1. Storage

Store horizontally on a flat surface. Protect the boards from the weather using sheets or store them somewhere dry.

Please refer to p12 in Cedral Facade Fixing Guide.

3. Planning

Plan your work upfront in order to ensure the best possible site organisation.

We also recommend consulting your local town planning regulations before you start working to ensure you have the necessary planning permission and comply with all requirements.

Follow both the installation and safety instructions.

5. Supporting structure

Cedral needs to be fixed to vertical timber battens (preservative treated and planed on two faces) of at least 50mm wide (subject to site location), spaced at a maximum of 600mm across the elevation. Cedral should be fixed to at least three battens: if it is only fixed to two, then he batten spacing should be reduced to 400mm.

A minimum 30mm clear cavity must be provided behind Cedral with a 10mm continuous opening at the base, head and at the window and door heads and cills.

Please refer to p21 in Cedral Facade Fixing Guide.

7. Fixing

Start at the bottom of the façade by installing a Cedral starting profile and the required aluminium profiles. The starting profile is placed perfectly level and attached with appropriate countersunk screws which do not interfere with installing the first Cedral slat board.

Attach Cedral Click with a staple laid flat on the beam. Screw Cedral Lap to the beam with an overlap of 30 mm.
