• Substrate Preparation & Weather Barrier: Ensure wall sheathing is flat and clean. Install an approved weather-resistive barrier to manage moisture draining.
• Clearance Requirements: Maintain a minimum 2-inch clearance from paths, steps, and driveways, and 6 inches above finished grade to prevent moisture absorption.
• Specialized Cutting Tools: Use dust-reducing shears or circular saw blades specifically designed for fiber cement to maintain clean cuts and control silica dust. 
• Fastening & Jointing: Fasten using corrosion-resistant hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel nails. Butt joints must be installed factory-to-factory with joint flashing placed directly behind every seam.
