Fiber cement boards –It is a durable and low-maintenance material that is used to cover the exterior and interior (bathrooms) of houses. It combines cement and reinforcing fibers formed into sheets of different thicknesses used as tile backing boards. It is manufactured with cellulose fibers with cement and sand thus long-lasting and durable. When installed it can last up to 50 years and above.
