Fascias, barge boards, infill panels, spandrel panels & gable ends

High strength but undecorated MASTERCLAD^® by Intumex is suitable for these types of applications. Other contributions Masterclad boards make is its high dimensional stability, resistance to wind load, flexibility for featured joints and cutting with standard tools etc.

The boards are excellent for the construction of fascias by applying the sheets to a suitable background framing of timber or metal, or by direct fixings to brickwork.

For infill panels, the edge beading must allow at least 12mm wide support to provide sufficient edge restraint to replace the edge fixings specified in below table. Where the size of the panel exceeds 610mm in both directions, intermediate supports will be required. The only exception being composite panels utilising MASTERCLAD^® which is capable of wider spans. For more details,  please contact Intumex Asia Pacific Technical Department.

* This thickness requires support on all four edges. Cross noggings are required at maximum 1220mm centres.

For specific framing and fixing details to meet precise loading requirements, please consult Intumex Asia Pacific Technical Department in all instances to ensure adequate designs are utilised.

Weatherboarding

Strips of MASTERCLAD^® by Intumex can be used as weatherboarding as an alternative to timber, rigid or cellular PVC. The boards will not rot and they have better dimensional stability than both timber and plastic products. They also will not burn or drip in the event of fire.

• Supports are required at 600mm centres and should be a minimum of 38mm wide.

• Breather paper should then be applied over the studs and the strips should be fixed to the vertical studs with 35mm lap using minimum 38mm x No.8 screws, or 50mm flat headed nails.

• The fixings are positioned immediately above the top edge of the under lapping strip.

• Nails or screws should be fixed through holes pre-drilled 1.5mm oversize.

• Joints should occur at stud positions and be staggered between layers.
