boards. Where Ezy-Lite excels is through its high performance characteristics, and its
environmentally ‘green’ credentials.
Replacement for: Uses:
- Gypsum Plasterboard - Fire Walls / Floors / Ceilings
- Tile Backer Board - Fire Resistant Steel Protectors
- Fireproof Board - Acoustic Walls / Sound Barriers
- Exterior Cladding
- Shaft and Fire-fighting Walls
1.1

1.2
Testing
Ezy-Lite has been tested for,
Thermal Performance in accordance with AS/NZS 4859.1,
Fire Resistance Level (FRL) 60/60/60 in accordance with AS 1530.4,
a full scale 3.0 x 3.0 metre timber framed wall lined both sides with Ezy-Lite
board.
Non-combustible in accordance with AS 1530.1,
Early Fire Hazard Properties 0,0,0,0-1 to AS/NZS 1530.3

Horizontal Installation
Vertical Installation
Always install full panels where possible and avoid many joints by using small pieces
when installing Ezy-Lite Boards, as this may result in cracks occurring. Ensure timber
studs are spaced at max. 450mm centers as per AS 1684, Ezy-Lite boards should be
have max 3mm gap between and filled with fire rated sealants. When Ezy-Lite boards do
not meet on a stud, back blocking is required for vertical joints.

Installation
Before installing Ezy-Lite boards, ensure all eaves, flashings, windows and doors are
installed, as this may affect or delay the installation.
In this manual we have provided easy to follow detailed drawings and step by step
installation guide for all to understand and install correctly.
We also provide all clients a visit onsite to train installers how to install Ezy-Lite boards
in accordance with our installation guide, this is followed by another visit to the site
before render is applied to ensure the installation is carried out correctly and to issue an
FRL certificate upon completion.
Notes: Only use 8g x 65mm C3 fasteners size and type, Fuller or Bostik fire Rated
Sealants and breathable wall wrap.
Allow Max 3 mm gap between boards for Bostik or Fuller fire rated sealants, and Max 5
mm gap for Expansion joints.

When different types of materials are required for façade or wall finish, materials such as
corrugated sheets, wall tiling, timber slats, aluminum Alucabond or other types of cladding can
be installed over Ezy-Lite boards or panels without affecting the fire rating. Cladding materials
can be installed directly over Ezy-Lite boards, or battened, ensuring the battens are marked out
for fixings with the sub-frame.

23 Application and Finish
Ezy-Lite panels must be coated with render or sealed with a paint system immediately
after installation. Ezy-Lite Board must be installed in accordance with this installation
manual, we provide assistance and guide to ensure installers follow our strict
installation manual. We strongly advise clients not to use dark colours as this may cause
high temperature variations within the substrate and lead to excessive thermal
movement and cracks.
23.1 Rendering
It is the renderer’s responsibility to use the appropriate compounds in the coating
system sufficient to eliminate cracking of the joints under normal building settlement
conditions. We recommend the use of Haymes, Multitex, Quickcote or Dulux, other
brands have not been used or tested on Ezy-Lite products, therefore we do not
recommend the use of other brands.
1. Trowel on Patch approx 1 mm thick over joints then place 100mm wide alkalineresistant 5mm weave fibre-glass mesh 160g/m2) over wet rendering. Apply
aluminum angle beads to all external corners including window and door
openings. Apply a 2nd layer of patch over fibreglass mesh while patch is still wet.
(Allow drying time Min 24 hrs) refer to manufacturers specifications for drying
periods.
2. Render entire board surface with polymer modified acrylic render Quikcote
flexipatch/ Quikcote wet patch, or similar, at a minimum of 2mm thick.
3. Apply another layer of fibreglass mesh across the entire Ezy-Lite surface.
4. The mesh is to be trowelled into the surface of the wet render, positioned just
below the surface. Under no circumstances should the mesh be fixed to the walls
and render applied over it. Overlap all fibreglass mesh sheets a minimum of
50mm.
5. Ensure the entire surface is level (taking into account the joint). Make sure that
the joint is not proud of the remaining surface. Apply a second coat if the outline
of the joint and fixings is not eliminated.
6. Apply trowel-on texture/colour to entire surface, Please note: all coatings must
be applied and maintained in accordance with the coating manufacturer's
instructions.
7. Apply by roller (or mix in with color when trowelling) sealer to entire wall. The
sealer protects the color fading and waterproofing of wall.
23.2 Painting
A number of joint/coating systems have been developed by a number of painting and
rendering manufacturers which would be suitable for Ezy-Lite boards. application
systems must be chosen from reputable system providers such as Dulux, Taubmans and
Haymes. Clean all painting surface from dust and loose particles before apply 2 coats
Grip set Betta over entire Ezy-Lite board, followed by 2 coats of colour paint, refer to
manufacturers application and drying time before recoating .
23.3 Tiling
Ezy-Lite Board is recommended for tiling internal or externally, flexible tile adhesive be
used for tile applications. Please refer to adhesive manufacturer for suitability and

application information. It is also important to note that the weight loading of the tiles
depends on the thickness of the Ezy-Lite Boards used, and stud centers.
