Fiber Cement Boards | Hotels, commercial buildings | Fire Resistance: Class A (EN 13501) ▲ (Exceeds industry standard Class B) Material: Non-asbestos fiber cement (EN 14582) Density: 2500 kg/m³ (Base) ▲ 2800 kg/m³ (Advanced) (Enhanced structural support) Surface: Wooden (ASTM C1063) | High fire resistance, durable, customizable surfaces, non-asbestos safety | Higher cost, heavier than alternatives, requires careful handling due to weight |
Gypsum Boards | Interior walls, ceilings | Fire Resistance: Type X (EN 13501 Class B) Density: 900-1200 kg/m³ (Lightweight for easy handling) | Lightweight, easy to cut, cost-effective | Poor fire resistance without treatment, moisture sensitive, less durable |
Plywood Panels | Flooring, temporary structures | Thickness: 6-25mm (ISO 3500) Material: Cross-laminated wood (Reduces warping) | Flexible, cost-effective, versatile | Susceptible to moisture, warping, limited lifespan without treatment |
Insulation Panels | Wall/roof insulation, temporary | Thermal Resistance: R-5 (ISO 8301) (Blocks 90% heat transfer) Material: EPS (ASTM C578) Corrugated edges for interlocking (Secure fit without gaps) | Lightweight, easy installation, excellent thermal insulation, durable | Lower fire resistance, not structural, requires protective cladding |
PVC Boards | Kitchens, bathrooms | Waterproof (ASTM D471) (Resists 48hr water immersion) Thickness: 3-6mm (ISO 3126) UV Resistance (ASTM D4303) (Withstands 1000hrs UV exposure) | Waterproof, chemical-resistant, low maintenance, UV-resistant | Poor thermal insulation, may degrade in sunlight, less durable over time |
Metal Sheets | Roofs, exterior cladding | Galvanized Steel (ASTM A653) (Prevents rust for 20+ years) Thickness: 0.5-1.2mm (Balances weight and strength) | High durability, fire-resistant, weatherproof | High cost, requires skilled installation, prone to denting/corrosion |
