Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of fibre cement cladding requires proper planning regarding the sub-frame. Ensure you use a ventilated rainscreen system to allow air circulation behind the boards, which prevents moisture buildup. When cutting these planks, use a diamond-tipped blade specifically designed for fibre cement to ensure smooth edges and minimize dust. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a dust mask, to avoid inhaling silica dust. For care, the boards are largely self-cleaning due to rainwater; however, if localized debris or dirt accumulates, a simple rinse with a garden hose or a gentle wipe with a soft brush and water is sufficient to restore the original appearance.
