Cement Board Installation
Welcome to Wendell Siding
Serving Wendell, NC
Cement board installation is a crucial step in constructing durable and moisture-resistant surfaces, particularly in areas prone to water exposure like bathrooms and kitchens. Cement boards are composed of cement and reinforcing fibers, which make them an excellent underlayment for tile installations. Their robust composition ensures a stable and secure base that resists warping and degradation over time, unlike traditional drywall. This makes cement board installation an essential process for preventing water damage and ensuring the longevity of tiled surfaces. The installation process involves cutting the boards to size, securing them with screws, and sealing the joints with fiberglass mesh tape and thin-set mortar. This meticulous approach not only enhances the structural integrity of the surface but also provides a smooth and even substrate for tiles, contributing to a professional and long-lasting finish.
Benefits of Cement Board Installation
-
Moisture Resistance
Cement boards are inherently resistant to water, making them ideal for use in wet areas. This resistance helps prevent mold and mildew growth, which can compromise the integrity of the structure and lead to costly repairs. -
Durability
The composition of cement boards makes them exceptionally durable and long-lasting. They can withstand impacts and heavy loads without cracking, ensuring that tiled surfaces remain intact and appealing over time. -
Improved Tile Adhesion
Cement boards provide an excellent bonding surface for tiles, enhancing adhesion and reducing the risk of tiles coming loose. This results in a more secure and aesthetically pleasing tile installation.
