4. Fibreboard plates

Fibreboard plates are produced from raw materials of natural origin. The main ingredient is curled chips, to which the binder – Portland cement and mixed water are added. These components make fibreboard plates mechanically strong and also increase fire resistance. The thickness of the curled chips determines the wide and diverse possibilities of the use of the material. They are mainly used for thermal insulation, in enclosing structures, in premises where it is necessary to provide sound insulation, as a decorative element, etc.

Advantages

Disadvantages

  • ecological, natural material,
  • fireproof,
  • high specific-heat capacity – 2100 J/(kg.K),
  • soundproof,
  • easy and convenient to process,
  • the material does not rot, rodents do not like it.
  • other materials have better thermal conductivity,
  • heavy material,
  • to ensure better thermal insulation, a thicker layer is required, difficult to use on premises with limited space.
