RECOMMENDATION
• Cut the board using an electrical saw.
• Use zinc self-tapping screws with a metal frame of less than 0.7mm to fix the boards.
• Use zinc self-drilling for a metal frame greater than 0.7mm to fix the boards.
• Vertical screw spacing for the first layer of Cboard® is 25cm, 50cm for the second, and
75cm for the third.
STORAGE & HANDLING
• Avoid contact with moisture or high temperatures for prolonged periods of time.
• Store in a dry/ventilated area above ground level (not in direct contact with the ground).
• Cover the boards with plastic sheets.
• Avoid direct rain or sunlight.
• Avoid cracking or damaging the boards during installation.
