ABSTRACT
SHERA BOARD CLADDING FACADE
CIUBANNA HOUSE is a house project to be
inhabited by university students. Given a
building lot in Medellin city, the house must INSTALLATION
count with a design consistent with the
location of the place. The design plan count
with several rooms, bathroom services,
common areas, cooking area and study
areas.
To carry out the design objective, the study
areas have a facade in SHERA boards, this
decision was made with the aim of reducing
the heat from the setting sun that reaches
the facade, as well as the noise that may
come from the outside, since the object is to
create a quiet, comfortable space to study.

WHAT IS IT? Thickness tolerance +/-6%
Density 1350 +/- 50kg/m3
SHERA BOARD CLADDING, is a non-asbestos Modulus of rupture >7 MPa (wet)
fiber-cement product composed out of portland cement, Modulus of Elasticity 3000 MPa (wet)
cellulose fiber and refine sand. Using a special Water absorption <35%
manufacturing process called autoclave, it acquires the Moisture content <15%
strength, durability of cement and easy workability of pH Value 7-8
wood as well as dimensional stability. A Thermal conductivity 0.15 W/m.K
non-combustible multi-purpose application fiber -cement Acoustic insulation STC= 30dB
flat board, suitable for various applications; ceiling, wall, Moisture movement +0.04%
and floor. It is water resistant, insect and rot resistant and Length change due to water absorption <0.10%
therefore requires very little maintenance.
FIRE RESISTANCE PROPERTIES
BENEFITS Ignitibility Pass
Weather resistant Fire propagation index l=0.4
Immune to water damage Surface spread of flame Class 1
Fire resistant Reaction to fire classification A2-s1do
Provides sound insulation Combustibility Non-combustible
Shatter resistant
Low shrinkage
Flexible For the purpose of this project, there would

CELLULOSE FIBER: fibers made with ethers
or esters of cellulose, which can be obtained
from the bark, wood or leaves of plants, or from
other plant-based material. May also contain
hemicellulose and lignin.
REFINE SAND: manufactured sand, obtained
through the process of extraction, crushing and
screening of raw material
In conclusion, this material is a great alternative to the commonly seen construction
system, since it is of such easy application, is more environmental friendly, and its
resistance to the fire and climatic factors make of this system a perfect inversion to make,
since the risks of it burning down or deteriorating due to environmental causes are very,
very low. Also, its sound and thermal insulation makes a very good choice to meet the
needs of the study area of the CIUBANNA HOUSE.
