In most cases, exterior sheathing boards do not fail because the material is weak — they fail because they were installed incorrectly.
Boards crack, absorb moisture, warp, delaminate, or even collapse behind the façade
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
