WeatherPlank
Product Description
WeatherPlank Siding products are made of autoclaved fibre cement reinforced
calcium silicate boards that are 100% free from asbestos or sepiolite. Since
WeatherPlank is laminated of specially formulated calcium silicate mixtures
and selected fibres to form the designated thickness, unlike other siding
boards made of vinyl or timber materials, maintenance cost of WeatherPlank
is low.

It is designed for use in direct weathering applications when used in
conjunction with external grade textured finishes and other surface
coatings or internal decorated applications. It can hold paint finishes 3-4
times longer than other siding board materials do. It has high water vapour
permeability which helps eliminate condensation or water trapped behind the boards.
WeatherPlank Siding Products are ISO9001:2000 (Certificate of conformity of Quality Management System Certification) and ISO14001:1996 (Environmental Management System Certificate) certified and have obtained Green Product Label Award issued by National Environment Protection Bureau.
WeatherPlank is a cement reinforced calcium silicate board, which is
produced from a mixture of cement, silica, special cellulose fibres and
selected fillers to impart durability, toughness and moisture resistance.
It is then cured by an autoclaving process whereby the ingredients are
reacted together under the effects of super-heated steam and high
pressure. The synthetic cement silicate binder provides exceptional
dimensional stability and an unrivalled resistance to movement due to
effects of moisture or heat.
WeatherPlank will not rot or support fungal growth and is unaffected
by sunlight or steam. It does not contain any soluble ingredients or free
alkali which could be dissolved by moisture or condensation causing
unsightly marks. If exposed to moisture, WeatherPlank will completely
recover on drying out naturally, with no permanent loss of strength. It
will not degrade with time and within normal applications, the life of the
product is limited only by the durability of the supporting structure and
materials used in fastening.
WeatherPlank can be used in a wide variety of building applications because
of its easy working, fixing and decorating characteristics. It can also be
used at curved section. Typical applications include:
· Lap siding for façade and shop front
· Decorative curved façade
· Internal and external wall paneling
· Decorative featured wall panel
· Wet area lining
· Eaves and ceiling soffit lining
WeatherPlank is easy to cut on site with standard wood working tools. Where seamless finishes are required, it can be finished with thin coat polymeric renders or other surface coatings to give a seamless finish. Standard WeatherPlank is off-white in colour and has a high quality embossed wood-like, wood grain smooth or traditional smooth surface textures.
