The Formative Years (1900-1950)The story of fiber cement board begins in 1900 when Austrian engineers pioneered asbestos-reinforced cement sheets, marking the first industrialized use of fibrous materials in cement matrices28. By 1905, Belgian industrialist Alphonse Emsens established the world’s first dedicated fiber cement factory in Brussels, leveraging the Hatschek process (a "wet felt" production method) to manufacture roofing and [...]

What Are Mineral Fiber Boards and Their Uses in Construction Image Source: pexels Mineral fiber boards are essential materials in modern construction. You’ll find them made from natural or synthetic minerals like basalt and slag. These boards excel in applications where durability and performance matter most, such as ceiling tiles, wall panels, and insulation. Their popularity [...]

Mineral fiber board insulation is a reliable material crafted from inorganic mineral fibers. It excels in thermal insulation, sound absorption, and fire resistance. You can count on its durability and non-combustible nature to enhance safety and comfort in buildings.Its effectiveness stems from research-backed data:Thermal conductivity values hover around 0.040 W/(m K), similar to fiberglass.Density explains [...]

Mineral fiber board production techniquesMineral fiber board production uses mineral wool, binders, and additives. These boards are strong and useful for building projects. They are important because they keep heat in, resist fire, and block noise.People want these boards more and more. For example:The mineral fiber ceiling market may grow from $3.5 billion in 2023 [...]
