Fiber Cement Boards

Cement boards are used because when compared to gypsum boards, they stand strong in the presence of moisture and leaks. Cement boards have excellent moisture absorbing and drying properties making them resistant to weather change as well. The only possible disadvantage of fiber cement boards is their weight and working cost. While the board itself costs as much as, if not more than plywood, working with these boards requires more labour, time and effort however the results are pleasing and require minimum maintenance.
