Rising Adoption of Cement Board in Construction Sector Fuels North America Cement Board Market
Durability is one of the most desirable qualities of cement board. Cement boards, and panels typically outlast vinyl siding and other alternative products in lifespan. Within 10 to 15 years, vinyl siding can show signs of aging, whereas cement board can last up to 30 to 50 years or more. Further, in cement production, carbon dioxide is a byproduct. However, manufacturing vinyl siding containing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) produces more carbon dioxide than cement production. Moreover, vinyl siding off-gases throughout its lifetime as it occupies a space landfill. Hence, cement board siding is a greener alternative to vinyl siding.Cement board products do not require frequent repainting as it holds paint well. Also, they do not dent unlike steel siding. Cement board products stand stronger in moisture and leaks than gypsum boards. These products possess excellent moisture-absorbing and drying properties, making them resistant to weather changes.
Cement board products are fireproof, insect resistant, and perform well in natural disasters. The products have good sound insulation properties suitable for building good quality and long-lasting homes. Further, cement board products are available in various types such as fiber cement board and cement bonded particle board. They are also available in baked-on, prefinished colors that do not require painting. Owing to the growing awareness about these benefits of cement board products compared to other substitute products, they are increasingly used in flooring, furniture making, and wall cladding, which drives the North America cement board market growth.
