Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure you are using appropriate power tools with adjustable torque settings. Predrilling pilot holes in the timber frame, especially near the edges, can prevent splitting and make installation easier. Drive the screws straight into the material, ensuring the washer makes firm contact with the fibre cement surface without over-tightening, which could damage the material or the screw head.
Compatibility: These screws are specifically designed for use with fibre cement boards and timber substrates. They are not recommended for use in metal framing or masonry without appropriate anchors or adapters.
Care: Store screws in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the BZP coating. Clean any dust or debris from the installed screws using a soft cloth if necessary. Regular inspection of external fixings is recommended to ensure continued performance.
