Japanese fiber-reinforced cement boards
Among Japanese brands, such manufacturers can be mentioned as Kmew, Konoshima and Nichita. A panel and carcass house finished with panels by leading Japanese manufacturers will serve many generations.
Today, fiber-reinforced cement panels in Japan are manufactured with use of concrete of grade M700 and higher. Besides, manufacturing process utilizes the state-of- the-art technology of extrusion, which permits to obtain products with the best physical and chemical parameters. Since fiber-reinforced cement boards of Japanese manufacture contain special components of non-organic origin, frost resistance of the material increases up to 300 cycles.
ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES OF JAPANESE BOARDS:
- incombustibility
- good sound insulation
- low heat-carrying capacity
- high impact and bending strength
- low weight and easy to install
However, the most important feature of Japanese fiber-reinforced cement boards is their self-cleaning capacity. Molecules of water gather on surfaces of boards from the air, and form very thin film. Dirt accumulates on top of the molecules and is easily washed away when it rains.
