Installation Preparation
As a professional calcium silicate board manufacturer, we recommend the following preparations before installation:
- Verify design drawings match actual dimensions
- Check that the framing is level and secure
- Prepare professional cutting tools
- Have all necessary fasteners ready (self-tapping screws, etc.)
5-Step Professional Installation Process
1. Board Cutting and Preparation
- Cut precisely to required dimensions
- Field bevel edges when height exceeds 2440mm
- Use professional tools for clean cuts
- Pre-cut openings for utilities
2. Layout and Pilot Holes
- Mark screw locations with chalk lines
- Pre-drill countersink holes (1-2mm larger than screw head)
- 15mm from board edges
- 50mm from board corners
- Maintain 200-250mm screw spacing
3. Board Placement
- Install vertically (long edges on studs)
- Fit boards naturally without forcing
- Stagger joints on opposite sides
- Avoid aligning joints on same stud
4. Fastening Techniques
- Pre-drill holes (1mm smaller than screw diameter)
- Fasten from center outward
- Set screw heads 1mm below surface
- Use specialized self-tapping screws
- Apply uniform fastening pressure
5. Special Area Treatment
- Keep joints away from door/window frames
- Leave proper expansion gaps
- Use reinforced framing
- Add extra fastening at joints
Key Professional Installation Tips
✪ Critical Joint Treatment

- Cracking: Maintain ≤400mm stud spacing
- Warping: Store boards in dry conditions
- Loosening: Use anti-backout screws
- Unevenness: Verify framing is level before installation
