Fiber TECHKTONA
The Techktona Boards and Planks are non-asbestos made from a
mix of cement, cellulose fiber and fire resistant fillers on hatchek
machines.

It is cured under high pressure steam curing process called

autoclaving for dimensional stability and durability.
Techktona products have a natural grainy texture that can take on
any color, giving you amazing flexibility in design.

The products having excellent resistance against fire, termite and

moisture makes it ideal material for varying applications.

PLANK CLADDING SYSTEM:

The plank cladding is a simple and yet different

system of cladding which gives an assured quality
aesthetics of the building.

Fiber cement board is considered the best option

for its durability and flexibility.

We go for Screwing application for overlapping.

This cladding is generally supported by a

structural frame or it can also be done on the
bitumen primered or water proof coated wall
directly by using the concrete screws.
STEP 01:
•Prepare the wall to be treated and make sure the wall is clear from all undulations
and undesired material. The wall surface should be treated with a coat of water
proofing material.

STEP 02:
•The framing structure needed to support the cladding can be of G.I. or Al.
•Mark the layout on the wall by making sure that the spacing between the studs is not
more than 600mm.
•The sections to be used vary with the type of building and the particular requirements
of the building.
•A typical structure requires a channel stud of dimensions: Web – 48mm, Flange –
32mm, Thickness – 1.0mm.

•The anchor clips or brackets, which support the sections, are to be secured to the wall
with the help of anchor bolts.
STEP 03:
•Two horizontal channels are to be placed – one at the top and one at the bottom of
the vertical members. These provide support to the edges of the boards.
•The studs are then placed at every 600mm centers and are secured to the anchor clips
or brackets with the help of self driven screws.

Step 04:
•The planks are available in widths – 450mm and 600mm and in lengths of 3000mm.
•For an overlapping system of cladding, the installation should be started from the
bottom.
•The overlap between two rows of planks should be at least 25mm.
Step 05:

Plank fixing:
•Each plank should be screwed to each of the
studs.
•It should be made sure that the screw is 12mm
away from the edges and 20mm from the corners
of the plank, to avoid any damages and to allow
proper fixing.
•The screw fasteners can be fixed above or under
the lap joint, depending on the customer’s choice.

 NOTE:
• We propose any corner profile to be anti -corrosion
material , preferably aluminium with powder coated.
• Studs can be G.I because they are not exposed to the
external environment.
• We recommend additional framework securing each
joint if the planks are not overlapped.
• If not overlapped, every horizontal joint should be
sealed properly with epoxy grouting or silicon filling
so as to ensure no water leakage.

 Why choose Aerocon Fibre Cement Board or planks over
Vinyl Exterior?

• It is more energy saving.

• It is more fire resistant compared to Vinyl siding.
( The National Institute of Standards and Technology found
that, in tests involving vinyl-clad structures in close proximity,
fire was observed to spread between two vinyl-clad test
structures located six feet apart in fewer than five minutes.
Additionally, vinyl siding can release toxic fumes when
burning, particularly dioxins. This is not only an environmental
concern, but the fumes can be dangerous to fire fighters and
bystanders, and the toxic fumes released may increase the
likelihood of fatality from smoke inhalation for anyone
trapped in the burning structure )

 Why choose Aerocon Techktona Board or planks over
Masonite Siding?
• Easy workablity.
• Longer life
( Masonite are prone to deterioration due to moisture )
• No wrapping.
• Less maintenance
• Termite resistant.
• Moisture resistant.
( Masonite naturally absorbs water and swells slightly.
Moisture intake can lead to irremovable mildew, indoor leaks,
cracked exterior paint, and damaged nails )

 Why choose Aerocon Fibre Cement Board or planks
over Hardboard Siding?
Aerocon Fibre Cement Board or planks is much superior to
Hardboard siding because
• It doesn’t wrap.
• No buckling is observed.
• Less maintenance. Contact us
• Termite resistant.
• Moisture resistant.
• Fire resistant.
And hence a longer life.
 Why choose Aerocon Fibre Cement Board or planks
over Stucco Siding?
• Better Moisture resistance .
( Stucco does not work well in wet climates. If water from rain or snow seeps
inside the concrete-like shell through a joint or crack, the moisture could
damage the wood frame underneath the stucco, causing the wood to rot )
• Cost effective .
( Stucco siding requires several layers, so a large portion of your stucco budget
is going to go to those you hire to apply it )
• Less Maintenance and Longer life.
(Because stucco is damaged so easily, it requires more maintenance than
other siding materials. Holes and cracks must be patched as soon as you
notice them so that water doesn't have a chance to get beneath the
surface and cause further damage)
