Installation and fixing
The board is suitable for use with a variety of adhesives and fasteners, allowing flexibility in installation methods. For wall applications, use appropriate adhesive or mechanical fixings such as nails or screws at regular intervals. Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and level before installation. The profiled edge provides additional support and helps prevent warping or bending during and after installation. Allow adequate spacing for natural movement, particularly in areas subject to temperature or humidity fluctuations.

Finishing and maintenance
The board arrives with a smooth primed surface, ready for painting or decorating. The moisture resistant primer provides a stable base for topcoat application, reducing the need for extensive surface preparation. Apply quality interior paint or stain according to manufacturer's instructions. The smooth finish ensures even paint coverage and professional results. For long-term durability, maintain the painted surface and avoid prolonged exposure to standing water or excessive moisture.

Handling and storage on site
Store the board flat or upright in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and moisture sources. Protect from weather exposure during transport and on site. The 5.49 metre length requires adequate storage space and careful handling to prevent damage to the profiled edge. Allow the material to acclimatise to site conditions before installation, particularly in areas with significant temperature or humidity variations. Handle with care to avoid denting or crushing the primed surface.
