Exterior Sheathing Boards in Retrofit and Facade Renewal Projects

Across Europe and many mature construction markets, a large percentage of the building stock is aging. Residential blocks, commercial buildings, schools, and public facilities constructed decades ago often fail to meet today’s expectations for energy efficiency, airtightness, fire safety, and long-term durability. As a result, retrofit and façade renewal projects have become a critical focus for architects, developers, and building owners.

Exterior Sheathing Boards in Timber Frame Construction: Key Design Principles

Timber frame construction has become one of the fastest-growing building methods across residential, commercial, and modular projects.

Thickness directly affects structural stability, airtightness, fire performance, durability, and long-term energy efficiency. Choosing the wrong thickness can lead to performance gaps, higher maintenance costs, or compliance issues.

How Exterior Sheathing Boards Improve Airtightness and Energy Efficiency

Airtightness has become one of the most critical performance requirements in modern buildings. As energy costs rise and regulations tighten, uncontrolled air leakage is no longer acceptable in residential, commercial, or industrial construction.

Exterior sheathing boards play a central role in improving airtightness and energy efficiency by forming a continuous,

Fiber Cement Boards in Retrofit Fire Upgrades of Existing Buildings

Across Europe and many developed markets, fire safety retrofitting has become one of the most urgent challenges in the built environment. Thousands of residential blocks, commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, and public facilities were constructed at a time when fire regulations were far less demanding than today.
