How to Install Fiber Cement Planks?
Fiber Cement planks are installed using corrosion resistant screws. They have very little movement under thermal stress but are installed with a slight gap. This gap is filled with a Silicone sealant. The sealed gaps are sealed like how a normal gypsum board is sealed, or rather, they are taped. Although fiber cement planks are taped with fiberglass tapes which is what makes these boards water resistant. This combined with impermeable finish makes cement boards stable and durable!
