First Claim
Patent Images
1. A building material, comprising:
- a first component, wherein the first component comprises a pre-formed fiber cement layer having a density of between about 53 to 115 lb/ft3 and a fiber content between about 5-12 wt. %;
a second component positioned adjacent the first component, wherein at least a portion of the components forms interpenetrating mechanical and chemical bonding with the other components; and
wherein the fibers of the first component extend in a substantially planar orientation substantially parallel to a surface of the pre-formed fiber cement layer.

Abstract
This invention generally pertains to a composite building material comprising a lightweight core with a thin fiber cement facing on one side of the core and a second facing material on the other side. The fiber cement facing that is used on at least one of the faces of the building material is 3/16″ or less, more preferably ⅛″ or less. The green fiber cement facing is preferably formed by a slurry-dewatering process to form a sheet that is in a plastic, uncured, state prior to manufacture of the composite. The composite building material is assembled in an uncured state and then cured.
