Fiber cement was originally invented in the 19th Century as a man-made alternative to timber cladding. Since its creation, fiber cement has become an incredibly popular material in the construction industry, particularly for both roofing and siding. It is a highly versatile building material, and sees widespread use in agricultural, commercial and residential projects. But what benefits do fiber cement roofing sheets offer over other materials?
From their impressive strength and durability, to sustainability and fire safety, fibre cement roofing sheets boast many practical benefits.
Fully resistant to rot, mould, moss and algae, fibre cement roofing sheets are outstandingly resilient. Their robust construction ensures that the structure has no risk of warping, shrinkage or cracking due to thermal movement. Better still, unlike other roofing materials such as metal, fibre cement sheets will not rust, and are immune to fire or chemical damage, so there’s no need to worry about unexpected damage to your fibre cement roof.
Designed to be highly robust and resist nearly any problem that usually plagues roofing, fibre cement roof sheets require virtually no maintenance. If you want to keep your fibre cement roof looking as beautiful and performing as well as the day it was installed, all you’ll need to do is give it an occasional clean to remove excess dirt and debris. This is best done using soft sponges, water, and mild detergent.
Thanks to their impressive ability to repel water, fibre cement roofing sheets also offer brilliant resistance to the weather. This is largely thanks to the use of sand in their construction, which ensures resilience even in the face of extreme heat, cold, or storms. Furthermore, fibre cement sheets are also fully resistant to UV rays, with no risk of fading, discoloration or any damage when exposed to sunlight.
