Installation GuideWhen installing Ezy-Lite™ Building products, ensure the frame or floor area is level and clean from dust or building debris.

Ezy-Lite™ Boards can be nailed screwed or fixed with nail gun to timber frame; either method requires the application of our approved adhesive to frame. The adhesive provides a permanent and everlasting bond board to frame.

Follow the installation Manuel to achieve best result on wall cladding, use Ezy-Lite™ approved adhesive and screws.

Ezy-Lite™ Panels or Boards can be installed vertically or horizontally depending on installers, either way provides a secure and everlasting wall cladding.

For walls 3.0 meters or greater in height we recommend the panels or Boards to be installed horizontal in a staggering pattern. Ezy-Lite™ Panels are made to lock into each other to provide the best wall cladding; this eliminates the possibility of any cracks to occur on joints.

Avoid too many joints by using small pieces when installing Ezy-Lite™ Panel or Boards, as this may result in cracks occurring.

Cut the sill on 10 to 15° angles for best result on sill fall, allow 15 mm gap under window flashing for render build up.

Fix external s/steel, or aluminium angles to panels on corner for capping, windows and around window perimeter topped with acrylic render.

Note:

Safety Goggles, Ear Muffs, and Dust Mask must be worn at all times when cutting with power tools.

Basic Installation Steps.

– Ensure Timber frame is level and plumb

– Cut Ezy-Lite™ Panel / Board to fit in area if required

– Place dabs approved adhesive on timber frame. See Table 2.

– Lift panel into position and fix approved fasteners. See Table 2.

– When fixing Ezy-Lite™ Panels around windows allow 20mm under flashing for sill fall

– But joint. See Diagram 3.

Either joining system requires approved adhesive to bond the two ends together for Superior bonding on corners

Installing Ezy-Lite™ Board Super Nova Boards requires same principal as plaster, although our Boards have strength and fire rating the same Fasteners and bonding Adhesive may be used.

Note.

Do not install Ezy-Lite™ Boards/Panels on wet timber frame and uneven frame the result may be poor in adhesive, the framed must be plumbed for straightness before installing Ezy-Lite™ Boards or Panels.

The performance of every wall joint is the responsibility of it’s installer, as this is governed by the standard of workmanship and installation practices.

Fixing MethodsScrewing & NailingFor fixing it is recommended to use countersunk Galvanized Screw 8-10g and length of 40-50mm. Fixings spaced at 200-250 mm centers, fixings should be 15mm from the edge of the board and all edges should coincide with support structures. Thinner boards can be stapled with rust-proof staples.

CuttingA cut should be made on the face side up (Smooth Face) using a sharp Stanley knife. Place a straight edge along the Ezy-Lite™ board then score with knife. Using both hands snap over a straight edge. For smooth and clean cut, use a circular saw, ensure proper safety goggles, dust mask and ear muffs are employed when using power tools on Ezy-Lite™ Boards/Panels. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for safe use.

JoiningEzy-Lite™ is suitable for fixing to timber and metal framing, timber studs are spaced at 450mm centers as per AS/1684. The boards should be butted up together, use back blocking when boards don’t meet at studs, placing fire rated sealants between all joints.

PaintingImportant to ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry and free from any dust or sanding residue before applying paint. Using brand name paints usually give better results; always follow the paint manufacturer recommendations. Use acrylic primer or undercoating to board surface before applying final coating.

Any traditional Acrylic paint can be used on Ezy-Lite™ Boards or Panels, for internal use one coat primer without the use of anti- alkaline primer, Ezy-Lite™ Boards are 100% mold resistant.

For External application apply primer and sealer (refer to paint manufacturers specifications). Prior to painting ensure all boards are free from dust, grease or substances which may affect the bonding or painting.

TilingEzy-Lite™ Board is considered as one of the best products on the market for tiling internal or externally. It is recommended that only flexible tile adhesive be used for tile applications. Please refer to adhesive manufacturer for suitability and application.

RenderingEzy-Lite™ Panel/Board was tested by Haymes for an Acrylic rendering system; the approved system is available on request. However, the use of any approved Acrylic render system; including Duluxe is applicable.

Intallation of Ezy-LiteTM

Slimline BoardThe installation of Ezy-Lite™ slimline board is similar to that of weatherboard installation on timber frame. The main benefit od using Ezy-Lite™ slimline board is that it will never rot or delaminate; nor will it require on going maintenance.

Whilst having the look of weatherboard, Ezy-Lite™ slimline board can be used on building sites in ‘High Risk Fire Zone’.
