Product Criteria

Design requirements

The Abodo Codemark Weatherboard system has a range of profiles, exterior mouldings and accessories. Abodo has it’s tested Protector Waterborne stain colour range, along with 2 reactive coatings and can offer factory coated solutions.

It is designed for use as a cladding for residential and small commercial buildings.

It is suitable for buildings within the scope of E2/VM1 and with a 'Risk Score' of 20 or below per the Weather Tightness Risk Matrix outlined in E2/AS1.

It is suitable for buildings in wind zones up to and including Extra High as defined in NZS 3604. Buildings in wind zones Extra High and above require a rigid underlay, longer fixings and larger flashings.

Abodo Cladding- Horizontal is to be installed on either a 20mm cavity batten or 45mm structurally fixed cavity batten. Weatherboards are fixed at max 600mm centres and can be secret fixed or face fixed. Secret fixing: use flat head ring shank nails or self drilling, self counter sinking head screws so as to achieve 30mm penetration into structure and positioned 12mm from the tongue edge. Screw fixing is recommended. Face fixing: use rose or pentagon head annular groove nails (hand driven) to achieve minimum 30mm penetration into structure and positioned approximately 10mm beyond the over- lap. Note: Silicone bronze/copper fixings can be subject to oxidation during weathering, resulting in discolouration and weeping around fixing head.

Installation requirements

Abodo Cladding - Horizontal is to be installed in accordance with the Abodo Codemark Weatherboard Cladding Manual and details drawings. Please refer to Abodo website for all installation instructions and detail drawings.

Maintenance requirements

Maintenance is to be in accordance with the maintenance guidelines available on Abodo's website. Wash down every 12 months with gentle detergent, warm water and soft brush. If possible it is recommended to apply a further coat of oil after approx 12 months of weathering. Make a maintenance check every two summers. Check all weatherboards, junctions, flashings, mouldings and replace or remediate as required to maintain weather tightness of the cladding system. For heavily soiled or mouldy areas use Rejuvenator or similar timber cleaner, apply active mouldicide and recoat with penetrating oil. Re-coat every 2-4 years or as required to maintain colour and integrity of coating. Re-coat period may be longer or shorter depending on climatic conditions and/or positioning of cladding to the sun. Preparation with Rejuvenator or other similar oxalic timber cleaner is recommended prior to coating. For Sioo:x coated timber refer to specific maintenance information.
