Cement Fiber Board VS Versa - WPC Planks



Versa is a high density and high strength material that is non-brittle, unlike cement boards that damage easily and require regular painting. Listed below are a few differences between cement fiber boards and WPC planks.

Aesthetic Look
Today, WPC planks are a popular choice of building material, all because of its inherent characteristics of natural wood aesthetics. The cement boards look plain when compared to the WPC planks.

Surface Treatment         
Only one surface treatment can be carried out on cement boards, which is painting, you can't Laminate it nor you can apply Veneer on it. Cement boards are very heavy in weight. In fact, they almost have 3 times more density than WPC planks. So, when a heavy product is used for any application in a building then it leads to an increase in the overall Dead Load weight of the building which is not recommended.

Hardware Feasibility
Normal hardware that is used in WPC planks cannot be used in the cement boards as their weight is very high. If you want to fix hinges on the cement boards then the hinges which are required are enormously expensive and they have to have a weight load capacity which can bear the weight of the cement board's shutters, which is impossible.

Workability
Whenever you choose a building material you should always have the workability in mind. Make sure the material is worker-friendly. WPC planks are carpenter friendly products and can be cut using a normal hand saw without any problem.

Time Consuming
Last but not the least, you can't use the cement boards directly in the carcass, wardrobe, vanity, kitchen, etc. Hence, you will need to carry out surface treatment on it. WPC planks, on the other hand, are very glossy in nature and it can be used anywhere which will consume less time.
