Key Features:
1. Compatibility: Compatible with all types of Hardie® Plank cladding boards, our top ventilation strip ensures seamless integration with your cladding project, regardless of the board type or configuration.
2. Versatile Thickness Options: Available in three thicknesses—25mm, 38mm, and 50mm—to accommodate various batten sizes, providing flexibility and compatibility with different substrate configurations.
3. Optimal Ventilation: Facilitates a free-flow ventilation gap between the cladding layer and substrate, promoting air circulation to prevent moisture buildup and maintain the structural integrity of your cladding system.
4. Recommended Batten Size: Utilize the 25mm thickness for batten sizes, meeting the minimum recommended size to achieve the required ventilation gap of 20mm, ensuring optimal performance and compliance with industry standards.
5. Air Inlet and Outlet: Ensure proper ventilation by maintaining a minimum 10mm air inlet and outlet gap at the base and roofline above doors and windows, mitigating the risk of moisture accumulation and promoting a healthy environment.
6. Perforated Enclosure Recommendation: To prevent pests and debris from infiltrating the ventilation gap, we recommend utilizing a perforated enclosure, ensuring uninterrupted airflow while maintaining protection against external elements.
Installation Guidelines:
- Select the appropriate thickness (25mm, 38mm, or 50mm) based on the size of the battens being used in your cladding installation.
- Ensure the ventilation strip is installed at the top of the cladding system to allow for proper air circulation between the cladding layer and substrate.
