Important Note – Read All Selections Before You Start
With any type of construction project, it is necessary to wear appropriate safety equipment to avoid any risk of injuries, gloves, respiratory protection, long sleeves, pants, safety glasses, and so on.
Standard woodworking tools may be used. It is recommended that all blades have a carbide tip. Standard stainless steel or acceptable coated deck screws and nails are recommended.
A clean, smooth, flat, and strong surface is needed to install products correctly and it need to be stored on a flat surface at all.
Composite wall cladding is not suitable for use as fencing. We do not recommend attaching it to existing Colorbond or garrison fencing or screening structures, as this may significantly increase wind load on the existing fence posts, potentially leading to structural failure during windy conditions or storms
Expansion and shrinkage
Leave a gap in between each panel joint
The temperature difference in Australia could be from 15 degrees up to over 40 degrees, the expansion and shrinkage rate of composite wall cladding is approximately 2mm per lineal meter, the installer needs to make sure to leave a gap to allow expansion when the temperature goes up.
Pre-drill a 5mm hole in each fixing
To allow the movement of composite cladding panels, a diameter of 5mm pre-drill hole for each fixing screw is required.
Sub-frame work
• Composite wall cladding needs to be supported by BCA compliant structure, cannot be installed and screwed directly onto the wall.
• Requirements on screws: must be stainless screws, size:8g * 30mm.
• Size of timber frame: 70mm by 35mm is recommended.
• Subframe material: H3-treated pine is recommended.
• A 350mm to 600mm joist spacing is recommended for all composite cladding panels.
• Stainless steel must be always used.
You will need a professional installer or builder to finish the job if:
• You are going to install the cladding as a ceiling.
• You are going to use it for commercials.
• The height of the wall you are going to cladd is over 2.2m.
