The disadvantages of paints are that they are not durable, they are prone to discoloration, and the appearance quality is usually not guaranteed. The disadvantage of veneer tiles is that the color is inconsistent and they tend to fall off. The craftsmanship of marble, granite and other stone finishes and aluminum plates is relatively complicated and expensive.

In contrast, the craft wall of fiber cement board has good integrity and no hollowing and cracking, which makes the wall more conducive to moisture-proof and leakage-proof, eliminating the need for traditional plastering and other wet operations, reducing the process and shortening the construction period. Save machinery costs, labor costs and management costs, and reduce maintenance costs in the later period.

V. Installation guideline

Our fiber cement boards are easy to install. It can be installed on the construction wall directly or on the stainless steel keel. Comparing with the traditional brick wall installation, it can save 50% labor cost and time cost.

1. Exterior wall installation

Fiber Cement Board(3)

(1) Fiber cement board preparation: according to the size and design requirements, installing the supporting aluminum accessories on the back of fiber cement board. Making cross line according to the vertical distance between the transverse keels and length of fiber cement board uniform size, then fixing supporting aluminum fasteners at the intersection, using 10 mm long and 4 mm thick stainless steel screws.

(2) Construction wall preparation: cleaning up the wall surface, and then marking out the position lines and partition lines of the steels according to the design drawings and actual needs.

(3) Wire hanging: vertical wire hanging should use the steel wire, with 8-10 kgs weight lower counterweight iron, and the upper end is hung on the special wire hanging angle iron frame. The angle iron frames are fixed on the top corners of the wall with expansion bolts, and marking on the top and bottom of the control line.

(4) Keel installation:  first, fixing angle iron on the structural surface with expansion bolt. After that, installing the fastening angle iron and the transverse aluminum keel. The connection between angle iron, square steel tube and transverse keel is made with bolts. Last, using the infrared level meter to detect whether the horizontal aluminum keel is horizontal, and the steel line to detect whether it is vertical.

(5) Fiber cement board installation: mounting the advance processing board on the keel according to the design drawings, and using aluminum accessories to connect the panel and keel. Hanging lightly the same level layer fiber cement boards on the keel, and then adjusting the horizontal and vertical degree of board through upper and lower steel wires. After that, checking the boards seam, whose width should be uniform according to the requirements of design. Last, tightening the stainless steel screws on the complete set of aluminum accessories.

(6) Board joint treatment: using the fiber cement board powder mixing glue to fill the seam, and then painting with special coating twice. When filling the gap, it is necessary to pay attention to the uniform and full filling.

2. Partition wall installation

Fiber Cement Board(4)

The top and bottom keels are fixed respectively top floor and on floor with expansion bolts. The vertical keel should be aligned well according to the requirement with laterally supporting keel installed. Cutting the board material to the dimensions needed (about 10mm lower than wall height). Board material is fixed on keel in anchoring seam way with tapping screw: the interval of tapping screw is generally about 200~250mm with screws sinking 0.5mm under the board face.

The expansion seam of about 4mm between boards should be kept. The shrouding should be fixed from the middle to the four sides and cannot be operated at multipoint simultaneously to avoid generating inner stress to make board material bucking. Before the fiber cement board is packed and fixed, glass wool or rock wool can be filled as required.

3. Floor board installation

Fiber Cement Board(5)

Before laying the boards, the welding seam on the top surface must be polished flat and the welding spatter must be cleared away. Keep the longitudinal direction of the fiber cement board parallel to the main beam, any edge of the board must not be suspended, a gap of 3~5mm must be left between the board and the board, and the joint between the board and the board should be located in the center of the beam.

Selecting the countersunk head tapping screw, nailing on the vice-keel (Angle iron). Drill first and then nail, nail hole should be bigger than the diameter of the nail. Nailing starts from the center of the board, and then hits outwards, and finally hits the side nails. The nailing position of the side nail should be about 20mm from the edge of the board. The nail distance is 300~600mm. The joint can be injected with silicone sealant, or mortar can be used.

VI. Maintenance skills

After the fiber cement board is installed, it can be painted with various coatings, a waterproof coating is required for places exposed to the air. The joints of the fixed boards need to be filled with wood blocks or battens, and the entire surface of the board needs to be painted, which can prolong the service life of the board. Installation of fixed and painted fiber cement boards requires minimal maintenance. Thick and high-density sheets have good impact resistance, but thin and low-density sheets need protection from external impact.
