The benefits of using fibre cement board cladding. Sarson Building Services - High Quality Builders in Chichester, Selsey and Arundel.
Fibre cement cladding provides a number of benefits that other materials struggle to achieve and we look the main advantages here.
Durability
Fibre cement is a long-lasting material that provides guaranteed protection against the elements, especially coastal weather, which makes it ideal for cladding, roofing sheets and much more. Not only that but it is also fire, impact and insect resistant allowing it to stay in fantastic condition for many years.
Crack management
Unlike wood, plasctic/PVC or vinyl, fibre cement cladding will not crack, warp or swell over time with the changing of the elements. Once the material has been set then its density will not change due to excess heat or moisture penetration. Added to its mould and moisture resistance this ensures the material will not deteriorate due to damp or similar water-based issues.
Low maintenance
One of the best benefits of fibre cement cladding is the minimal amount of maintenance required to keep it in good condition. Once the material has been installed, it does not have to be repainted at any point and can easily be cleaned using a simple combination of soap and water.
Eco-friendly
A key requirement on any new build or property renovation, fibre cement is also extremely environmentally friendly. The cellulose fibre is sourced from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) with only sand, cement, water and a small number of additives added to the mixture. Lower levels of toxicity produce less dust which makes the working environment better for everyone present.
Quick installation
This is why more people are turning towards fibre cement cladding, as it significantly cuts down on the installation time, saving money across the build. The material is also light to handle and manoeuvre allowing it to be in position quickly and securely in a minimum amount of time.
Colour choices
Cement board cladding is available in a range of colours.
