Fibre cement sheets can be used on a wide range of buildings, including agricultural buildings, industrial buildings, commercial buildings, and residential buildings. The versatility and durability of fibre cement make it a suitable choice for many different types of buildings and roofing applications.
Agricultural buildings, such as barns, stables, and sheds, can benefit from the natural ventilation, corrosion resistance, and fire resistance of fibre cement roofing. Industrial buildings, such as factories and warehouses, can also use fibre cement roofing to protect against the elements and provide a long-lasting roofing solution.
Commercial buildings, such as office buildings and retail stores, can use fibre cement roofing to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the building, as well as provide protection against the weather. Residential buildings, such as houses and apartment buildings, can also benefit from the durability and versatility of fibre cement roofing.
Fibre cement sheets are building materials that are commonly used for roofing and cladding applications. They are made from a mixture of cement, sand, and cellulose fibres, which gives them a number of useful properties. Some of the key properties of fibre cement sheets include:
- Strength and durability: The combination of cement, sand, and cellulose fibres in fibre cement sheets gives them a high level of strength and durability. This makes them resistant to impact, weathering, and other forms of damage, which can extend the life of the roof or cladding.
- Fire resistance: Fibre cement sheets are non-combustible, which means that they do not burn easily. This makes them a good choice for buildings that need to meet fire safety standards or are located in areas with a high risk of fire.
- Resistance to corrosion: Fibre cement sheets are resistant to corrosion, which means that they do not rust or deteriorate when exposed to moisture. This can extend the life of the roof or cladding and reduce the need for maintenance.
- Low thermal conductivity: Fibre cement sheets have low thermal conductivity, which means that they do not easily transfer heat. This can help to regulate the temperature inside a building, reducing the need for heating and cooling systems.
- Acoustic insulation: Fibre cement sheets have good acoustic insulation properties, which means that they can block out loud noises. This can make a building more comfortable and reduce the impact of noise pollution.
- Aesthetic appeal: Fibre cement sheets are available in a range of styles and colours, which allows for aesthetic customization to suit the design of a building. This can enhance the appearance of the building and provide a more attractive roofing or cladding solution.
Overall, the properties of fibre cement sheets make them a versatile and reliable building material for roofing and cladding applications.

WHY CHOOSE FIBRE CEMENT OVER METAL?
The key aspect on why you would choose fibre cement over metal is that it is far more durable. Unlike fibre cement, metal corrodes and rusts overtime whilst not being able to absorb water which primarily causes problems with condensation.
When you look to find a roofing solution, fibre cement has many benefits over metal making it sustainable, durable and requires no maintenance in the long run.
- Resistant to rust, rot and corrosion
- Minimises condensation
- High level of insulation due to the sheets thickness
- Sound proofing
