Modern Facade Materials - The Fiber cement siding
Fiber cement siding — SHERA
SHERA Board is a non-asbestos fiber-cement product composed of Portland cement, cellulose fiber, and fine sand. Using a unique manufacturing process called an autoclave, the SHERA board acquires the strength, durability of cement, and easy workability of wood and dimensional stability. A non-combustible multi-purpose application fiber -cement flat panel, SHERA Board, comes with various thicknesses suitable for multiple applications; ceiling, wall, and floor. It can be used for both exterior and interior applications. SHERA Boards can perfectly be calibrated and then laminated or coated with other materials, e.g., wood veneer.
