High-rise façades are scrutinized for fire performance because flame spread on the exterior envelope can endanger occupants and compromise structural integrity. Exterior sheathing boards are

Modular and prefabricated building systems demand materials that are not only strong and durable but also dimensionally stable, lightweight, and compliant with global fire and energy regulations

During construction, it is common for exterior sheathing boards to be installed before the final façade or cladding system is applied. This raises a critical question for contractors and project managers

Permanent formwork systems are increasingly preferred over traditional removable formwork because they remain integrated into the structure, adding long-term durability, fire protection, and aesthetic or functional value.

Fire safety is one of the most critical challenges in modular construction. Unlike conventional concrete buildings, modular and prefabricated structures rely heavily on panelized wall systems, where incorrect material selection can significantly increase fire spread risk

Container homes are rapidly growing in popularity as modular, durable, and modern living solutions. To turn a steel container into a comfortable and safe living environment, selecting the right cladding and lining material is critical.

As demand for zero-energy and high-performance modular buildings increases, selecting the right building envelope materials becomes critical. While fiber cement boards are widely

Fiber cement boards are often treated as non-structural materials — but in certain façade, flooring, and modular applications, their load-bearing performance must be carefully evaluated before approval

hoosing the right fixing system is critical when installing fiber cement boards. While the material is durable and stable, using the wrong screws or fasteners can cause cracks, surface damage, water ingress, or even system failure over time..
