The surface of the board can be easily decorated
with most varieties of paints, wall papers,
laminates, veneers and ceramic tiles. These
boards are compatible with common building
materials and galvanized steel.

Hicem Boards are cured in HPSC [High Pressure Steam Curing]
which cause an irreversible chemical change, thus providing high dimensional
and chemical stability accompanied by low alkalinity.
