Exterior Wall Cladding 1. Safety First SAFETY FIRST SAFETY FIRST Before installing any cladding product, you should review local building codes and regulations, and consult with local building officials to ensure compliance and safety. Dura Composites recommends that all cladding designs be approved by a licensed architect or engineer prior to installation. Wear protective clothing and safety equipment where necessary such as safety glasses, gloves, dust masks and long sleeves, particularly if cutting in confined spaces. Refer to the operator s manuals for safety guides for all power tools used. 2. Storage and Handling TORAGE & HANDLING SSTORAGE & HANDLING To ensure the best performance of our products, it is vital that proper care and attention is given to storage and handling of materials. Please ensure you adhere to the following guidance: Store the products on a flat and level surface in their original packaging until you are ready to install them. If stored outdoors the products must be kept in a covered area to prevent exposure to direct sunlight and weathering. Take care to ensure that boards are not stacked adjacent to sources of moisture. Professional fork lifts should always be used while uploading and discharging pallets. Pallet stacking should not exceed 4 pallets maximum. 3. Choose the Right Product for Your Needs RIGHT PRODUCT RIGHT PRODUCT Dura Cladding is ideal for both domestic and commercial new build & refurbishment projects and can be laid horizontally with either overlapping or flush faces or vertically for those projects which require a different aesthetic. In the Flush range, Dura Cladding comes in a range of other attractive colours and sizes ranging from 150mm to 300mm. Weatherboard or Feather-edge cladding is an alternative solution for those who prefer a traditional appearance and is typically used on barns, outbuildings, lodges and sheds. Available in Barn Black colour in boards of 150mm, the cladding is designed to be laid horizontally with an overlap and has an attractive rustic look. Once you have decided where you want your cladding situated, measure the length and width of the total area. Cladding is installed horizontally as standard, but Dura Cladding can also be installed vertically to provide a different final look. 4. Thermal Expansion and Contraction HERMAL EXPANSION TTHERMAL EXPANSION Extremely warm or cold outdoor temperatures play a significant role in the installation and performance of all cladding products. Following the detailed installation instructions in our supporting Technical Manual will help manage and reduce the effects of thermal expansion and contraction. Please refer to the gap guide in our Technical Manual to ensure your planks have adequate space for expansion and contraction and to preserve the service life of your cladding. Please ensure that you allow Dura Cladding to acclimatise to the exterior temperature before cutting and installing. 5. Care & Maintenance ARE & MAINTENANCE CCARE & MAINTENANCE Once you have completed the install of your Dura Cladding, we advise that the cladding is either washed down thoroughly with a yard broom or pressure washed to ensure that a good clean surface is ready for you to enjoy. Basic Cleaning Spray with a hose to remove surface debris. Use warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush to clear dirt and/or debris from grooves or contours. Pressure Washing Pressure washers up to 1500psi may be used to maintain cleanliness of timber composites. In order to prevent any damage, always keep the pressure washer nozzle at least 15cm (6 inches) from the surface, and avoid concentrated spraying on one area for more than 3 seconds. The use of a pressure washer in this manner will not shorten the life of the material. www.duracomposites.com 16
Exterior Wall Cladding Getting started - Our Simple Install Guide Preparation 1. Decide on which direction the cladding will be installed: It is possible to install Dura Cladding in either direction, both vertical and horizontally. Measure the length and width of the total area. As standard, any cladding should be installed horizontally. However, it is also possible to install vertically. 2. Select the area to be clad and produce a bill of quantities: Before you finalise your order, it is best to choose exactly which parts of the building that you wish to clad with Dura Cladding, how large it will be, and which cladding planks and which trims you will require. Normally, it is best to produce a bill of quantities based on a CAD layout taking into account the actual plank lengths available. This is something that we may be able to help with subject to sufficient time and information. Most customers find that it is wise to build in a waste factor of 7-10% to account for the inevitable quantity of material that cannot be used due to cutting - this may be more or less depending on the number of cuts required to fit awkward shapes. By taking these factors into account, it is more likely that all of your planks can be delivered on a single load. 3. Preparing the battening: Now that you know the direction of the cladding and the exact area of your cladding, next you must determine the batten layout. It is most common to use timber battens although other approved wall batten materials can be used so long as they are fixed to the building using a suitable fixing system. Each Dura Cladding plank must be supported every 600mm. Extra care is required in order to provide sufficient battening in and around obstacles such as windows, fascias, etc. Installation Vertical Cladding 1 2 3 Step 1: Place the Internal Trim in position at the bottom batten. Screw into the middle of the trim. Step 2: Position External Trim so it lines up with the Internal Trim and secure to battening. Screw in Centre of grooves. Step 3: Place the first Cladding Plank at the end and secure in the middle of the elongated holes. 4 5 6 Step 4: Keep on doing this until you reach the end. Use Internal Trim at the top, position on Batten and attach with screws. Slide in the Trim Inserts at the Top and Bottom Trims. Step 5: Use External Trim, cut to size and secure with screws. If cladding carries on round corner, make sure External Trim lines up with battening. Slide in the Trim Insert. Step 6: If your cladding carries on around a corner, follow Steps 1 through 5. Make sure the External Trim is in the right position, so as to place the Cladding Plank into the right position. 17 www.duracomposites.com
