Inorganic bonded fiber composites consist of building materials such as wood-cement board or wood-gypsum board. The materials contain a wood fiber or particle element that is bonded within an inorganic mineral matrix. Aged wood waste frequently signifies better than virgin wood in this application. Degradation of wood fiber's hemicellulose improves wood-cement bonding strength. These weather and fire-resistant products are produced for sub-flooring panelboard, roofing shakes or shingles, tiles, siding, fencing, cladding, or building blocks. Over the last years promising cement
