Siam Cement Group Showcases Latest Products For Stylish, Sustainable Homes

Siam Cement Group (SCG), an ASEAN sustainable conglomerate, has showcased its latest products that will help Filipinos create stylish and sustainable homes.

With more than 100 years of expertise in homebuilding and construction sector, SCG featured its concept of “unbounded fiber cement” in the recently concluded 21st WorldBEX in Manila.

“SCG has a strong commitment to develop world-class products and services to meet the changing and growing needs of international and local construction professionals, traders, exporters, associations and homeowners. The company is ready to introduce and deliver the latest technologies, innovative building materials and creative construction solutions for Filipinos,” said Phaskorn Buranawit, country director of SCG Cement-Building Materials Philippines.

One of SCG’s latest innovations include the SCG Smartboard, a fiber-cement board consisting of SCG Portland cement and non-asbestos cellulose fiber, giving it strength, flexibility, and water resistance.

During the 21st WorldBEX, the public was invited to test the strength of the SCG Smartboard by stomping heavily on it. They were amazed that it did not sustain any damage.

Two breakthrough technologies were also showcased at the 21st WorldBEX: the Extrusion Technology and Digital Printing Technology.

Extrusion Technology uses a free form molding process that provides a wide range of styles and designs with various depth levels and dynamic forms needed to make distinctive home finishes, as seen in the SCG Smartboard Modeena and SCG Smartwood Floor Plank.

These floor planks bring life to homes with their multi-layer impression that gives a personal touch to a home. For instance, the SCG Smartboard Modeena is applicable for both exterior and interior use due to its termite-free and waterproof properties. It is the same for SCG Smartwood Floor Plank which can reduce the weight up to 25 percent, therefore saving on structural costs.

The Digital Printing Technology on Fiber Cement Board, on the other hand, enables printing of various colors, designs, and textures on wall tiles that provide different tones and unique artistic designs. With these products, walls and floors can be stylishly designed to suit different taste preferences.

“We at SCG understand that Filipino homeowners want their homes to look the very best and to be made by the best materials available in the market. As a response, SCG continuously develops products and services to provide Filipino families high-quality products that can be used both for exterior and interior parts of their homes, ensuring innovative and sustainable living for everyone nationwide,” said Buranawit.
