Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper installation is vital for the longevity of the Durasid Foresta system. Panels should be fixed to a treated timber or compatible metal batten system that allows for adequate airflow behind the cladding to prevent moisture buildup. When installing, always leave the manufacturer-specified expansion gaps at joints and corners, as rigid foam will expand and contract with temperature fluctuations. For care, the panels are remarkably low maintenance; a simple rinse with clean water or a mild, non-abrasive detergent during your routine exterior cleaning cycle is sufficient to keep the finish looking new. Avoid using high-pressure power washers directly on the surface, as this can potentially damage the digital print layer.
