Cement Pressure Board for Container Houses

Admin September 16, 2026

The cement pressure board used in container houses, namely fiber cement board, is a high-performance building material with various characteristics. Here is a detailed introduction:

Basic Characteristics

  • Fire Resistance: Fiber cement board has excellent fire-resistant properties, effectively preventing the spread of fire and providing reliable fire protection for container houses. In the event of a fire, it buys valuable time for personnel evacuation and rescue operations.
  • Water Resistance: This board has good water-resistant capabilities, able to withstand moisture erosion and prevent issues such as deformation and mold growth caused by dampness, ensuring a dry and stable internal environment in container houses.
  • Thermal Insulation: Fiber cement board offers a certain degree of thermal insulation, reducing heat transfer between the interior and exterior. This lowers energy consumption, improves the energy efficiency of container houses, and maintains a comfortable indoor temperature.
  • Sound Insulation: It effectively blocks the transmission of sound, creating a quiet internal environment in container houses, reducing interference from external noise, and enhancing living comfort.
  • Pest Resistance: Due to its material properties, it is not easily eroded by pests, extending the service life of the board and reducing the costs of later maintenance and replacement.
  • Strong Hanging Capacity: Fiber cement board has high strength and can bear a certain amount of hanging weight, facilitating the installation of various equipment and decorative items inside container houses.
  • Long Service Life: With its excellent physical and chemical properties, fiber cement board has a long service life under normal use conditions, providing long-term stable support and protection for container houses.
  • Dimensional Stability: The board undergoes special treatment during production, resulting in good dimensional stability. It is not prone to deformation due to environmental changes, ensuring the structural stability and aesthetic appeal of container houses.
  • Simple Construction: Fiber cement board is relatively lightweight, making it easy to handle and install. The construction process is relatively simple, improving construction efficiency and shortening the project duration.

Material and Specifications

  • Material: It uses natural mineral fibers and cement as raw materials, which are pressed by a large laminating machine using high-temperature and high-pressure technology. This production process results in a tightly structured and stable board.
  • Specifications: The board is generally rectangular in shape, with a standard size of 2.44 * 1.2 meters. The thickness can be produced according to different user requirements, with multiple options available to meet the design and construction needs of various container houses.

Industry Standards

Fiber cement pressure boards fall under the category of non-asbestos and chrysotile fiber cement flat sheets in building material industry standards in China. Domestically, chrysotile fiber cement pressure boards are the main type.
