Cement boards are composed of different types of fibers and naturally occurring materials such as wool, wood fibers, bonded particles, wood strands, and others. Cement boards are majorly used in construction applications due to their longevity in the structures. These boards offers superior resistance to weather conditions, fire, and heavy winds. These properties make these ideal for exterior and partition walls, roofing, flooring, columns and beams, weatherboard, and cladding, facades, and acoustic and thermal insulation application.
Cement boards are combinations of cement, glass, aggregate, and fiber reinforcements that are formed into sheets and used as tile backing boards, and to build walls or floors. They can be nailed or screwed to steel or wood studs to create a substrate for vertical tiling. Cement boards can also be attached to plywood horizontally for tile floors, kitchen counters, and backsplashes. These hard, environmentally-stable materials are sometimes used on the exterior of buildings as a base for exterior plaster systems or even as the finishing system itself. Typically, cement boards are formed into 4-ft. x 8-ft. or 3-ft. x 5-ft. sheets with a thickness of 1/2 in. or 1/4 in.
Product specifications for cement boards include dimensional, mechanical, physical, and thermal characteristics. Length, width, and thickness are critical dimensions to consider. With regard to mechanical properties, cement boards differ in terms of compressive strength and modulus of rupture (MOR). Compressive or crushing strength is the maximum compressive load per unit cross-section that cement boards can withstand before mechanical failure or breakage occurs. MOR, flexural strength, or cross-strength is the maximum flexural strength that products can withstand before failure occurs.
Growing residential sector across the globe and increasing number of single-family homes in North America and Europe are key factor driving the market growth. Moreover, growing investment in construction sector is also expected to drive the global cement board market growth. Increasing application of cement board in wall partition in commercial and residential spaces is projected to offer lucrative growth opportunities over the forecast period.
On the other hand, environmental concerns related to the manufacturing of fiber cement boards and high cost of installation and maintenance are prime factors that are expected to hinder the market growth.
