High impact strength, lasting durability, and easy installation of fiber cement board. Fiber cement cladding is a very heavy product and requires two people to carry the uncut sheets. Thin fiber cement cladding is fragile before installation and must be handled carefully because it is prone to chipping and breakage if improperly handled. Once the product is cut it may again require two people to install ? one to hold the sheet flush against stud work and the other to nail the product in place.

Cutting fiber cement sheeting:

Sheeting can be cut to size in three ways.

• Thinner sheets can be scored with a heavy-duty cutting blade and snapped
• Using a hand- or electric-powered ?fibro cutter? (Australian term)
• A mechanical saw using a diamond blade (masonry blade) is needed to cut thicker and denser sheets

When hanging fiber cement sheets, an approximately 5-millimeter (0.2 in) gap is required between end joints (cladding seams), later to be filled with caulking made for fiber cement siding. Metal 150 mm ? 150 mm (6 in ? 6 in) step flashing is required behind overlapping seams to prevent sheathing damage from water. Hot-dipped galvanized roofing nails are used to secure the sheets. Some caution must be exercised to properly ventilate areas where fiber cement siding (FCS) is being cut; long-term exposure to the silica dust generated during the installation process can cause?silicosis. Fiber cement cladding can be painted or stained before or after installation.?For areas of exposure, weatherproof paint must be used. Once the product is fixed the joints are usually covered with timber battens and the entire wall surface is painted.

Gyproc? Firestop Board is a gypsum-based Interior Wall & Ceiling product used in areas where High Fire Resistance Performance is required to restrict fire from passing from one side of the wall to the other side. Gyproc? Firestop Board?s gypsum core incorporates glass fibers & other fire-resistive additives that are encased & firmly bonded to strong pink-colored paper liners Gypsum Ceiling Supplies Fire resistant Gypsum Boards in Kenya: Gypsum is approximately 21 percent by weight chemically combined water which greatly contributes to its effectiveness as a fire resistive barrier. When gypsum drywall is exposed to fire, the water is slowly released as steam, effectively retarding heat transmission. Fire-rated gypsum drywall is more fire resistant because it contains glass fiber reinforcement and other additives within its specially formulated gypsum core to help it hold up longer to fire exposure. Fire-resistant gypsum board is referred to as ?Type X? and must be third-party certified by an independent testing and listing agency to meet the fire performance requirements prescribed in the Standard Specification for Gypsum Board. Types of Fire-Resistant Gypsum Boards Type X fire-rated gypsum drywall that is 5/8 --inch (15.9mm) thick and installed on each side of nominal 2-inch x 4-inch (38x89mm) wood studs spaced 16-inch (400mm) o.c. or 3-5/8 inch (610 mm) steel studs spaced 24? o.c. has a minimum fire rating for the assembly of 1 hour, which is a typical requirement for many building codes. Type C fire-resistant gypsum board (sometimes referred to as Improved Type X) is similar in composition to Type X, except that it has more glass fiber reinforcement and other ingredients in the gypsum core that make its fire-resistive properties superior to Type X. It is available in 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) thicknesses. Fire-rated Type X Shaftliner is 1? (25.4 mm) thick and used in special Shaft wall and Area Separation Firewall assemblies. Local and Government building codes require the installation of fire-rated boards in areas such as furnaces and utility room walls for residential applications. Fire-rated drywall can also be installed in a basement or places where wood stoves might be used. This enhanced gypsum board is typically found on attached garage walls and ceilings that are adjacent to the main living area of the home. For commercial buildings, fire-rated gypsum drywall is specified for most of the building walls and ceilings to meet building code requirements for fire partitions and assemblies. These fire-rated partitions and assemblies provide life safety for the building occupants.
