2 Properties of FINEX Fiber Cement Panels Finex Fiber Cement Panels are resistant to: - Fire and Heat - Mould and Decay - Water - Corrosion - UV Rays - Freeze/Thaw Cycles - Impact - Most Acids and Chemicals High-Quality, Finished Panels, Unique and Versatile Indoor and Outdoor Use Can be formed into tiles or strips to fit any space Can be installed in contact with ground and below grade (synthetic fibers vs cellulose) Limited Lifetime Warranty

3 Fibercement Trend Long time consideredas a structural building material, fibercement is now usedin interiorachitectureand design. Welikeitfor itsdurability, impact and fire resistance, natural cement grey-color This material provides exceptional comfort and style

4 Finex Timeline First Generation: From 1947 to 1988 Cement and asbestos composite manufactured by Atlas Turner Second Generation: From1988 to 1996 Cement and cellulose composite manufactured by Cemfort Third Generation (current product): From 1996 to present time Cement and synthetic fibers composite property of Finex Inc. Panels are still manufactured with original machinery Projects built with first and second generation panels are still standing and good as new

5 Product Composition Fiber Cement Panels are made of 4 components: Cement Sand Synthetic Fibers (polypropylene carbon based) Water

6 Product Line 1/2 inch (12 mm) thick panels Sizes: 4 x 8 and 4 x 10 Horizontal applications (+ for countersinking screws) 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick panels Sizes: 4 x 4 and 4 x 8 Vertical applications (light impact)

21 Decks and Balconies

22 Decks and Balconies More affordable, more convenient and more durable than fibreglass, Ducan Dek-Master / Roll Dek and Duradek More affordable than poured concrete (-40%) More durable than plywood or pressure-treated lumber Little or no maintenance

23 3 Key Installation Points 1- Only install Perfectly Dry Panels Let pallets dry for 72 hours, individual panels for 24 hours 2- Expansion Joint Leave at least 1/8 between panels, or apply at least ¼ of flexible sealant 3- Pre-Drill screw holes 1/16 bigger than the screw diameter

24 Working with Finex Fiber Cement Panels 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 1) Cutting (carbide or diamond tip blade, masonry blade) 2) Drilling (use concrete bit) 3) Countersinking (use concrete bit) 4) Screwing (3/4 substrate penetration) 5) Apply sealant 6) Patch screw heads

25 Fiber Cement Tools Masonry/Concrete Countersinking Bit Circular Saw and Jigsaw Concrete/Masonry Blades

26 HANDLING Carry panels on their side, not flat Corners are fragile before installation Store panels flat, inside or with protection

27 Can be formed into tiles or strips to fit any space. Concrete that works like wood!

28 Installation (Decks & Balconies) Plan for a 1/8 per foot slope for drainage Fasten to straight joists, 16 O/C. Support along the perimeter Use 1 ½ stainless steel screws Screw every 12, ¾ from the edge, double joists at joints File or rasp along the edges for a smoother finish Over an existing concrete surface? Yes!

29 Joints: Flexible Sealant - Joint at least ¼ wide, ideally ½ - Use bond-breaking tape to ensure sealant will only adhere to panels, not at the bottom - Make sure surfaces are dry and clean - Do not apply under direct sun rays or if temperature is below 4 C - Wait 5-7 days before painting - Recommended: Sikaflex Construction Sealant, PL Polyurethant (Concrete & Masonry) or equivalent (remains flexible, can be painted) - Does not create a watertight system

30 Finishing Products

31 Finishing Products

32 Additional info: Finishing Products - Can be used on any concrete surface - Cleaner must be diluted in water - A container of screw finishing compound is good for 8-10 panels / covers 15 sq. ft. - A container of anti-slip acrylic covers 160 sq. ft. (1 coat) - A container of clear sealer covers 200 sq. ft. (2 coats)
