Fiber cement board is a building material made of Portland cement reinforced with cellulose fibers and sand. Fiber cement boards is used for interior and exterior spaces that require water resistant boards as well as moisture and fire ratings. Did you know there is a difference between Fiber Cement board (FCB) and Cement Board (CB)? Cement board does not contain reinforced fibers and they tend to break easily when mishandled but still offer the same purpose as Fiber Cement Board. FCB is more strong because of the reinforced fibers and bonds well with FCB screws.

Fiber Cement Board Applications

Large fiber cement boards are heavy and requires at least two people to carry from one point to the other. Thin fiber cement cladding is fragile before installation and must be handled carefully because 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.

Fiber Cement board can be fixed on metal stud or timber framing using special FCB self drilling screws. After installation, you can fix tiles or paint on its surface depending with your choice of finishing

Some of the Fiber Cement uses are;

• Ceiling applications
• Exterior cladding
• Interior Partitioning
• Exterior partitioning
• Bathroom construction
• Wet area applications
• Flooring and walling

Cutting Fiber Cement Board

Fiber Cement Sheet can be cut to size in three ways.

• Thinner sheets can be scored with a heavy-duty cutting blade and snapped
• Using a hand- or electric-powered “fibro cutter”
• A mechanical saw using a diamond blade (masonry blade) is needed to cut thicker and denser sheets

When hanging fiber cement sheets, an approximately 5-millimetre (0.2 in) gap is required between end-joints (cladding seams), later to be filled with joint filler made for fiber cement siding. .

Fiber cement surfaces can be painted with the required paint if exterior weatherproof paint should be used. Same process to be applied for the interior sections. You can also fix tiles on the fiber cement boards
