Fiber cement boards are widely used in façades, external sheathing, dry construction, modular buildings, and rainscreen systems. They are known for their durability, dimensional stability, and resistance to moisture when used correctly.
Installing fiber cement boards is not difficult when the site team follows the correct sequence. However, small mistakes can become difficult to correct once the wall is closed, covered, finished, painted, or handed over. That is why a clear fiber cement board installation checklist is useful before the next trade begins work.
Windows and doors are some of the most important areas in any wall or façade system. They interrupt the surface of the wall, create edges, expose joints, and often become weak points if they are not detailed correctly. This is why detailing fiber cement boards around windows and doors needs care.
