Fiber cement board (FCB) is increasingly recognized for its use in furniture applications, moving beyond its traditional role as a building and cladding material. Its unique composition of cement, cellulose fibers, and sand/silica provides several advantages that make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor furniture.
Here is a breakdown of its primary applications in furniture and the benefits it offers:
Furniture Applications
Fiber cement board can be used to create various types of furniture, often lending a modern, industrial, or minimalist aesthetic.
| Application Type | Specific Furniture Examples | Key Use of FCB |
| Outdoor Furniture | Dining tables, coffee tables, benches, seating units, planters, outdoor kitchen cabinets/bases. | Its exceptional weather and moisture resistance make it ideal for pieces exposed to the elements. |
| Indoor Furniture | Kitchen countertops, cabinet back panels/liners, shelving units, desks, commercial furniture (e.g., retail displays, reception desks). | Used for its fire resistance, durability, and ability to achieve a sleek, industrial, or stone-look finish. |
| Decorative & Custom Pieces | Feature elements on walls/partitions that integrate with built-in furniture, custom-molded pieces. | FCB can be shaped and molded, offering design flexibility that is not possible with solid stone or traditional wood. |
