Fiber Cement Board: Types, Sizes, and Applications
1. Classification by Material
Fiber cement boards can be categorized based on their composition and manufacturing process:
By Fiber Type
Asbestos fiber cement boards
Synthetic fiber cement boards (e.g., cellulose, PVA fiber)
Hybrid fiber cement boards (asbestos + synthetic fibers)
By Cement Type
Ordinary Portland cement boards
Low-alkali cement boards (anti-efflorescence, ideal for interiors)
By Production Process
Common Product Types
Name (Abbreviation) Key Features Fiber-Reinforced Low-Alkali Board (TK Board) Moisture-resistant, crack-resistant, suitable for partitions & ceilings Asbestos-Free Large-Format Pressurized Board (NAFC Board) High strength, large panels, ideal for exteriors & structural use Asbestos-Free Lightweight Board (NAL Board) Lightweight, easy to install, used for interior walls Non-Combustible Fiber Cement Board A1 fire-rated, used in fireproof zones Asbestos Cement Pressure Board Traditional material, being phased out Glass Fiber Reinforced Cement (GRC) High flexibility, decorative applications

Asbestos-Free Large-Format Pressurized Board (NAFC Board)
Length (mm) Width (mm) Thickness (mm) 2400, 3000 1200 4–25 (customizable)
Other Key Sizes
Non-Combustible Board : 2440×1220mm, thickness 4–20mm (Eterboard up to 20mm)
GRC Board : Max 2700×1200mm, thickness 10–20mm (ideal for decorative designs)
3. Recommended Applications
Exterior/Structural Use : NAFC pressurized boards (thickness ≥8mm)
Interior Walls : TK or NAL boards (lightweight, easy to cut)
Fireproofing : Non-combustible boards (A1 fire rating)
Decorative Purposes : GRC boards (high flexibility for custom designs)
