Installation tips and requirements
INNOWOOD products can be worked with ordinary woodworking tools such as:
Circular Saw
Cordless Drill
Crosscut Mitre Saw
Level&Chalk Line
Carpenters Square
Tape Measure
NOTE:
To ensure long- term performance, we recommend that
a professional trade person carry out the installation. The
installation MUST be carried out in accordance with these
instructions including the use of all trims and accessories.
Site storage & product handling
Thermal movement
• INNOWOOD boards should not be stored in the open
or covered or wrapped with plastic sheet, INNOWOOD
board is finish product, do not dump or drop when
loading or unloading. Always handle with care.
Any wood based products will expand and contract
with changes in temperature. The amount of
expansion varies according to the amount of changes
in temperature. Although thermal movements are
reversible, these movements due to temperature
change may vary by up to 2mm per meter during the
installation process.
• INNOWOOD boards should be carried on their edge
for better support.
• When removing INNOWOOD boards from the pack, do
not slide boards against each other, lift the boards and
set them down carefully.
• INNOWOOD boards should be unpacked and stored
undercover on dry and flat surface supported at max
600mm centres.
• When handling INNOWOOD boards take care to avoid
scratches, nicks and other damage to the boards.
• INNOWOOD board should store under cover until
ready to install.
• INNOWOOD boards should be stored under cover
and protected from the elements (including direct
sunlight and rain) until ready to install. Keep packs
strapped until ready to install.
INNOWOOD boards that have been exposed to
direct sun for several hours, prior to installation will
have expanded more than those boards left in the
shade. When installed, the hotter boards will contract
more than the cooler boards that were left in the shade
prior to installation. It is important to maintain an
average consistent temperature for all
boards as they are being installed. Install at a nominal
20 - 25 degree Celsius. INNOWOOD products can
tolerate a temperature range from -20°C to +65°C,
If the product is to be used in an environment outside
of this temperature range, please consult INNOWOOD.
Please bear in mind that:
• Where INNOWOOD boards are to be screw fixed,
holes must be pre-drilled before fixing (both
INNOWOOD boards and accessories).
• The clearance hole to be drilled must be slightly
greater than the outside screw thread diameter.
• Screws must be minimum 10mm but maximum 50mm
away from board edges.
• INNOWOOD products must not be used for any
structural purpose.
• The cut surface must be sealed with a layer of
protective coating such as a water based deck sealer
before installation.
• When exposed to direct sunlight, surface temperature
may be approx. 20 - 25 than ambient temperature.

Framing construction requirements
Steel framing
INNOWOOD cladding may be fixed to
seasoned timber or steel stud wall framing
members or to a proprietary batten system.
Steel framing must comply with AS/NZS 4600:
Cold-Formed Steel Structure or AS 3623:
Domestic Metal Framing.
Battens spacing for INNOWOOD cladding
is nominally set at 450mm centres for urban
and non-cyclonic wind load areas. For higher
wind-load areas may be accommodated by
reducing batten spacing or contact our office.
In common with all cladding the adequacy
of a proposed installation should always be
checked by a qualified engineer. Battens,
noggins and trimmers must have a face not less
than 45mm for timber and 38 mm for steel. This
is especially important in locations whereby
boards butt end to end.
Where steel framing members are specified, use
only corrosion resistant galvanized steel framing.
Specific instructions for fixing to steel frames are
included where appropriate.
Where studs are less than the required
minimum face-width under a joint, sufficient
landing must be provided by fixing an
additional batten or trimmer.
Timber framing must comply with AS 1684:
Timber Framing Code.
It is important to use adequately seasoned
timber to minimise shrinkage and associated
building movement, which may damage the
cladding system.

Use a string, spirit or laser level to establish the lowest point (no less than 150mm
clearance to ground) of the cladding around the perimeter of the building. Fix the J mould
starter to the studs or bottom wall plate, at each stud position, using the string, spirit or
laser level to keep the starter strip in a true and level plane.
NOTE
- Provision should be made for adequate drainage and ventilation behind the cladding.
- All screws are minimum 10mm but maximum 50mm away from board edges.

Butt Joint treatment
Face Fixing
To minimise the thermal movement of cladding boards (especially areas where
harsh direct sunlight and significant temperature differences exist), both ends of
butt joint must be screw fixed onto back structure. We recommend countersunk
head screw to be used to flush with board surface, paint the screw head to match
the colour of cladding if necessary.
DO NOT fix too close to the edge of cladding boards, all screws are minimum 10mm but maximum 50mm away
from board edges.
10
“T”-bar Aluminium Cover
Use INNOWOOD “T” - bar aluminium cover for butt joint fixing to add a distinct
character of your cladding.
Please set up double joists where butt joint is required.
Sealants might be necessary when installing WC24025/20025/13625.
Paint the external surface to match the colour of cladding if necessary.
Pre-drilling and sealing of cut surfaces with InnoCoat or similar are essential.

6.2 CARE & MAINTENANCE
INNOWOOD product is a low-maintenance
material; composite wood requires simple
care and maintenance to ensure lasting
integrity. It is best to complete cleaning when
the board surface is cool to prevent cleaners
from drying/evaporating on the board surface.
Many stains can be cleaned with soap and
water, as per normal procedure as follows:
INNOWOOD takes no responsibility for damage
to the INNOWOOD product if InnoCoat has not
been applied in strict compliance with the current
provision of the related InnoCoat application
manual.
•
Immediately wipe the spot stain area
with a soft cloth and remove as much of the
spill as possible.
•
If the spill consists of an abrasive
substance, blot the spill. Do not rub.
•
Soak the stained area with warm water
and blot up with a soft towel.
•
Using a clean cloth or soft sponge,
apply a s mild soapy solution to the stain and
allow to stand for 3 minutes.
•
After the stain has soaked wipe with a
clean cloth or sponge.
General dirt and debris
INNOWOOD is like any wood product, when
exposed to UV, INNOWOOD Board will oxidise
and show discolouration, the colour will revert
to its silver / grey colour, however it can be
revived by re-coating.
To maintain and protect the colour and
extend the life of your INNOWOOD Board,
regular simple maintenance is recommended.
Conducting routine 6-monthly maintenance
inspections are recommended to determine
when re-coating is required.
It is time to re-apply coating when your
InnoBoard surface begins to show signs of
fading or dullness, InnoCoat is quick and easy
to apply, InnoCoat will instantly bring back the
colour to your INNOWOOD Board.
For more information, please download and
read the InnoCoat Instruction from our website.
6.3 TROUBLE SHOOTING
Spray with a hose to remove surface debris. Use
warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush to
clear dirt and/or debris from grooves or contours.
Pressure wash to remove more stubborn stains.
Oil,grease,food and drink
Remove and wipe as soon as possible. Spray with
a hose and use warm soapy water and a softbristled brush. Pressure wash to more stubborn
stains.
Ice and snow
Use a plastic shovel or broom to remove snow. Use
rock salt or calcium chloride to melt ice.
Rust stains and ingrained dirt
Cleaning products containing Oxalic or Phosphoric
Acid can be used but DO NOT use bleach as this
will lighten the cladding. With any cleaning product,
test it on a small, inconspicuous area first, following
manufacturer’s instructions.
Disposal of INNOWOOD offcuts
Safely dispose of Innowood cladding as per local
legislation.
•
Do not burn.
•
Treat as construction waste.
•
If unsure, consult your local governing
body/ council.
These Guidelines are subject to modifications without notice. Drawings & sketches are for illustration
purpose only. Purchasers should verify whether any changes to specifications or applications or
otherwise have been made since this literature was issued. This installation manual is only suited for
