FAQs

What is the effective coverage of one plank?

Each 180mm wide plank provides 150mm of effective cover, totaling 0.54m2 per 3.6-meter length.

Do I need to paint or seal these planks?

No, these planks come pre-finished and require no preservative treatments or painting.

How long is the warranty?

The SwissPearl Fibre Cement Cladding Plank is backed by a 15-year warranty.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a drill for fixing and a saw equipped with a diamond-tipped blade suitable for fibre cement.

Can this be installed horizontally and vertically?

While typically installed horizontally, it can be applied in various orientations provided the support framework is designed correctly.

Is the material heavy?

Fibre cement is denser than traditional timber, so ensure your sub-frame structure is rated to handle the additional weight.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust during installation

Use a vacuum-assisted saw system and ensure operators wear respiratory protection while cutting.

Planks appear uneven or wavy

Check the supporting framework for levelness; shim the battens if necessary before securing the planks.

Edge chipping during cutting

Ensure the blade is sharp and specifically rated for fibre cement; feed the plank slowly through the saw.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High Class A2 fire resistance
  • Immune to rot, mould, and insect damage
  • Long-lasting 15-year warranty
  • Requires no painting or chemical preservation

Cons

  • Material is heavier than timber equivalents
  • Requires specialized diamond-tipped blades for cutting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of SwissPearl planks should follow standard ventilated rainscreen principles. Ensure the supporting timber or metal framework is perfectly level, as any undulations in the sub-frame will be visible once the planks are mounted. When cutting, always use high-quality diamond-tipped saw blades to achieve clean edges and minimize dust. Work in a well-ventilated area and utilize appropriate dust extraction equipment. For ongoing care, simply wash the cladding with water and a mild detergent occasionally to remove dust or accumulated grime, maintaining the vibrant Anthracite Grey finish for years to come.
