Fibre Cement Cladding Plank and Weatherboard

Preparation
Prior to fixing planks the following procedures should be completed:
- Set a horizontal datum or base line around the perimeter of the building. Use a spirit or water level, and mark with nails and string line.
- Calculate the number of planks required. This is done using the Plank Coverage Calculator table, together with some simple calculations. The calculations are based on the average width of a plank and the minimum recommended overlap.
- For the best results on internal and external corners, timber mouldings are recommended. These will need to be fastened to the frame prior to fixing any planks.
- Before fixing planks all wall openings, vertical joints, sills, heads and corners should be weatherproofed with an approved flashing.
- To ensure the first row of planks are at the correct angle, a starter strip should be fixed to the bottom plate approximately 5mm above the datum line.
(This height may need to be adjusted to ensure the bottom plank is at the correct angle). This strip can be a timber batten or a strip of plank.
