Sustainability
At Briarwood, sustainability has been a major factor whilst trying to achieve our longer term objective of making our fibre cement sheets environmentally friendly. Sustainability is a key factor when it comes to eco-friendliness. Whilst normal cement would require lots of water during production, our fibre cement uses recycled materials and also consumes fewer resources.
Lifespan
A key factor which makes our fibre cement roofing sheets stand out is that they have an incredibly long lifespan - to be exact, they can last up to 50 years! This means that you will not need to replace or repair any fibre cement sheets used which helps in the long-term when saving money and materials. In short, fibre cement does not require much (if any) maintenance.
Health benefits
As our fibre cement sheets are made using non-toxic and non-hazardous materials, this means that they provide little-to-none risk to the human health and the safety of livestock. Whilst other some materials such as vinyl can include harmful compounds, fibre cement becomes the clear choice for any roofing and cladding solution.
