Fire safety is a key concern in modern construction. Choosing the right materials can help reduce fire risks and improve building safety. Fibre cement boards are widely used because of their strong fire-resistant properties. At Kantilal and Sons, we supply quality fibre cement boards suitable for safe residential and commercial construction.
What Is a Fibre Cement Board?
Fibre cement board is made from cement, cellulose fibres and mineral fillers. Cement gives the board its strength and fire resistance, while fibres add flexibility. Unlike wood-based boards, fibre cement boards do not burn easily.
How Fibre Cement Boards Resist Fire
Fibre cement boards are non-combustible materials. This means they do not catch fire or spread flames easily. When exposed to high heat, they act as a barrier and help slow down the spread of fire, providing valuable time for evacuation.
Fire Safety Benefits in Buildings
Using fibre cement boards improves overall fire safety in buildings. They reduce flame spread and limit smoke generation. Kantilal and Sons often recommends these boards for areas where safety standards are important, such as offices, hospitals and high-rise buildings.
Suitable Applications for Fire Safety
Fibre cement boards are commonly used in:
- wall partitions
- ceilings and false ceilings
- fire-rated walls
- commercial and industrial buildings
Their fire-resistant nature makes them suitable for both interior and exterior use.
Performance Compared to Other Boards
Compared to plywood or MDF, fibre cement boards offer much better fire resistance. Wood-based boards can ignite and spread fire, while fibre cement boards help contain it. This makes them a safer choice for modern construction projects.
Long-Term Safety and Durability
Fibre cement boards maintain their fire-resistant properties over time. They do not weaken easily and remain stable even after prolonged use. Boards supplied by Kantilal and Sons are known for consistent quality and performance.
