reinorced cement buiding products. The basic

composition is portand cement, ground sand, ceuose

iber and water. HardieFex Cement Boards are

manuactured to AS/NZS 2908.2 Ceuose-Cement

Products Part 2: Fat Sheets (ISO 8336 Fiber Cement

Fat Sheets). HardieFex Cement Boards are cassiied

Type B, Category 3 in accordance with AS/NZS 2908.2.

Asbestos-Free: HardieFex Cement Boards do not

SCOPE

This manua covers the use o the HardieFex Fiber

Cement Boards in a residentia was appication over a

seasoned timber rame or a ight gauge stee rame.

DESIGN

General

A design and constuction must compy with the

appropriate requirements o the current Nationa Buiding

Code o the Phiippines and other appicabe reguations

and standards.

Responsibility

The specier or other party responsibe or the projectmust ensure that the detais in this specication are

appropriate or the intended appication and that additiona

detaiing is perormed or specic design or any areas that

a outside the scope o this specication.

FRAMING

General

HardieFex Cement Boards can be xed to either timber

or ight gauge domestic type stee raming. The raming

used must compy with the reevant buiding reguations

and standards and the requirements o this manua.

NOTE:Ensure a sheet edges are uy supported with

raming members.

Timber

Use onl sesoned (kiln dried) tiber. Unsesoned tiber

must not be used, as it is prone to shrinkage and can

cause the sheets and rames to move. The minimum stud

width at joints is 35mm.

Steel

The size o the stee stud raming shoud be 0.55mm-

1.6mm base meta thickness (BMT).

Stee sections shoud be gavanized or zinc coated. Frame

members must not be ess than 35mm wide.

Preparation Of Frame

Ensure rame is square and straight, and work rom a

centra datum ine. Frames must be straight to provide a

fush ace to receive the sheeting.

A suggested maximum toerance o between 3mm and

4mm in any 3m ength o rame wi give best resuts.

HardieFex Cement Boards wi not straighten

excessivey warped or distorted rames and any warping

may sti be visibe ater the interna ining is appied.

WINDOW AND DOOR OPENINGS

In norma situations, the end joints shoud not coincide

with corners o doors or window openings. Ensure sheet

edges do not coincide with the side o the door or window

opening b iniu distnce o 200. Reer to

Figure 3 where end joints occur, they shoud be uy

supported by raming and coincide with the centerine

o a stud, nogging or pate. This is to ensure sucient

edge cearance or naiing or screwing o adjoining sheets

aong the sheet edges. Where was are cad on both sides

with HardieFex Cement Boards, ensure that sheet

joints are staggered across the wa.

A construction must be carried out in accordance with the

reevant buiding reguations and standards.

HardieFex Cement Boards must not be xed directy to

drawn stee or hot roed stee sections. These shoud be

battened out with either a 50mm thick timber batten or

ight guage meta urring channe.

Stee studs must be rmy secured to top and bottom

pates, and rames must be rigid and not rey on the

HardieFex Cement Boards to provide bracing.

GENERAL

HardieFex Cement Board may be inished with paint,

ties or wapaper as required. The appication and

maintenance o these inishes must be in accordance

with the manuacturers speciications.

GLANCING LIGHT

In some instances, due to gancing ight, set joints may

be noticeabe in HardieFex Was, especiay where

paint inishes have a high goss eve. Work cosey with

your buider or designer to minimize this.

Artiicia ighting needs to be considered in reation to

was (e.g. down-ights in ceiings above set joints inwas). Wa joints shoud run in the direction o the ight

source (at right anges to windows).

Where gancing ight is an issue, its eect can be

essened by:nThe use o curtains or bindsn Artiicia ight shading devicesn Use o light coloured, tt inish pints

PAINT FINISHES

Prior to appication o paint inishes, remove any residua

sanding dust and ensure the surace is suitabe or paintappication.

HardieFex Cement Boards must have a minimum

o two coats o acryic/atex paint appied ater ixing.

Coating shoud be competed within 1 month o sheet

erection. Use onl qulit 100% crlic/ltex pints.

Economy paints are not recommended because generay

they are ess we bound, ess moisture resistant, and

ore prone to old growth. Dp, shd situtions,

agricuture or sea spray environments may induce an

extr tendenc or old growth. Use old inhibiting

and akaine resistant undercoats and consut the paintmanuacturer or maximum mod resistant paints. Aways

oow the paint manuacturers recommendation or paint

suitabiity, mixing and appication.

NOTE

Use o seler cot or preprtion undercot is

recommended.

6 FINISHES AND MAINTENANCE

CORNICES

It is recommended that the edge o the HardieFex

Cement Board is wetted with a sponge prior to adhesive

ixing o cornices.

MAINTENANCE

James Hardie recommends that the ceaning and

maintenance o a inishes be undertaken reguary as

per the recommendations o the manuacturer. Joints

must aso be maintained and be ree o dirt and grime.

WARNING: DO NOT BREATHE THE DUST AND CUT ONLY IN

WELL VENTILATED AREA

James Hardie products contain sand, a source o

respirabe crystaine siica which is considered by some

internationa authorities to be a cause o cancer rom

some occupationa sources. Breathing excessive amounts

o respirabe siica dust can aso cause a disabing and

potentiay ata ung disease caed siicosis, and has been

inked with other diseases. Some studies suggest smoking

increse these risks. During instlltion or hndling:

(1) work in outdoor areas with ampe ventiation; (2)minimize dust when cutting by using either a score and

snap knie, ber cement shears or, where not easibe, use a

HardieBade Saw Bade and dust-reducing circuar saw

attached to a HEPA vacuum; (3) warn others in the

immediate area to avoid breathing dust; (4) wear a

propery-tted, approved dust mask or respirator (e.g.

N95) in accordance with appicabe government reguations

and manuacturer instructions to urther imit respirabe
