, which uses high-temperature steam curing to form the board and to increase the strength and stability of the sand and cement. The cellulose fibers help to prevent cracking.

Cement board is a combination of cementand reinforcing fibers formed into 4 foot by 8 foot sheets (or 3 foot by 5 foot sheets),

1/4 to 1/2 inch thick that are typically used as a tilebacking board. Cement board can be nailed or screwed to wood or steel studs to

create a substrate for vertical tile and attached horizontally to plywood for tile floors,kitchen counters and backsplashes.

It can be used on the exterior of buildings as a base for exterior plaster systems and sometimes as the finish system itself.

Cement board adds impact resistance and strength to the wall surface as compared to water resistant gypsumboards.

Cement board is also fabricated in thin sheets with polymer modified cements to allow bending for curved surfaces.

Advantage

As a tile backing board, cement board has better long-term performance than paper-faced gypsum core products because it

will not mold, mildew or physically break down in the continued presence of moisture or leaks. Cement board is not actually

waterproof, but it is highly resistant to absorbing moisture and has excellent drying properties. In areas continually exposed to

water spray (i.e. showers) a waterproofing barrier is usually recommended behind the boards or as a trowel-applied product to the face of the boards behind the finish system.

Installation

Cement board is hung with corrosion resistant screws or ring-shank nail,Cement board has very little movement under thermal stress,

but the boards are usually installed with a slight gap at joints in shower pans, bathtubs, and each other. These joints are then filled with silicone sealantor the manufacturer’s taping compounds before applying a finish. The filled joints are taped like conventional gypsum

board, but with fiberglass tapes that provide additional water resistance. Combined with a water impermeable finish, cement board is a

stable, durable backing board.
