When we say modern and roomy it feels like a to-do list for constructing a new house. However, it’s possible to overlook a crucial component that really makes a difference: building materials. Brick-on-brick construction, reinforcing with wet cement, and waiting days for a wall to be completed are things of the past. Over time, ideas compete for techniques that reduce human effort.
Fiber Cement Boards are one such miraculous invention created for the construction business. FCBs, which are designed for all building applications, is quickly altering the face of construction.
Why are they the best option though?
Efficient and stunning
Fibre Cement Boards are becoming more and more well-liked due to their effective construction technique. It speeds up construction by five times, reducing labor costs, time, and overall project costs. Additionally accessible in lovely patterns and grades for uses like false ceilings, mezzanine floors, partitions, external cladding, and wall paneling, Fiber cement boards replace drywall and plastering like no other.
Higher stability and strength
It is made from a special combination of silica, cement, and cellulose fiber, offering the building industry a crucial advantage: flexibility. You might wonder why flexibility is important. The answer is that your building is subject to shock and fracture because it lacks flexibility.
The distinctive composition of FCBs not only makes your building less susceptible to damage from the outside, but the inclusion of cellulose fiber also strengthens it to last longer. This characteristic further strengthens the argument that FCBs are superior to brick walls, gypsum, plywood, and environmentally harmful wood alternatives.
All-season remedy
Every building is exposed to nature’s three most destructive elements: wind, water, and fire. Extreme weather changes might eventually cause greater damage even if they initially benefit your building.
Fiber cement boards are resistant to all kinds of weather damage. They are produced utilizing the Hatschek method and Exceptional-Pressure Steam Curing (HPSC) technology, and it provides high stability and strength throughout the year.
In contrast to the poor moisture compatibility of plywood and gypsum, the fiber cement board’s composition resists moisture deterioration and mildew. So what about those persistent problems with moss and moisture-induced disintegration? With fiber cement board, that won’t take place.

Protection against critters
Many people think that tropical countries always have pest problems. Additionally, because termite infestations never completely go away, seeing termites nibbling away at cupboards in the kitchen may be a real nightmare. The use of silica in fiber cement board is certified to repel insects, and create a safe area for you and not for the termites. The product is also ideal for all indoor and outdoor uses.
Fire-resistant
Fiber cement board keeps interiors 3-5° C colder than the outside temperature because it is a natural thermal insulator. For homes, businesses, and industrial facilities, using these boards as outside cladding is a much more effective way to maintain consistent temperatures throughout the summer. Additionally, it is approved as being fire-resistant and capable of containing flames for at least 2.5 hours.
Provides Quieter, and Cooler environments
Fiber cement board panels are developed for non-load-bearing wall partition applications with sound-absorbent capabilities, making them perfect for quiet living and noise-free workplaces. They are sound resistant and soak in sound like a sponge takes in water.
Assured durability
FCBs have a much longer lifespan than plywood, gypsum, or wood, remaining intact for future generations and having a lifespan of more than 50 years. Its molecular structure resembles a mesh and offers just enough flexibility to withstand the test of time. They retain a firmer surface to work with than gypsum boards because they are less permeable.
The distinctive attribute of these boards is that it guarantees flawless installation.

Environment friendly
Competitive materials are not as sustainable as fiber cement boards. It is constructed of less damaging organic components for the environment.
By purchasing a fiber cement product that covers 1500 square feet, you directly prevent the cutting down of 6 trees for construction purposes.
They conserve a tremendous amount of natural resources like soil and water used in conventional construction methods and are simple to install and relocate. They are also less likely to wind up in landfills.
While on the other hand, using bricks have drawbacks too
- Construction is time-consuming.
- Not applicable in high seismic zones.
- Bricks readily absorb water, so when they aren’t exposed to air it causes fluorescence.
- Little to No Tensile Strength.
- If bricks’ rough surfaces aren’t cleaned correctly, it may result to mold development
- Brick surfaces require a lot of work to clean.
- When a low-quality brick is exposed to the sun for an extended period of time, its color changes.
