Weather the Storm: Sustainable Resilient Fiber Cement Building Envelopes

Materials that comprise the building envelope must be able to endure fire, hurricanes, flooding, and extreme cold and heat. This session will demonstrate how to construct building envelopes that can withstand catastrophic weather events and drastic temperature swings by using fiber cement cladding. See how fiber cement cladding can help you build sustainably while promoting resiliency, structural stability, and life safety. You'll learn about the design and engineering behind fiber cement products that enhance flexibility and function across a variety of climate zones. Plus, explore the evolutionary progress made in fiber cement products for the built environment and architectural specification.
