The diagrams and instructions outlined in this guide are for illustration purposes only and are not meantor implied to replace a licensed professional.Any construction or use of NewTechWood must be in accordance with all local zoning and/or building codes.The consumer assumes all risks and liability associated with the construction and use of this product.SafetyWith any type of construction project, it is necessary to wear appropriate safety equipment to avoid any risk ofinjuries. NewTechWood recommends, but does not limit it to the following safety equipment, when handling,cutting, and installing NewTechWood: gloves, a respiratory protection, long sleeves, pants, & safety glasses.ToolsStandard woodworking tools may be used. It is recommended that all blades have a carbide tip. Standardstainless steel or acceptable coated deck screws and nails are recommended.EnvironmentA clean, smooth, flat, and strong surface is needed to install NewTechWood products correctly. Ifinstallation does not occur immediately, NewTechWood’s products need to be stored on a flat surface atall times. It should NEVER be stored on an uneven surface.PlanningPrior to installing any composite cladding system, it is recommended that you check with local buildingcodes for any special requirements or restrictions. Building codes and zoning ordinances generally applyto permanent structures, meaning anything that is anchored to the ground or attached to the house.Plan a layout for your cladding before starting it to ensure the best possible looking cladding for yourproject. We recommend drawing a site plan for your proposed cladding project to minimize errors andensure a successful outcome.Perform a pressure washing test on a scrap piece of material before using a pressure washer on thewall cladding to ensure that your settings will not damage the Ultrashield coating.ConstructionNewTechWood is NOT intended for use as columns, support posts, beams, joist stringers, support againsta force, or other primary load-bearing members. NewTechWood must be supported by a code-compliantsubstructure. While NewTechWood products are great for retrofits, NewTechWood ‘s products CANNOTbe installed on existing cladding boards.StaticStatic can be more prevalent in areas that are of higher altitude because the humidity is lower. For theseareas, be careful of using conductive objects such as metal railing and chairs as static shocks might occurmore often. A potential way to lower the amount of static shocks occurring is to apply Staticide(www.aclst aticide.com).VentilationNewTechWood products CANNOT be directly installed onto a flat surface. It must be installed onto asubstructure, so there is adequate and unobstructed air flow under the cladding to prevent excessivewater absorption. A minimum of 25 mm of continuous net free area under the cladding surface isrequired for adequate ventilation on all cladding, so air can circulate between adjacent members topromote drainage and drying.Heat and FireExcessive heat on the surface of NewTechWood products from external sources such as but not limitedto fire or reflection of sunlight from energy efficient window products. Low-emissivity (Low-E) glass canpotentially harm NewTechWood products. Low-E glass is designed to prevent passive heat gain withina structure and can cause unusual heat build-up on exterior surfaces. This extreme elevation of surfacetemperatures, which exceeds that of normal exposure, can possibly cause NewTechWood products tomelt, sag, warp, discolour, increase expansion/contraction, and accelerate weathering.Current or potential NewTechWood customers that have concerns about possible damage by Low-E glassshould contact the manufacturer of the product, which contains Low-E glass for a solution to reduce oreliminate the effects of reflected sunlight.CleaningWe recommend 'Urban Deck-Wash' to clean your cladding, available from all NewTechWood Resellers.Pressure washing on a scrap piece of material before using a pressure washer on the wall cladding toensure that your settings will not damage the Ultrashield coating.Castellation Cladding Installation Guide/ 2021AUS 3
FastenersWhen fastening NewTechWood products all screws that are face fixed should always be stainless steeland be driven in at a 90 degree angle to the cladding surface. Toe screwing should never be done to theproducts. An extra joist should be added if a 90 degree angle cannot be driven into the board. All fastenersshould be on their own independent joists, and when two boards ends meet each other there must be asister batten. The end of each board must sit on its own batten.Use white chalk, straight boards, or string lines as templates for straight lines. NEVER USE COLOUREDCHALK. Coloured chalk will permanently stain NewTechWood’s products and are highly not recommended.Depending on the screws that you use when face fixing, there could be potential bulging ormushrooming. It is recommended to take care of these mushrooms/bulges by taking a rubber mallet andpatting them down to smooth out and improve the appearance.Always look to select screws that have been engineered specifically for composite wood. These screws willalways work and give NewTechWood ‘s products the best looking outcome, using other screws that arenot recommended for composite could potentially damage/harm the cladding. If you are unsure whichscrew to use, contact your manufacturer for more information.Pre-drillWhen face fixing, it is recommended to pre-drill the holes slightly larger than the screw’s shank sizeon the cladding profiles and the trims to allow for expansion and contraction response to temperaturechange, as shown in below diagram.Screw's Head SizeCladding ProfilesorTrimPredrilled Hole SizeScrew's Shank SizeEXPANSION AND CONTRACTION VALUESNewTechWood cladding boards will experience expansion and contraction with changes in temperature.Expansion and contraction are most significant where extreme temperature changes occur. Fasteningthe cladding boards according to the gapping requirements noted in the following table accommodatesfor this 70.81.01.1GAP (mm)InstallationTemperature (C)LENGTH (METRES)Please Note:1. T he above table shows the OVERALL GAP required. If boards have a gap at each end, then halve thevalue shown.2. If you are still unsure of what gap to use, contact the manufacturer and they will give you the correctgapping requirements based on your environment and area.4 Castellation Cladding Installation Guide/ 2021AUS

Under ConstructionWe recommend for the underconstruction metal/aluminium TopHat Battens or Pre-primed H3 TimberBattens. Each cladding board needs tobe supported by a batten spanning NOMORE than 500mm on centres. Extracare is required in order to providesufficient joisting in and aroundobstacles such as windows, fascia's,soffits, guttering, ventilation points, etc.Here is an example of the layers thatwould occur in a typical installation,however, a licensed professional shouldalways be consulted prior to leNewTechWoodUltrashieldCladdingBattens InstallationA building professional should be consulted regarding vapour barriers and insulation for your project.Where a vapour barrier is to be used, it should be a breathable type and must be positioned behind thebattens. The batten needs to have a minimum thickness of 25mm.Battens should be fixed into position at a maximum of 500mm centres using a suitable A4 Stainless SteelCountersunk Wood/Masonry screw.All battens need to be flat and levelled against the wall surface using shims if necessary.Batten500mm500mmBattenHorizonal InstallationVertical InstallationCastellation Cladding Installation Guide/ 2021AUS 7
Locking the Wall Cladding BoardEvery AW - 08 clip comes with a separate hole in the case there is a need to lock the board. The wallcladding boards will expand and contract and to take care of this movement, we must lock the board inone position, ONLY ONE LOCKING SCREW USED PER BOARD, and then allow the board to expand andcontract readily in the other direction .You can see how we lock the board in Diagram A, B, and C.Please Note: DO NOT LOCK EVERY CLIP.General rule of thumb is every board willonly need one locking/ fixation point.BattenScrewM3 x 12(part codeWJ063)Clip (AW08)BoardNo LockingLockingwith screwOriginal Imagesneeded or file nameDiagram ADiagram BDiagram C8 Castellation Cladding Installation Guide/ 2021AUS

Cladding is an exterior finishing system meant to protect the underlying structure (like a home) and provide an aesthetically appealing finish. How long it lasts depends on the type of cladding, but most cladding systems are quite durable and last up to 50 years. While the term cladding is widely used in Europe and Australia, these
for wall cladding, such as wood, brick, metal plastic or imitation stone. Stone cladding is one of the most common materials used for wall cladding, as it is very durable, versatile, as well as long lasting. Cladding will make sure that the mechanical structure of the building remains sound, as it will be able to adapt to changing weather .
