MATERIALS AND TOOLS YOU’LL NEED

1. Draw a diagram of each wall you want to clad. You do not have to draw it to scale. Justmarkallthemeasurementsonit,includingwindowsanddoors. 2. Take your diagram along with to your Cedral supplier. They will help you work out how many Cedral strips, lengths of profiles, and quantities of accessories you will need. The drawing at the end of this booklet is designed to help you.

PREPARE WALL(S)1

Use the chalk line to divide the wall into even sections of max. 60 cm.

Once all obstacles are removed from the façade, you are ready to prepare yourwalls by making sure that your walls and the fastenings you will use are suitable for supporting the subframe and the Cedral Click cladding. This is crucial to ensure the success of the following steps.

Drawthe layoutofthesubframedirectlyonthewall.Startbymarkingthehorizontalbaseline,thehorizontalbattens,andpossiblywheretheverticalbattensofthesubframewillbeattached.Remember to provide additional vertical battens on places where things will be attached to the façade(hinges,flowerpots,etc.)later.

Mark subframe

Max. 60 cm distance between horizontal battens


INSTALL HORIZONTAL BATTENS2Thecladdingcanbehungdirectlyonasupport frameintheCedral installationsystem.Inourexamplebelow,thesubframeisacombinationofhorizontal and vertical battens. This is easy to install and allows space for insulation. It is important to make sure the support frame is straight and level,andtosecureitwiththerightscrewtypeforyourwall.

Attach the insulation by using insulation fastenings. Ensure that the insulation is pressed tightly against the wall and that there are no gaps.

Fasten battens to the wall using the appropriate fastening material.

Whenusing horizontal battens as explained above,the horizontal batten size will determine the thickness of the insulation.

Install insulation in a staggered pattern between the horizontal battens andflushwith the timber.Avoidany potential gaps.

INSTALLATION TIP!Othersolutionsareavailabletomakeinstallationeasierinsomeapplications:

If more insulation is needed or the wall is very uneven, then adjustable brackets can be used.Askyour dealer for details.

The battens must overlap at window and door revealsby1cmormore,dependingonthewindowframe and the desired insulation.

Now protect all the battens from top to bottom by stapling a plastic strip (PE or EPDM) to them.

Order the window sill from your dealer. Measure the window sills so that they are wide enoughtoaccommodatetheCedralcladding,cavity,battens,andatleast40mmofoverhang.

WINDOW FINISHING6You will encounter a window at some point when installing the cladding. We explain below how to successfully complete such window installations.

Use a jigsaw to cut out the space you marked on the backof the strip toaccommodate thewindow, sill,and ventilation.

Withthelaststripfinishedbelowyourwindow,youcanputthesillinplace(withoutattachingit)andmarkthelocation of the sill on the next strip. Turn the strip over and trace the outline of the sill on the back of the strip. Provide a 10 mm gap between the sill and the strip for ventilation.

FINISH THE FAÇADE8

Use touch up paint to correct any damage that might have occurred during installation to ensure a neat finish.Gentlytapandsmoothoutpaintforthebestresults.

Order a made-to-measure parapet if you have aflat roof,which allows for sufficient ventilation andcoverage.

UseanaluminiumprofileoraCedralstriptocoverthe cavity and strips along the sides.

Make sure that ventilation stays open always - e.g.leaves, snow, and/or soil accumulations must beremoved.

Alternatively, a power washer can be used at amaximum of 80 bar at least 20 cm away from the cladding. Water is to be sprayed flat and wide;rotating,dirt-cuttingspraysarenotsuitable.

The strips can be cleaned by using water, a milddetergent,andasponge.
