Abstract

The problems to be solved by the invention are to provide a fiber reinforced cement composition for obtaining a fiber reinforced cement product which is excellent in bending strength, dimensional stability and installing property such as handling property, flexibility performance and nail performance, as well as a process for manufacturing the product. Namely, the fiber reinforced cement composition comprises the following raw materials: a hydraulic inorganic material, a siliceous material and a woody reinforcement, wherein the siliceous material is an inorganic hollow material and/or an inorganic spherical material and a finely dividing inorganic hollow material and/or a finely dividing inorganic spherical material. The effects of the present invention, it is possible to obtain a fiber reinforced cement product having good bending strength, dimensional stability and installing property such as handling property, flexibility performance and nail performance.
