4 | Shera Weatherboard Technical Manual | June 2021
1.3 Building Regulations Shera Weatherboard is an Acceptable Solution in terms of the New Zealand Building Code compliance pathway, please refer to BRANZ Appraisal for more information.
Clause B1 Structure
The mass of the 180mm wide Shera Weatherboard when installed on the wall is 24.4kg/m2 at equilibrium moisture content (EMC). Shera Weatherboard is therefore considered a light wall cladding in terms of NZS 3604.
The Shera Weatherboard will resist impacts likely to be encountered in normal residential use. The likelihood of impact damage to the cladding when used in light commercial situations should be considered at the design stage, and appropriate protection such as the installation of bollards and barriers provided for vulnerable areas.
Shera Weatherboard is suitable for use in all Wind Zones of NZS 3604 up to, and including, Extra High where buildings are designed to meet the requirements of NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/AS1, Paragraph 1.1.
Clause B2 Durability
Shera Weatherboard has an LBA durability appraisal, ref Report 171204-02, which assesses the products to meet the following NZBC Clause B2 Durability requirements:
• Cladding fibre-cement Shera Weatherboard meets the NZBC durability requirement of not less than 15-year service life according to clause B2.3.1(b).
Clause C3 Fire affecting areas beyond the fire source
Shera Weatherboard meet the requirements of NZBC C3.7, the product being non-combustible.
Shera Weatherboard has been tested in accordance with ISO 5660.1, ref BRANZ Test Report FH06307-002, and meets the requirements of the NZBC Clause C Acceptable Solutions Paragraph 5.8. The weatherboard is classified as Type A (when finished with a paint coating of not more than 1.0mm in thickness. Therefore, the product is suitable for use on buildings at any distance to the relevant boundary.
Clause E2 External Moisture
Shera Weatherboard has been tested and complies with the requirements of AS/NZS 2908: Part 2 – Cellulose-cement products flat sheet, classified as Category 4 for Type A.
Shera Weatherboard incorporates a first and second line of defence against water penetration by separating the cladding from the external wall framing with a nominal 20mm cavity. The cavity allows for any occasional ingress water that may get past the external skin to drain to the exterior of the building, and any remaining moisture to dry by evaporation.
Details within this manual must be followed to defend against moisture entry for all joints, penetrations and junctions.
Weathertightness details that are developed by the designer are non-standard details and outside the scope of the BRANZ Appraisal and are the responsibility of the designer for compliance with the NZBC.
Clause F2 Hazardous Building Materials
Shera Weatherboard meets the requirement NZBC Clause F2 Hazardous Building Materials, as asbestos was not detected, ref. Report 1745344-A2P-1m, and will not present a health hazard to people when installed and handled as per this manual.

1.5 Storage & Handling
• Shera Weatherboard are packed on pallets. They must be kept dry during transport.
• Shera Weatherboard must be horizontally stacked on a flat surface.
• Shera Weatherboard must always be sufficiently supported so that they do not sag.
• They must be stored in a dry ventilated space.
• If Shera Weatherboard are stored outside, they must always be protected against rain and sun by a tarpaulin or plastic sheet.
• Long-term storage of Shera Weatherboard outside is not recommended, as changes in humidity may cause bowing in boards.
• If they do become wet in the packing, all packaging must be removed, and they must be wiped dry and placed in a way that they can dry completely. DO NOT install damp or wet boards.
• Shera Weatherboard must always be lifted from a stack by two people and then be carried on edge.
• Site damage or mishandling of Shera Weatherboard does not constitute as product failure.
• Storage and handling of all materials supplied by Pacific Build Supply Limited or the contractor, whether on site or off site, is under the control of the building contractor.
• Any accessories must be stored so they are kept clean, dry and undamaged. All accessories must be used within the maximum storage period recommended by the manufacturer.
1.6 Health and safety – Work
• While the weatherboards are being processed, dust will be released which may irritate airways and eyes. It is recommended that a minimum P2 dust mask and safety goggles be worn.
