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

• Use specialized joint compound
• Apply fiberglass mesh tape
• Fill joints in multiple passes
• Sand smooth when dry

✪ Preventing Common Issues

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