Cement-bonded chipboards have a large enough weight and format and high density, they are hard enough to saw, so you should not consider them as very cheap house cladding. In addition, it is desirable to glue the grid and plaster or paint on top. Most often they do the opposite: DSPs are used for frame construction, reliable and durable panels are made of this material. And now such a house is often faced with other material.
Cladding can be calculated at the rate of about 10-12 dollars per sheet, given that the plate is 3.8 square meters. m. Some companies keep similar prices per square meter. So if different companies offer different prices for the trim with this material, then this offer should be examined in the market of services from several reliable companies.
In addition to paying for the DSP sheets themselves and the work of the masters, it is necessary to provide for the purchase of elastic putty for joints (mandatory for street work) and reinforcing tape. External corners will require metal (solid or perforated) corner profiles. On top of the plate should be primed and painted (acrylic or silicone paint) or make another finish.
The combination of wood and cement makes this material resistant to weather conditions, frost and environmental influences. In addition, some useful properties are enhanced by various additives. It is not flammable, water-resistant, does not rot, is not afraid of mold, insects and fungal infections, does not contain formaldehyde and asbestos, belongs to environmentally friendly "breathing" materials. In addition, DSP is a good sound insulator. So really finishing the house with a similar material is very useful. The warranty on the material is given for 50 years.