• Always warn others in the immediate area when cutting/sanding/drilling/etc.
• Appropriate dust extraction or proper ventilation should be used depending on the room in which the work is being carried out or the equipment being used.
• Long-term exposure to inhalation of dust containing crystalline silica can be harmful to health.
• Clean-up methods include vacuuming with a vacuum cleaner or if sweeping, dampen or wet the sawdust to suppress dust. Waste may be disposed of by landfill in compliance with New Zealand requirements.
• NEVER dry sweep as it may excite silica dust particles into the user’s breathing area.
• For more information, a Shera Products Material Safety Data sheet is available on request.
1.7 Working Guidelines
For onsite cutting:
• With a stationary saw, slow rotation with tungsten carbide-tipped blade or fast rotation with a fluted diamond cutting blade.
• With a hand circular saw (with rail), slow rotation with tungsten carbide-tipped blade or fast rotation with a fluted diamond cutting blade.
• With a jigsaw with tungsten carbide-tipped tooth cutting blade.
• Conventional woodworking equipment can be used but in general wear faster and have lower quality edges.
Drilling:
• For holes: TCT Drill (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) or tile & glass drill bit, with spear tipped.
• For round apertures: cup drill or circular cutter, carbide-tipped.
• The weatherboard should be supported around the hole to be drilled (e.g. by a wooden surface).
• Cutting and drilling must take place in a dry environment.
Example of spear tipped

3 Installation Guide The methods selected for this guide are based on experience from sites & have proven to give the best results. The sequence of the work steps as well as their implementation may vary due to different building situations.
3.1 Timber Framing ▪ Confirm that substrate is timber framing treated as required by NZBC B2/AS1 and built to NZBC B1/AS1.
▪ Check waterproofing membrane is installed in place and if necessary, recessed into framing to reduce bulking.
▪ Intermediate studs at max. 600mm centres and nogs at max. 800mm centres.
▪ Check alignment of framing i.e. studs & nogs straight and true, upper framing aligning with lower framing.
▪ Check for double studs at window/door openings & internal corners.
▪ Check additional framing is added around penetrations for support, if required.
▪ Ensure the moisture content of the timber framing is to NZS 3602 requirements, i.e. max. moisture content of 24% when cladding is installed. If weatherboards are fixed to framing with higher moisture content, problems may occur later due to excessive timber shrinkage.
3.2 Wall Underlay ▪ A flexible or rigid wall underlay, that meets NZBC E2/AS1 Table 23, must be installed as per E2/AS1 Paragraphs 9.1.5-
9.1.7 behind the Shera Weatherboard cladding
▪ Confirm wind zone is within NZS 3604. If Extra High wind zone, a rigid wall underlay is required. Refer E2/AS1 Clause 9.1.7.2
▪ The selected wall underlay must be installed as per the underlay manufacturer’s instructions prior to the installation of the cavity battens and Shera Weatherboard cladding.
3.2.1 Flexible Wall Underlay
▪ Install as per the flexible wall underlay manufacturer’s instructions and E2/AS1 Paragraph 9.1.7.1.
3.2.2 Rigid Wall Underlay
▪ Shera RWU (Rigid Wall Underlay) 6mm or 9mm can be used as a rigid wall underlay behind Shera Weatherboard cladding. Refer to the Shera RWU manual for more information.
▪ If another rigid wall underlay is used, install as per the selected rigid wall underlay manufacturer’s instructions and E2/AS1 Paragraph 9.1.7.2.
3.3 Opening Preparations, Joinery & Flashings ▪ Shera Weatherboard is to be used with aluminium window and door joinery that is installed with vertical jambs and
horizontal heads and sills that meets the requirements of NZS 4211 for the relevant Wind Zone.
▪ Prior to window/door installation, any wall openings must be flashed as per E2/AS1 Paragraph 9.1.5 and as per the selected wall underlay and tape manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure a continuous seal is achieved and all exposed wall framing in the opening is protected.
