ASTM C 1186, Type A Standard Specification for Flat Fiber Cement Sheets C. Mock-up: At Owner's expense, provide a complete system sample of specified size using workmen, equipment, and techniques proposed for use on the project. The completed mock-up shall become the standard of comparison for finished work for the project. D. Workmanship shall be of a level of quality adequate to meet the project specifications as determined by the owner's designated representative. 1.6 DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING A. Deliver manufactured materials in original unopened packages or containers, with manufacturer's labels intact and legible. B. Protect materials from damage. C. Store siding panels horizontally and under cover. Keep siding panels dry and off the ground prior to installation to avoid moisture conditions that could affect the quality of the work. Siding panels are not to be stacked more than 2 pallets high. D. Carry panels at mid span and on edge for ease of handling and to avoid breakage. E. Siding panels contain silica. When drilling, cutting, or abrading siding panels during installation or handling, observe the following precautions: a) work outdoors when feasible or in a well ventilated indoor space, b) wear a dust mask or use a respirator, c) warn other workers and building occupants in the area, and/or, d) advise building occupants to close windows in the immediate are of work. F. Refer to MSDS. 1.7 FIELD CONDITIONS A. CERACLAD Solid Core type panels are not to be installed in regions averaging more than 80 freeze thaw cycles per year. CERACLAD Hollow Core type panels do not have this restriction. Contact your CERACLAD representative for more information.

B. 20 Year Limited Warranty: The Ceramic Product finish shall (A) retain its color and luster (meaning color fade shall not exceed color No.1-2 and E=9.6 in accordance with ISO 105-A02:1990, Test for color fastness- Part A02: Grey scale for assessing change in color for color integrity, and shall not significantly (B) peel, (C) incur structural cracking, or (D) chip, for a period of 20 years under normal use. C. 15 Year Limited Warranty: The Acrylic Product finish shall not significantly (A) peel, (B) incur structural cracking, or (C) chip, for a period of 15 years under normal use. D. See Warranty Card for more details. PART 2 PRODUCTS 2.1 SYSTEM A. Factory-finished fiber cement siding finished with [acrylic coating] [or] [ceramic coating] with rain-screen clip technology and accessories installed as a complete system, suitable for new construction and retrofit projects. 2.2 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS A. Conform to ICC ESR MANUFACTURERS A. KMEW Co., Ltd., 13F Crystal Tower, Shiromi, Chuo-ku, Osaka Japan, specified as Basis of Design. B. US Distributor: Allied Building Products, th Street SW Edmonds, WA Tel (425) , Fax (425) donald.agnelli@alliedbuilding.com (Donald Agnelli) C. Substitution Requests: [Not accepted] [Submit under substitution requests provisions specified by Division 01] 2.4 MATERIALS A. Material Composition: 1. Portland Cement...40% 2. Wood Fiber and Lightweight Materials...10%

4 3. Recycled Materials including Fly Ash...50% B. Panels 1. Dimensions: 18"(h)x 9'-11¼ (l) x 5/8"(w) 2. Coverage: 15 square feet 2.5 SOURCE QUALITY CONTROL A. Single Source Responsibility: Supply panels and accessories as manufactured by or distributed by KMEW. No substitution allowed. PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1 EXAMINATION A. Verify conditions ready to receive work of this section. Do not begin work until correction of unsatisfactory conditions. B. Examine substrate to ensure that finished surfaces will be true, level, and plumb without requiring additional steps. Notify the proper authority in writing of discrepancies found in the substrate. Beginning of installation indicates acceptance of existing conditions. 3.2 PREPARATION A. Substrate: 1. Provide work to make corrections to substrate conditions suitable for installation. and able to withstand normal construction and live loads. 2. Substrate Flatness: 1/16 inch within every 32 inch span. 3. Report and document defects and do not proceed until defects are corrected. 4. Do not install directly to stucco, brick, concrete masonry, tile, or similar substrates. Wood battens or Z-girts can be used to provide a suitable substrate for attachment. B. Starter Bar: 1. Mark a level line for the starter bar to end up with approximately ½ ventilation gap between the bottom of the siding panels and the sill flashing. 2. Fasten the starter bars securely along the mark with the clip screws. The starter bar must fully support the first panel. 3. Typical maximum distance between screws must not exceed 16" unless otherwise specified by project engineer.

5 3.3 INSTALLATION A. GENERAL 1. Install products in accordance with the latest installation guidelines of the manufacturer, applicable building codes and other laws, rules, regulations and ordinances. 2. Review all manufacturer installation and maintenance instructions and other applicable documents. 3. Siding panels contain silica. When drilling, cutting, or abrading siding panels during installation or handling, observe the following precautions: a) work outdoors when feasible or in a well-ventilated area when indoors, b) wear a dust mask or use a respirator, c) warn other workers and building occupants in the area, and/or, d) advise building occupants to close windows in the immediate area of work. B. Installation of First Panel: 1. Begin installing the first horizontal or vertical siding panel by working from the left hand joiner. The leading edge of the panels, which is the edge with the concealed groove, should sit squarely on the lower lip of the starter bar. C. Installation of Panels: 1. Fit panels tightly together on both horizontal and vertical joints ensuring that panel edges are properly seated in the clips. 2. Continue using appropriate panel clips on the top edge of panel as the work proceeds from the bottom of the wall to the top. Correct installation of siding panels into clips will create the desired air cavity gap which allows for the circulation of air. A clip must be attached within 3 inches of any panel end. Clips fastening to studs need only one screw pre clip. Clips attached to plywood/osb sheathing must have two screws per clip. 3. Install panels working left to right; bottom to top. 4. Apply sealer to field cut joints. 5. All face nails or screws attached through the panel shall be pre-drilled. 6. Do not directly fasten any item to the panels. Provide blocking behind panel cavity and fasten objects through the panels and into the blocking and building frame. Panels are not structural sheathing. 3.4 MAINTENANCE A. Review technical documentation for detailed instructions on care and maintenance of CERACLAD fiber cement panels.

6 3.5 CLEANING: 1. Wipe off dirt with a cloth dampened with diluted neutral mild detergent. Do not use a solvent, such as thinner, or scrub the panels with a steel wool pad, which damages the coated surfaces. Do not use a steam cleaner or power washer, which can also damage the surfaces. 2. If the nailed or screwed sections become cracked replace the cracked panels with new ones or fill the cracks with repair putty, which is available from your CERACLAD representative. END OF SECTION
