Framing and Fixing
Framing: SHERA Shiplap 'Splendid' Plank can be fixed to both timber frames (minimum size 1.5 x 3 inch) or steel frames (thickness between 0.55 and 1.6 mm).
Framing must be selected to provide sufficient strength to support the SHERA Splendid Plank siding.
Fixing: SHERA Splendid Planks can be fastened with nails or screws. It can be nailed directly to timber supports with round wire nails. When using metal screws, the size and length of the screw will be dependent on thickness of the Plank and the gauge of framing.
Pre-drilling the board is a must unless self-embedding, self-drilling head screws such as SHERA FIX-W32G8 are used.
Installation
 |  |
Fasteners must be located at more than 12 mm from plank edges and 20 mm from plank ends. SHERA Splendid Plank installation must be started at the bottom of the frame. Ship-lapping widths for each profile are different, see Installation manual for effective cover of each profile.
Tools:
No special tools are required. The product can be used with normal nails, fastened by normal or self-drilling screws and cut by electric power saw with diamond blade.