▪ Ensure any head or inter-storey flashings are installed prior to cavity battens and are sealed with a flexible flashing tape, or additional layer of wall underlay over the upstand, refer E2/AS1 9.1.10.3.
▪ At window/door heads, check head flashings incorporate 10mm turn-ups as stop ends and extend 30mm past joinery.
▪ For very high and extra high wind zones, seal head flashing to the top edge of the window joinery.
▪ Install Meterbox, seal and rivet angle to meterbox and to head flashing, as per E2/AS1 Fig. 69. Also, refer to details PSL.4.11 & 12.
▪ If Aluminium flashings are installed against timber battens, ensure separation is created between dissimilar materials, i.e. Flashing tape or PVC Duct tape.
28 | Shera Weatherboard Technical Manual | June 2021
3.4 Cavity Closer ▪ A cavity closer (vermin-proofing) shall be installed, as per E2/AS1 Paragraph 9.1.8.3, above window/door heads and at
the base of the drained cavity. Cavity closer must be positioned to allow a min. drip edge to bottom edge of Shera Weatherboard; 10mm at base of walls and 15mm above window/door head flashings.
▪ Selected cavity closer must include holes/slots to provide a min. ventilation opening are of 100mm2 per lineal metre of wall. It is important the holes/slots in cavity closer are kept clear and unobstructed to maintain draining and venting of the cavity.
3.5 Cavity Battens ▪ Timber cavity battens shall be as per E2/AS1 Paragraph 9.1.8.4, be nominal 20mm thick, min. 45mm wide and min.
H3.1 treated as per B2/AS1 1D.10 durability requirements.
▪ Battens will be fixed by the Shera Weatherboard fixings, which will penetrate the wall framing. Therefore, the battens will only need to be temporarily tacked on, until the weatherboard is fixed.
▪ Previously, Shera Weatherboard System used structural cavity battens to reduce the fixing nail length. With this current Shera Weatherboard manual, the batten is no longer a structural component and is only a “packer” to provide the required ventilation gap between the wall underlay and weatherboard cladding.
▪ At Mid-Floor or Inter-storeys, there must be a break in the cavity battens to act as a control joint, to match the inter-storey drift demand of the project or the rigid wall underlay control joint. Nominal break min. 20mm.
3.6 Cant Strip ▪ Install Cant strip (H3.1 treated timber) horizontally behind the first / lowest weatherboard to ensure the
weatherboards are set at the correct angle. The cant strip must be continuous around the perimeter of the building. Cant strip are also required above window/door heads.
▪ Cant strip are required at mid-floor or inter-storey junctions to start weatherboard and provide support when weatherboards are fixed in the middle. Refer details PSL.3.02 & 03.
▪ Cant strip may be omitted if the selected cavity closer includes a lip that functions as a cant strip to help set the weatherboard at the correct angle.
3.7 Clearances ▪ Ensure ground clearances are maintained as per NZBC E2/AS1, Table 18. The bottom edge of the first/lowest Shera
Weatherboard must finish min. 100mm clear of paved surfaces or min. 175mm clear of unpaved surfaces. The ground clearances to finished floor levels as set out in NZS 3604 must be adhered to also. At balcony, deck or low pitch roof/wall junctions, the bottom edge of weatherboards must finish min. 35mm clear of finished surface or roof flashing.
3.8 Weatherboard Setout ▪ Shera Weatherboard must have a min. lap of 30mm. A storey rod is recommended to keep all laps and cover
consistent.
▪ The first/lowest weatherboard must over sail the bottom plate by 50mm.
▪ The weatherboards should be set out so as close to a full board, as possible, will finish under and over windows/doors, at inter-storey drained joints and at the top of the wall.
www.pacbld.com 0800 2255 727 Shera Weatherboard Technical Manual | June 2021 | 29 pacific build supply ltd
3.9 Fixings ▪ Shera Weatherboard are face fixed through the cavity battens and wall underlay, into the framing at max. 600mm
centres. To ensure the min. framing penetration is achieved, as per E2/AS1 Table 24, please refer to Table 4 below to select the correct nail length for the project.
