fabrication

 

One of the features of DYNABOARD is that it can be processed using the same equipment as wood. It can be sawn, stapled, nailed, routed, drilled, screwed and glued.

 

A thin barrier film is adhered to the pre-finished surface to provide protection during finishing of the building interior1. SURFACE PROTECTION:

A thin barrier film has been adhered to the pre-finished surface. This is primarily to provide protection against dust and accidental spills of paint, plaster etc. during finishing of the building interior. The surface protection film should be left on during fabrication and removed by the installer after all interior work has been completed. Fabricators should be careful with the finished surface during processing, storage and transport. Although the board has resistance to damage, it can be scratched if dragged across another hard surface.

 

2. SAWING: DYNABOARD can be sawn using standard wood working machinery, with a fine toothed blade giving best results. To avoid damaging the finished surface, power saw with the back of the board facing the blade.

 

3. CORNERS: For best results corners should be mitre cut, glued and fixed the same as wood reveals. Typical fixing methods include stapling, nailing and screwing. If using automatic tools for fixing, such as a pneumatic stapler, the pressure may need to be reduced compared with that for wood. If gluing is desired, use a PVC glue such as Marley MCS solvent cement. Care should be taken to avoid glue contact with pre-finished surfaces.

 

4. CURVED WINDOWS: Because DYNABOARD is made from a thermoplastic PVC, it is relatively simple to bend it to form curved windows.

 

5. TRANSPORTING FINISHED WINDOWS: Treat DYNABOARD as you would for other finished surfaces such as powder coated aluminium by protecting it when transporting to the installation site. Exposed surfaces should be covered with a protective material such as cardboard or cloth, particularly where they contact the transport vehicle or another hard surface.

 

6. STORAGE: Boards should be stored in their original packaging or on bearers at 600mm centres, with no other materials being laid on top. Incorrect storage may result in buckling or distortion.

Typical corner fixing methods include stapling, nailing and screwing.
