SIG - Fiber Cement Boards
SIG - Fiber Cement Boards are made from a mix of cement, cellulose fiber and fire resistant fillers on Hatschek machines. SIG - Fiber Cement Boards have an excellent resistance against fire, termite and moisture which makes them an ideal material for varying applications.
SIG - Fiber Cement Boards can be used in historical renovations, where other cladding materials are not allowed. They are also environment friendly as they are made from natural cellulose fibers and are completely non asbestos.
Advantages
- Fire and Moisture Resistant
- Doesn't warp or fade
- Withstands ultraviolet rays
- Impenetrable by insects and birds
- Doesn't dent or bump under direct impact
- Won't get brittle in cold temperatures
- Long life cuts down repair & maintenance costs
- No asbestos, formaldehydes or harmful chemicals
Application
Fiber Cement Boards are mostly used for Internal and External Wall cladding, wall partitions, mezzanine flooring, Roof Underlay, False Ceiling, Office cubical partitions, Fixed Wardrobes, Kitchen cabinets, Duct Covering.
Fiber cement boards are a good alternative for Plywood for better fire protection and longer durability
Board Performance
Thermal Conductivity: SIG Fiber Cement Boards are test for 0.21 W/mK for 6mm thick board.
Effect of Temperature: SIG Fiber Cement Boards are not recommended to be stored in temperature above 500 for prolonged period.
Effect of condensation: SIG Fiber Cement Boards are vapor permeable. If vapor condenses on the surface, the board will retain its strength.
