Coverage calculation:
1 board = 1.2m × 2.4m = 2.88m²
1. Measure the Area
Measure the ceiling, soffit, wall or partition area where the board will be installed.
Formula:
Total area ÷ 2.88m² = number of boards required
Add 5–10% extra for cutting, wastage, corners, edges and openings.
2. Prepare the Surface or Framework
For ceilings, soffits and partitions, prepare a strong timber or metal framework.
For walling or cladding, ensure the surface is dry, clean, level and firm before fixing.
3. Mark and Cut the Board
Mark the required measurements clearly. Cut the board using suitable cutting tools and handle carefully to avoid edge damage.
4. Fix the Board
Fix the board using suitable screws or the recommended fixing method depending on the surface. Make sure the board is well supported, straight and properly aligned.
5. Finish the Joints
Use suitable joint filler, jointing tape, trims or moulding strips depending on the finish required. Neat joints help achieve a professional final look.
6. Sand Rough Edges
Lightly sand cut edges and joint areas before painting or coating.
7. Apply Primer
Apply a suitable primer before painting. Primer helps improve paint adhesion and gives a smoother finish.
8. Paint or Coat
Apply your preferred paint or protective coating. For soffits and covered exterior areas, use a suitable exterior-grade paint or coating.
9. Final Inspection
Check that all boards are firmly fixed, joints are neat, edges are clean and the surface is ready for use.
Do not install on weak, wet or unstable framing.
Use proper screw spacing to avoid board movement or sagging.
For ceiling and soffit installations, ensure the support frame is straight and strong.
Apply primer before painting for a cleaner and more durable finish.
For covered exterior areas, use suitable exterior paint or protective coating.
Avoid continuous direct water exposure unless properly sealed and protected.
Use an experienced ceiling, soffit or walling fundi for best results.
Wipe dust using a soft dry cloth.
Repaint when necessary to maintain a fresh finish.
Inspect joints, screws and edges periodically.
Repair damaged sections early to maintain a neat appearance.
Avoid prolonged exposure to continuous water or moisture.
