STORAGE
ARCHITECTURAL PANEL
Hardie® Panel and Hardie® Architectural Panel must be stored covered, level, and dry. Pallets must be protected against rising damp and weathering. Damp products must not be installed, or damage may occur. The cover of the pallets can be reused for dry storage.
A maximum of 5 pallets (with 25 panels each) may be stacked on top of each other. Make sure that the storage woods of the pallets are vertically on top of each other.
If the panels are not assembled immediately after delivery to the construction site, they should be stored in a protected area.
HANDLING
SURFACE
The panels should be lifted straight and not pulled over each other to avoid damage to the surface.
To lift, the panel should be erected over the narrow edge and then carried landscape by two installers.
Avoid the contact with grease/oil & silicone, as these can leave permanent stains. For safety reasons the use of clean gloves is advisable while avoiding staining the panels.
Hardie® Panel & Hardie® Architectural Panel facade panels are covered with a protective foil to protect the surface during shipping.
When repositioning the panels, make sure the foil is placed back between the panel layers to prevent surface damage.
Use mechanical lifting equipment if possible. Ensure that the vacuum is set correctly to avoid damage to the surface.
Dust should be removed immediately with a soft cloth such as a microfiber or soft brush.
