9mm Cement Board

The Cement Board in question is typically available in a thickness of 9mm. Standard dimensions may vary, but common sizes include 1200mm x 2400mm sheets.

Cement board is primarily used in areas exposed to moisture, such as behind tile in showers and tub surrounds, as well as for exterior applications like siding and backer board for stucco.

Cement board is highly resistant to moisture and mould, making it an ideal choice for wet areas. Its non-combustible properties also enhance fire resistance compared to traditional drywall.

Yes, a cement board can be used as an underlayment for tile floors. It provides a stable base that minimizes movement and cracking of the tiles above.

To cut cement boards, you will need a utility knife or a specialized cement board cutter. A circular saw with a diamond blade can also be used for larger cuts.

Yes, it is recommended to use thin-set mortar or specific adhesives designed for cement board installation to ensure proper bonding and performance.

When installing cement board, it should be secured with appropriate screws at specified intervals, joints should be staggered, and seams should be taped with fibreglass mesh tape and covered with thin-set mortar to create a seamless surface.

The 9mm cement board typically measures 2400mm in length and 1200mm in width, covering an area of 2.88m². The weight of the board is approximately 34.56kg, making it manageable for installation.

The 9mm cement board is classified as A1 non-combustible, meaning it does not contribute to fire propagation. This rating ensures enhanced safety in construction applications, particularly in buildings over 18 meters tall.

Yes, the board is suitable for wet areas as a tile backer. Its water-resistant properties make it ideal for use behind ceramic tiles in bathrooms and kitchens.

The 9mm cement board can be used in various applications including flooring, roofing, sheathing for metal and timber frames, and as infill walling for Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) among others.

With a density of approximately 1380kg/m³, the board provides excellent strength and stability while maintaining workability similar to wood. This density contributes to its durability and impact resistance.

Yes, the board can be easily cut, drilled, and nailed just like wood, allowing for straightforward installation on various frame types including lightweight steel and timber frames.

The minimum expected lifespan of the 9mm cement board is around 30 years under normal conditions. Its durability makes it a long-lasting choice for construction projects.
