1 Facade panel PICTURA Product Information Sheet 1 Product range PICTURA fibre cement facade panels are made from: Portland cement Mineral filler Natural organic fibres (cellulose), synthetic organic fibres (PVA), 2 Production method PICTURA panels are produced on a Hatschek machine and are pressed and airdried. The surface is smooth, not glossy, with double layer acrylic coating and a PU topcoating UV hardened (front side) to produce a strong impact and dirt resistant finish. This finish makes a hard surface, scratch resistant and anti graffiti protection for the most kinds of vandalism. Transparent back side sealing. 3 Dimensions and tolerances Standard thicknesses: For facades: Dimensions for mm: 8, 12 mm untrimmed trimmed 2,530 x 1,280 mm 2,500 x 1,250 mm 3,130 x 1,280 mm 3,100 x 1,250 mm Tolerances: untrimmed trimmed Thickness 8 mm 12 mm +/- 0.8 mm +/- 1.0 mm +/- 0.8 mm +/- 1.0 mm Length /- 12 mm /- 16 mm /- 1 mm /- 1 mm Width /- 6.0 mm /- 1 mm Right squareness 2.5 mm / m 1.0 mm / m 4 Weight (air-dried ) Thickness (mm) Weight (kg/m²) 1280 x 2530 mm (kg/panel) 1280 x 3130 mm (kg/panel)

3 7 Advantages When used in accordance with the application guidelines, PICTURA panels from ETERNIT have the following general characteristics: non-combustible good noise insulation properties weather resistant water proof (use only vertically for direct outdoor applications 6 mm not suitable as backventilated cladding) resistant against living organisms (mould, bacteria, insects, pests etc.) chemical resistant environmentally friendly, no harmful gas emissions strong, rigid panels frost resistant anti graffiti protection 8 Applications PICTURA mm Back-ventilated external cladding in accordance with DIN Cladding for post and cross-member construction Weather boarding Outdoor planking for sandwich elements Window ledges Cladding for window recesses Cladding for lintels (doors, windows) Interior wall lining Eaves and verge boards Roof underlayers Bonding for invisible fixing: If PICTURA is to be glued, the adhesive has to be used in accordance with the application guidelines and guarantee conditions of the adhesive supplier ( SikaTack-Panel ). Further information is available from ETERNIT AG. Drilling: for holes: carbide-tipped twist drill with a 60 n ose angle for round apertures: cup drill or circular cutter, carbide-tipped Sawing and drilling must take place in a dry environment. Sawings and drillings must be immediately removed from the sheet. Sawings and drillings not removed can cause permanent stains. Screwing: stainless steel screws with mushroom head and torx recession

4 Screws can be used in pre-drilled holes only. (5,5 x 35 mm for 8 mm thickness and 5,5 x 45 for 12 mm thickness) Blind riveting: Stainless steel blind Eternit-rivet or aluminium Eternit-rivets and associated stainless steel cylindrical spacer sleeve in 9,5 mm holes Stainless steel rivets (5 x 16 K15 mm for 8 mm thickness and 5 x 20 K15 mm for 12 mm thickness) Aluminium rivets (4 x 18 K15 mm for 8 mm thickness and 4 x 25 K15 mm for 12 mm thickness) Kit: Only use neutral kits. Non-neutral kits such as silicones or thiokols can result in spots. 9 Preparation before delivery Fibre cement products can be delivered cut and pre-drilled ready for installation on site. 10 Processing data Cutting: When cutting fibre cement it is best to use a hard-metal saw blade of Class K10 (DIN 4990). In order to ensure an adequate working life of the saw blade and good quality cuts it is important to adapt to varying conditions. Cutting speed: m/ s Passing speed: m / min Drilling: Any commercial electric hand drill can be used, preferably with electronic control and a good drill bit. Do not use the hammer drill function. Heavy-duty, hard-metal drill bits should be used for continuous operation. Health and safety aspects: Fibre cement is a modern, reinforced construction material made from natural and environmentally-neutral raw materials, mostly Portland cement, which is made by firing limestone and clay. Reinforcement is achieved using synthetic, organic fibres of polyvinyl alcohol. These fibres are used in a similar form in the clothing industry for covering fabrics, for fleece materials and for medical fibres. A very important feature is that they are physiologically not problematic. 11 Transport conditions The panels should be moved in stacks using a fork-lift truck or a crane. Individual panels should be moved vertically, and should not be set down on corners. Stacks should be transported under a waterproof cover. 12 Storage and handling PICTURA should be stored and transported on a flat, dry surface which gives support over the entire area. Stack to a maximum height of 1.0 metre, preferably on the returnable palettes, or on dry wooden slats placed sufficiently close to avoid sagging. The panels should be covered, for example with a heavy-duty plastic sheeting, to protect against dampness, weather and dirt. The covering must remain in place at all times for stacked material.

5 Individual panels should be stored on end with air circulation on both sides. If only one side of a panel dries out or becomes damp this can lead to deformation. Paper or foil is inserted between front surfaces to protect the high quality finish, and this should be kept in place when restacking. Stack the panels front face to front face or rear surface to rear surface. Each panel should be lifted from the pile by two workers, removed without touching the other panels and then carried vertically. Pelicolor panels should always be carried upright. 13 Commercial details Prices, delivery conditions, and delivery areas as specified by the supplier 14 References A list of references can be requested from ETERNIT AG - Facade and Construction Sales - or accessed on the Website 15 Availability Deliveries world-wide Availability from builder's merchants and construction companies, or directly from ETERNIT AG Germany ETERNIT AG Fassade und Ausbau Knesebeckstraße 59-61, D Berlin, Germany Tel * Fax fassade@eternit.de
