What Is a Cement Board?
A cement board is a construction material primarily used for wall substrates and is composed of cement.
Cement, a powdered substance produced by calcining inorganic materials like limestone and silica, serves as a key component in mortar and concrete when mixed with water. Cement boards are manufactured by shaping and solidifying cement into board form, with some variants incorporating materials like glass fibers to enhance strength.
Thanks to their inorganic composition, cement boards exhibit minimal expansion from water absorption and high resistance to weathering, making them durable construction materials with excellent weather and mold resistance. They find common applications in areas like balconies, school entrances, pool floors, and exterior walls.
Furthermore, their flexibility allows for easy cutting and bending, making them suitable substrates even for complex structures such as exterior walls with curved surfaces.
