Installation
OFTEC recommend that the boards are installed in the same way they were tested, in our case to BS476 Part 22. (Test Report available here)
The Boards should be fixed onto both sides of a timber frame with insulation sandwiched between them, at approximately 300mm centres with stainless steel screws. (Timber frame and insulation not included.) All joints should be sealed with Intumescent Jointing Sealant.
We recommend a coat of Weathershield paint or masonry paint should be applied to the boards once installed.
