Description

Stria™ Cladding is a cavity-based fibre cement panel wall cladding system.

Stria™ Cladding consists of Stria™ Cladding Panel, which is a 14mm profile fibre cement panel, fixed horizontally or vertically over battens to form a nominal 20 mm cavity.

Proprietary ventilated timber battens are used in the vertical application. The cladding is finished with a latex paint system.

The cladding system incorporates a primary and secondary means of weather resistance (first and second lines of defence) against water penetration by separating the cladding from the external wall framing with a nominal 20 mm cavity.

The cavity allows for any occasional ingress of water that may get past the external skin to drain to the exterior of the building, and any remaining moisture to dry by evaporation.

Scope

The system is designed to be used as part of an external cladding system on timber framed building.

The Stria™ Cladding panels are pre-primed with an acrylic primer on the front face and edges. The Stria™ Cladding panels are 14 mm thick and are available 325 mm or 405 mm wide by 4200 mm long.

They are manufactured from a reduced density cellulose fibre cement formulation. The panels are formed, cut to length and then cured by high-pressure autoclaving. After autoclaving, a profile is machined on the top edge of the front face, and a rebated lap is machined on the bottom of the back face of the panel.

The front edge at the bottom of the board and the board ends are finished square. The Stria™ Cladding panels are manufactured to meet the requirements of AS/NZS 2908.2.
