Attention to Details

Ventilated Construction

In order to achieve a good result the panels must be installed on a stiff, strong, flat, and level construction. The wall’s stability must be ensured without help from our products.

Our facade cladding must always be installed as a ventilated construction with the outermost cladding open in order to allow ventilation of an underlying cavity. This up-flowing air gap is not to be blocked at any point.

 
 

Attention to detail is of MAJOR importance, so it is therefore important that the joints and connections of the cladding are solved and completed with precision and care.

 

The ventilation equalizes the changes in pressures, which can be caused by gusts of wind, climate change, or drying of the panels. It also ensures humidity and condensation from both inside and outside the structure is able to escape.

Safety

Material Characteristics

We advise the use of a dust extractor and a mask when cutting with power tools. If irritation occurs, get into fresh air. If condition persists seek medical advise.

Always wear safety goggles when cutting or drilling the material. If an irritation occurs, flush with plenty of fresh water. If condition persists seek medical advise.

Due to the nature of the fiber cement products there will be slight variations in the color as well as small imperfections ranging in size from a pin point to a dime. The color variations may be apparent within each board and from board to board. Without having any limits for the color variations or small imperfections, we must evaluate each claim on a case by case basis.

 

You should always wear gloves when handling the material. If an irritation occurs, wash hands thoroughly with water. If condition persists seek medical advise.

You should choose a working method which minimizes dust production.
