Installation – Kokusai

Installation Guide

STEP 1

Complete the framework

Attach battens, noggins or metal furring strips for support, ensuring they are level and evenly spaced (450mm or 600mm spacing is recomended).

Attach the starter/ side channel if necessary.

STEP 2

Measure the cladding panels to fit the installation area.

Use appropriate tools (e.g., angle grinder or a circular saw with a metal blade) to cut panels as required.

STEP 3

Tongue & groove system- start from one corner or bottom edge.

Fix the first panel using screws or nails. The screws to go through the tongue of the panel (it is recomended to fix a screw every 600mm).

Then align the groove of the second panel with the tongue of the first panel.

STEP 4

Place each new panel tightly against the previous one.

Ensure proper interlocking of both panels (tongue-and-groove system).

Continue fixing panels securely while checking alignment.

Seal joints and edges if required.

STEP 5

Apply sealant or flashing where necessary to prevent water penetration and for a better finish.

Cover exposed edges with trims or angles for a finished look.

Ensure the core insulation is not exposed to water for durability.
