1. Exceptional Durability
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, fiber cement roofs can last more than 40 years. Resistant to rot, fire, UV rays, insects, and weathering, they are ideal for the Irish climate.
2. Fire and Weather Resistance
Fire-resistant fiber cement is ideal for areas where fire protection is a top priority. It also withstands heavy rain, wind, and frost, offering year-round protection.
3. Lightweight and Easy to Install
Despite its durability, fiber cement is lighter than many conventional materials. This reduces structural stress and allows for faster and more cost-effective installation, a win-win for both homeowners and builders..
4. Low Maintenance
Once installed, a fiber cement roof requires very little maintenance. Periodic cleaning and inspection are usually sufficient to keep it in excellent condition for decades.