Exterior Wall Cladding Installation Horizontal Cladding 1 2 3 Step 1: Fix the Starter Trim to the batten. The screw should be positioned in the centre of the slotted hole. Do not overtighten as this will restrict expansion and contraction. Step 2: Place the first plank in the Starter Trim ensuring the hole centres line up with the battens. Again, do not overtighten as this will restrict expansion and contraction. Repeat this process, checking the level before each plank is fixed. Step 3: Cut the external (Corner) trim as per the cutting guide. Place trim in position and mark on the battens to show where planks finish. Position Cladding approx. half way into recess. Fix using an 8G A4 Stainless Steel Pan Head Screw, 50mm in length. Push the trim insert into place. 6 4 5 Step 4: Cut the internal trim as per the cutting guide. Position the Internal Trim and mark on battens to show where planks will finish. Position cladding approx. half way into recess. Fix using an 8G A4 Stainless Steel Pan Head Screw, 50mm in length. Push the trim insert into place. Step 5: Cut the expansion trim as per the cutting guide. Place into position. Fix using an 8G A4 Stainless Steel Pan Head Screw, 50mm in length. Step 6: Cut a Finishing Trim to size by marking where cuts are needed. Mitering and buttjoining is acceptable. Mark batten centres and drill oversized holes (12mm) through top surface. Drill a 6mm hole and carbon burr to elongate hole. Fix the Trim through the second skin using 8G A4 Stainless Steel Pan Head Screw, 25mm in length. Insert plug and clean with chisel and sandpaper (40 grit abrasive). Fascia trims can be cut down to size to suit windows or door frames and these can be cut from our standard solid fascia board. 7 Step 7: Optional Soffit Detail: In instances where a soffit return is required, our unique starter trim can also be used as a soffit detail to create a neat finish. As each project circumstance will be different, please ensure that you contact us to check suitability prior to installation. Step 8: It is unlikely that cladding installed horizontally on the wall will terminate on a full width plank. If this is the case it maybe necessary to cut the last plank down in width. There are a range of options available, subject to individual site conditions. Please consult our detailed Technical Manual for more details on possible scenarios for finishing the last plank. www.duracomposites.com 18

Green Park provides local companies in East Yorkshire with modern and energy efficient business space in the right location benefits that are usually only reserved for large organisations. Type 150 Cedar Flush horizontally installed The developer behind the concept is the Horncastle Group who along with their architects, The Harris Partnership, selected Composite Timber Dura Cladding in Type 150 Cedar as the exterior wall covering in recognition of its low maintenance and environmentally friendly properties. Speaking about the project, Ian Hodges, managing director of Horncastle Group PLC said; The overarching concept behind the development was to ensure it was as architecturally attractive, environmentally friendly and sustainable as possible, and selecting Dura Cladding for the exterior Hopewood Park Hopewood Park is situated in Ryhope, Sunderland and provides a range of clinical services including assessment and treatment of mental health conditions and services for people who require intensive rehabilitation. The 50 million facility was designed by Medical Architecture and was inspired by Ryhope s river valley. The layout and design of Hopewood Park encapsulates the latest thinking and approaches to mental healthcare, creating a sympathetic and soothing recovery-centred environment both inside and out, with plenty of exposure to daylight. A calming range of textures and finishes in a restrained pallet of white, composite wood, grey and slate have been used both internally and externally, creating an outside is inside feeling to the buildings. To achieve the wood-effect finish Dura Cladding composite timber in Type 150 walls has played a significant role in helping us achieve that. The resulting buildings look great, are extremely energy efficient and all have Energy Performance Certificate ratings of A. Dura Cladding offered all of the key properties we were looking for in terms Cedar Flush was selected. This pretty and authentic wood-effect cladding offers greater longevity than traditional wood. The use of Dura Cladding also helps enhance the feeling of tranquillity and connection with the local landscape of its appearance, low-maintenance, environmental sustainability and long term durability, and was a great choice from our point of view. In fact, we re so delighted with the results that Horncastle Group recently relocated to Green Park Business Park to help establish a business community in this prime location.