✓ ALWAYS install dry Shera Weatherboard.
✓ ALWAYS pre-drill nail holes in weatherboard, to suit diameter of selected nail size.
✓ ALWAYS hand nailed.
✓ ALWAYS be face fixed.
✓ ALWAYS start working from the lowest weatherboard.
✓ CAN first tack on the weatherboards to hold in place until face fixed.
DO NOT gun nail fix weatherboards.
Concealed fixing is not an option.

(6) ALWAYS hand nailed. DO NOT use gun nails!
30 | Shera Weatherboard Technical Manual | June 2021
3.10 Joints: ▪ Shera Weatherboard joints must be installed as per E2/AS1 Paragraph 9.5.3.2:
a) Joints shall be positioned between studs, min. 100mm away from timber stud.
b) Stagger joints at a min. 600mm from joints in the adjacent boards.
c) Weatherproof joints with a hidden Shera Weatherboard Back Soaker, with sealant applied between ends of the boards.
▪ Ensure a paintable flexible sealant that meets E2/AS1 requirements is used and apply sealant as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
▪ Best practice when installing joints is to run a continuous bead of flexible sealant along the edge of the first weatherboard and then butt the next weatherboard against the applied sealant. Leave the sealant proud and allow it to completely cure before trimming off. This ensures sealant is applied all the way to the back of the soaker.
10.1 Corners
At Internal Corners:
▪ Square cut weatherboard ends and butt against one-piece corner flashing. Refer detail PSL.2.01.
▪ A continuous bead of flexible sealant can be applied between weatherboard and flashing.
▪ Pacific Build Supply Ltd do not supply an internal corner flashing.
At External Corners:
▪ a) Aluminium Corner Soaker - Mitre cut weatherboards and fix Shera Weatherboard Corner Soaker with 40 x 2.8mm stainless steel flat head nails at the top in the pre-punched holes. Ensure soaker cover over weatherboards min. 15mm. Refer detail PSL.2.06.
▪ b) Boxed Corner - Square cut weatherboards and cover with either Timber cover boards with timber scribers. Cut scribers to suit weatherboard and embed with flexible sealant. Pre-drill holes in weatherboards before fixing through. Refer detail PSL.2.07.
3.10.2 Floor Levels (Inter-storey Junction and Mid-Floor)
▪ When the cladding is continued over 2-storeys or over 7 metres, an inter-storey flashing must be provided to limit continuous cavities and to direct any moisture to the outside, as per NZBC E2/AS1, Paragraph 9.1.9.4 (b) requirements. Refer detail PSL.3.03. The inter-storey flashing is supplied by others.
▪ At mid-floors where an inter-storey flashing is not required, ensure the top weatherboard that is bridging the batten gap is not fixed to two separate battens. This allows for inter-storey movement. Refer detail PSL.3.02.
3.11 Pipes and Service Penetrations ▪ Ensure all pipes and penetrations have been sealed as per NZBC E2/AS1, Paragraph 9.1.9.3.
▪ Alternative BRANZ Appraised products can be used in place of flashing tapes around the penetrations, i.e. Kaflex and Roflex Grommets. Install these products as per manufacturer’s instructions.
▪ Best practice to combine both flashing tape and flange plate options for double the defence, refer detail PSL.8.01 and BRANZ Build 173 Article - Pipe penetration through exterior bevel-back weatherboard cladding.
www.pacbld.com 0800 2255 727 Shera Weatherboard Technical Manual | June 2021 | 31 pacific build supply ltd
3.12 Protective Coating ▪ Shera Weatherboard must be finished with a protective coating as per E2/AS1 Paragraph 9.5.6 and to comply with
NZBC B2 durability requirements.
