I don’t think so. As long as there’s some of the groove left, the board can’t seperate from the one below. Even without it, there’s still about 30mm lap, which is the same as standard Linea boards
Yeah, I think everyone who works with it, despises the stuff. I would never be putting this stuff on my house, especially horizontally - Those joints do my head in
Now that I think about it, I imagine vertical would be pretty good to install. Most of the issues we had and the flashings were waiting on are because horizontal.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.. Just a question with regards to the 10mm gap where the boards join together and the window frame, does it require a scriber to be put on to remove the gap?
I probably didn't explain that very well. The boards go 10mm under the windows flange, so there isn't a gap. It's the same around the sides as well, and the little gaps in the profile get plugs. You could make a scriber, but it would be a bit more work than a normal bevel back weatherboard
It just butts into the corner and sealed with MS. It's a cheap and reasonably tidy way of doing it. Box corners would be pretty hard to do well for these boards, I imagine.
We struggled w the recent job doing oblique vertical boards (1st time) and getting the boards to fit inside the box external angles cause hardiedetail asks for a “2 mm nominal gap” to the internal angle and the grove is 5mm so technically u need 3mm inside but the boards will start bending..wonder if you had a similar issue w externals or just went straight into just butting in. Cheers mate. Love the vids
I think I get what you mean. At the time, I thought vertical would have been a lot easier. Our biggest problem was getting it under the windows and soffit. Grind off the lip that locks it in was the that worked.
