Description
SHERA board is the non-asbestos fibre-cement flat sheet composing of Portland cement,
cellulose fiber and refined sand. With the special manufacturing process called autoclave, our
board acquires the strength, durability as well as dimensional stability.
The non-combustible SHERA board comes with various thicknesses for different applications
exterior as well as interior.

Installation
Tools: No special tools are required. The products can be hit by normal nails like wood work,
fastened by normal or self-drilling screw and cut by electric power saw with diamond blade.
Fixing: SHERA board can be fixed to both timber with minimum size 1.5 x 3 inch. or steel frame
with at least 0.55 mm thickness. The board must be supported at the edged at intermediate
positions with centers not exceeding 600 mm. Fastener must be located at more than 12 mm
from edges and 50 mm from board corners.
Fastener: Fastener can be both nails and screw. It can be nailed directly to timber supports
with round wire nails. For metal screws, the size and length of the screw will be according to
thickness of the board and the gauge of framing. Pre-drilling the board is a must, otherwise,
Self-embedding, self-drilling head screws are preferred.
Jointing: Since fibre-cement board is subjected to slightly dimensional changes, butt joint can
be used in dry partitioning area or where the exposed joint appearance is acceptable. For
better water protection, either flexible acrylic or polyurethane based sealant can be used to
seal the gap of 3-5 mm.
Conditions
Transportation, Handing and Storage: Deliver SHERA board to project site in original,
unopened package and store them in fully enclosed space where they will be protected against
damage from humidity, direct sunlight, surface contamination and other causes. Handle SHERA
board carefully to avoid chipping edges or damaging units in any way. Handing and store
practice shall be followed manufacturer’s suggestion.
