What is fibre cement?

Fibre cement, or Fibre Reinforced Cement (FRC), is a versatile building material developed by James Hardie in the early 1980s. Fibre cement is a composite material made of cement reinforced with cellulose fibres.
 
James Hardie fibre cement products are a mixture of:

  • Cellulose fibre: acts as a filler. From plantation grown Radiate Pine trees.
  • Portland Cement: binds the ingredients. Made with limestone, clay, and iron.
  • Sand: creates all weather performance and resilience.
  • Water: dissolves the wood pulp; activates and hardens the cement.


Plus a small amount of other chemical additives to help the process, or provide structure with particular characteristics.

Fiber cement products are resistant to water, mold, insect damage, rot and deformation.
Fiber cement is long-lasting, UV-resistant and resistant to crumbling
The material is medium-density fiber cement, therefore it is elastic and does not break in case of construction movements.
Due to its flexible composition, its assembly is particularly fast using the nailing method.
The material is light and easy to cut with a guillotine.
The range of products offered in Latvia is particularly resistant to ice and the harsh seaside climate, as it has been tested in Canada for more than 100 years.
