Fibre cement sheet and weatherboard

Post by james bertram »

Good morning - I'm modelling a wall with fibre cement sheet/weatherboard external cladding.

In Australia this is called "fibre cement sheet" (cellulose fibre cement), and it comes as a sheet or as a weatherboard.

Local data is a pretty scarce: Density (kg/m3)=1300, Water absorption = 34.2% (ASTM C1186), EQ Moisture content = 3.4% (ASTM C1186), Thermal conductivity = 0.23 W/mK.

James Hardie manufactures in Aust and the US, so I thought the material might be listed in the N.American database. There seems to be several products in the WUFI material libary (N.American data - Cement Board, Fibreboard, LTH Lund data - Fibrecementboard), but not sure on overseas product overseas names.

Can you suggest a material?

Thank you :?
