weathertex cladding

for the outside of the wall we are using weathertex cladding. when using the cladding you must predrill holes before nailing through it, if you dont then the nails will cause the cladding to crack or split. the recommended nails to use are clouts, if you use the incorrect nails you could risk loosing the whole lot with a gust of wind. the maximum centers for the cladding is 600mm,The preferred spacing is 450mm. Rigid fixings such as screws and masonry nails or anchors, should not be over-tightened into the signboard surface. Clearance holes should be drilled in the signboard to receive these fasteners and assist product performance.
