2 Installation Instructions Skanfas is a fire-proof, weather-proof and non-decaying facade material. It is a combination of the pleasant look of wood and the indisputable benefits of fibre-cement technology: it does not burn, it does not rot, it is not susceptible to moulds, and it does not become warped when fastened to walls. When storing these panels on the construction site Skanfas panels must always be kept dry, away from the rain and dust, and on a flat base. The factory packaging serves only to provide protection during transportation. At the construction site, these panels need to be covered with a separate protective covering. Never mount wet or moist panels!! Handling the panels When you lift a single panel from a stack of panels, do not allow it to drag against the panel underneath it, but instead turn it on its and lift it upwards vertically this enables you to avoid scratching the surface of the other panel! Always carry the panels on their side. When restacking panels on the construction site, you need to make sure that there is always a film on plastic between the panels. By doing this way, you can prevent the panels from becoming stuck to one another. Processing the panels The best tool for cutting Skanfas panels is a circular saw. Cut the panel with the coloured surface pointing upwards! Skanfas also supplies the best the saw blades for cutting panels.

3 Installation Instructions Mounting Before starting to mount the panels, it is important to set aside a moment for planning whereby you can speed up the work and get a final outcome that is to your liking. Mounting methods Max. 600 mm Variation 1 Variation 2 Skanfas panels are meant to be munted horizontally in the manner of bevelled siding. The panels are mounted onto vertical supports, which can be of wood or steel. The maximum distance between the vertical supports is 600mm. The panels can also be installed vertically oriented. Skanfas panels can then also be used to form the lowermost tier of panels. ARBOREAL PANEELIN Dimensions Max. 600 mm Thickness mm Width mm Length mm Weight kg/m2 7,

4 Beginning Cut a mounting strip about wide from a Skanfas panel and fasten it to the lower edge edge of a vertical support to serve as the starter strip. Check the horizontality using a level. Make sure that the distance from the ground is sufficient to keep the panels from getting dirty. TIP Wind-shield board Vertical support If you need to make the plinth higher, it is easy to do using Skanfas Rock-panels, which have an outer coating of crushed natural stone. A plinth that is high enough gives the building more stature. Mountingthe firstpanel Draw a line 200mm above the starting point (from lower edge of the ventilation strip) as this enables you secure the drop edge of the the lowermost panel. Fasten the first panel as per the line you have jsut drawn. The minimum fastening distances for the screws is 20mm from the upper edge of the panel and from the ends. When you add panels lengthwise, always leave a gap of 2mm between the panels. By painting the sawed edges on the site before mounting, you have a finished final result. Before painting, smoothen the sawn edges lightly with fine sandpaper. The next panel needs to be mounted with an overlap of at least on top of the lower panel. Remember to retain the same distance throughout the panelling work and the final result will have a finished look. Skanfas NOTE! Do not over-tighten the screws! 200mm Starter strip Wrong Correct 4

5 For vertical joints we recommend It's a good idea to place Skanfas joint tape or EPDM tape along Skanfas panel joints. This prevents water from entering the structures through the vertical joints.

The correct way to fasten screws Correct Wrong Wrong Various ways of mounting panels to corners Inside and outside corners can be dealt with using wooden strips painted at the Skanfas factory to match the panel colour.
