10 Advantages of using Fortress Board®
1. Environmental Friendly The Fortress Board ® does not contain any chemical that is harmful to the human body
2. Fire Resistant The Fortress Board ® has been tested to withstand fire within 4 hours at 1000⁰C. And during the burning process, it will not emit any harmful gas
3. Increase Useable Space Compare to CHB which is about 6 inches thick (including plastering), the Fortress Board ® occupies only half of the wall’s thickness which is 3 inches, translaPng to more useable space for the occupant
4. Quick Install Since Fortress Board ® is manufactured in precast, installaPon is a lot quicker, and saves Pme used instead for hauling sand and cement
5. Water and Moisture Resistant Without any need for further waterproofing, Fortress Board ® can resist water and moisture. It can also be used on frequently wet areas such as kitchen and bathroom
6. BeVer Sound InsulaPon The Fortress Board ® has a good sound insulaPon characterisPc. For a 90mm thick wall, it can effecPvely reduce sound travel from the other side of the room by as much as 43 dB -‐assuming that the room is enclosed
7. Easy to Install The Fortress Board ® is very lightweight that it can be carried by 2 persons. Installing it is very easy and the working area is relaPvely clean since there is no need for massive mixing of sand and cement.
8. Thermal InsulaPon The pellets inside the Fortress Board ® serves as good thermal insulators thereby reducing energy costs parPcularly on air condiPoning units
9. Can be Nailed or Bolted thru The Fortress Board ® is durable enough to be nailed or bolted upon even with the use of expansion bolt. It can carry the weight of wall mounted appliance such as LCD screens, and other wall decoraPons
10. Lightweight The weight of the Fortress Board ® is only 20% of that of tradiPonal concrete method, and will translate to a significant amount of savings on structural costs
Background and Technical Specifica4ons
DDue to the ever increasing demand for livable space, the construcPon industry is determined to address it by providing fast and efficient living quarters. It is for this reason that our company has invested a lot of effort on research and development on coming up with a product that will suitably cater to that need. While adopPng the German technology and making some modificaPons, our company was able to come up with our own lightweight concrete precast which can either be used on walls, floors, or as roofing material.
Installa4on Guidelines
1. InstallaPon markings Determining the proper verPcal plumbness and alignment of the wall is necessary prior to installaPon. One piece of board about 1.48 square meter can be handled by 2 person
2. Cueng preparaPon Hand tools with diamond blade cuVer can be used to cut the Fortress board for site fieng
3. Joining applicaPon Wet both sides of the surface where the board is going to be joined together before applying cement, sand, and adhesive mixture
4. Layout Bring the Fortress Board to its designated area
5. AVachment Imbed a rebar to the adjacent column and aVach it to the board.
6. Fieng Press the board to squeeze out the excess cement mixture in between the joint. As you lay-‐out the remaining board on the wall, use a temporary support to keep it steady in place while it is being cured. Then remove the squeezed out excess cement mixture from the wall’s surface
7. Reinforcement Use an L-‐type rebar to connect the beam to the board
8. Slab/floor Reinforcement Use an L-‐type rebar to connect the floor to the board
9. Board to Board connecPon Using a 45 degree angle, you can nail both Fortress board using a rebar
10. Electrical provision Cut a groove on the Fortress board using cueng handtools to lay the electrical pipe and the outlets as well
11. Filling Use Cement-‐Adhesive mixture to fill up the grooves where the pipes and outlets were imbedded.
12. PainPng and Finishing Put a mesh tape on all the joints where the Fortress board were connected prior to painPng

Transport and Applica4on
Without the necessity of applying surface plastering, a skilled worker can install 35 square meters a day. ComparaPvely to brick laying or CHB method, the use of Fortress Board ® is a lot quicker and cost saving
As shown on the picture on the lelmost, the use of Fortress Board ® which is lightweight material does not necessitate it being laid directly on top of a beam which gives the construcPon designers greater flexibility Basing on the picture at the right, since CHB installa-on is 5X heavier, it has to be installed on top of a beam to support its weight
Floor plan of a sample layout Illustra4on on how addi4onal space can be created
In this illustraPon, the tradiPonal CHB laying method occupies 9.1% of the unit area, while the Fortress Board ® occupies only 4.26% of the area. Based on a 100 square meter area, an addi-onal 4.26 square meter of useable space is created without adding cost