3.12.1 Preparation
▪ Clean and prepare nail holes, then fill any holes with an exterior use filler, e.g. External Contract Filler or Epoxy Fairing Cream. Allow the product to completely cure and then scrape flush with a linbide scraper.
▪ Ensure the filler product is sanded to finish level with the weatherboard surface, ready for painting.
3.12.2 Painting
▪ Weatherboards must be clean and dry before commencing painting. It is the painter’s responsibility to ensure the surface is properly prepared for painting.
▪ Surface preparation may vary depending on selected paint system, always refer to the paint manufacturer’s instructions before starting painting.
▪ All exposed faces, including top edges at sills and all bottom edges of weatherboards and accessories must be finished with a min. 2-coat latex exterior paint system complying with AS 3730. One coat of contract primer, compatible for fibre cement and the selected paint, must be applied prior to the 2-coat paint finish.
▪ For long-lasting performance and beauty, the weatherboards should be painted immediately after the installation or within 90 days of installation.
▪ In harsh exposed environments special paints/coatings may be required for better performance. Refer to paint manufacturers for more information.
▪ An advantage fibre cement weatherboard has over timber weatherboards is that there is no restriction on the Light Reflectance Value (LRV) on the paint to be applied. Therefore, dark coloured paints can be used on weatherboards. Compared to light colours, dark colours may fade over time in certain environments, may require more maintenance.
▪ Paint systems are not supplied by Pacific Build Supply Ltd and have not been assessed, therefore are outside the scope of this manual and the BRANZ Appraisal.
32 | Shera Weatherboard Technical Manual | June 2021
4 Maintenance Regular maintenance is essential for the Shera Weatherboard cladding to continue to meet the NZBC durability performance requirements and to maximise their serviceable life. Listed below are what basic maintenance tasks shall include but not limited to.
Building owners are responsible for the maintenance of the Shera Weatherboard cladding as per the instructions of this manual or specific project specification.
Annual periodic clean
All facades should be annually cleaned to avoid unnecessary and high maintenance costs. As when soiling stays on a surface for longer periods of time, removal and cleaning will become increasingly more complicated.
✓ Can wash with a garden hose or high-pressure cold water for dirty surfaces caused by environmental conditions.
✓ For normal stains – can wash with warm water mixed with a mild household detergent or soft soap solution, using a soft and clean cloth, followed by rinsing with plenty of clear water afterwards.
Refer to the selected Paint manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning requirements.
Always patch test a small part of the affected area first, and once the effectiveness of the cleaning method is shown, proceed with the rest of the surface.
DO NOT waterblast cladding!
NEVER use caustic, abrasive or solvent containing cleaning agents!
NEVER wash panels in direct sun light with alkaline or acid cleaners, as may cause irreversible stains.
Annual Shera Weatherboard cladding inspection
An annual inspection of the cladding should be undertaken at the same time as the annual clean to ensure that all aspects of the cladding remain in a weatherproof condition.
Checklist:
Ensure min. ground clearances are maintained at all times during the life of the cladding as per the NZBC E2/AS1 requirements.
Ensure ventilation and drainage holes above windows, doors and soffit junctions are kept clear.
Visually inspect nail fixing holes and re-apply finishing compound to punched nail holes that are showing evidence of peaking.
Check stop end flashings around decks and windows and report any adhesion failures of sealants.
Check parapet flashings and report any damage.
Re-apply sealants to flashings at any sign of cracking or delamination, refer to sealant manufacturer’s instructions.
Refer to the selected Paint manufacturer’s instructions for recoating frequencies and requirements. Approximately recoated at 7-10 yearly intervals.
Health and safety – When Cleaning:
• Wear appropriate protective equipment, which may include gloves, eye protection and respirators.
• At all times, read the product manufacturer’s instructions or safety label before using the product.
• For the cleaning products: avoid breathing vapour, keep out of reach of children, use with adequate ventilation, do not drink or consume foods while using the cleaning products.
