Fire Protection: Ideal for fire-rated walls, partitions, and ceilings due to their non-combustible nature and low thermal conductivity.
Thermal Insulation: Helps maintain energy efficiency by providing effective thermal insulation.
Moisture Resistance: Suitable for damp areas like bathrooms and basements, as they resist moisture.
Sound Insulation: Reduces noise transmission between rooms with good sound-absorbing properties.
Calcium Silicate Board vs Cement Board
Composition:
Calcium Silicate Boards: Made primarily from calcium oxide (CaO) and silicon dioxide (SiO₂), often with a high proportion of calcium silicate.
Cement Boards: Composed mainly of cement, along with sand and cellulose fibers.
Density:
Calcium Silicate Boards: Generally have a lower density.
Cement Boards: Higher density.
