the installation. The installation MUST be carried out in
accordance with these instructions including the use
of all trims and accessories.
InnoWood ceiling must be supported by a code compliant substructure.
InnoWood ceiling products are ideal for renovation.

Site storage & Handling
InnoCeil should not be stored in the open or covered
wrapped with plastic sheet, InnoCeil is finish product,
do not dump or dropped when loading or unloading.

Thermal Movement
Any wood based products will expand and contract
slightly with changes in temperature, the amount of
expansion varies according to the amount of changes of 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 that have been exposed to the 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 the boards as it is being
installed.

Care & Maintenance
“INNOWOOD product is a low-maintenance material.”
General Cleaning
INNOWOOD is an advanced composite material does not splinter, mildew, is water, fire
resistance and termite proof. It is also simple
and easy to maintain.
INNOWOOD product is a low-maintenance
material; composite wood requires simple
care and handling to ensure lasting integrity. We recommend conducting 6 monthly
inspections.
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, normal procedure as following:
•
Immediately wipe the spot stain area
and remove as much of the spill as possible.
•
If the spill consists of an abrasive substance, blot the spill. Do not rub.
11
•
Soak the stained area with warm water and blot up with a soft towel.
•
If the stain is still evident, mix a solution
of mild dishwashing detergent and warm
water in a small bucket.
•
Using a clean towel or soft sponge,
apply the soapy solution to the stain and allow to stand for 3 minutes.
•
After the stain has soaked wipe with a
clean towel or sponge.
If the stains have set on material and can’t
be removed by soap and water, is recommend use “Methylated Spirit (mix ratio 3:7) or
IntergrainReviva (mix ratio 1.:4)”, to remove
heavy stains, an application of diluted sprit
or Reviva (follow instructions as stated on
packaging) rub lightly on effected area and
wash down with clean water. Please note
Reviva will lighten the colour of the boards.
Trouble shooting
General dirt and debris
Disposal of Innoceil offcuts
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.
Spray with a hose to remove surface debris. Use warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush to clear dirt and/or debris from

Safely dispose of Innowood cladding as
per local legislation.
Oil,grease,food and drink
Remove and wipe as soon as possible. Spray
with a hose and use warm soapy water and
a soft-bristled brush. Pressure wash to more
stubborn stains. Any surface stain that has
been absorbed can be easily removed with
a light, progressive sanding.
Ice and snow
Use a plastic shovel or broom to remove
snow. Use rock salt or calcium chloride to
melt ice.
Rust stains and engrained dirt
•
Do not burn.
•
Treat as construction waste.
•
If unsure, consult your local governing body/ council.
Scuffs, surface indents and
marks
Sanding should only be used for very stubborn stains and to a maximum depth of
0.5mm. Most marks blend naturally after
certain period. Please note: All timber
based products will release tannins but
these will naturally stabilise after approximately 12 weeks, depending on the temperature, UV and exposure to rain.
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.
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 conventional timber or metal
framing systems. Please contact us for any other installation method.
