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.

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.
