Hi there, this is EnviroBuild and in this short video I'm going to be showing you
how to install Hyperion's brand-new Sentinel cladding.
Today I'm using granite shade which is their darker shade of grey,
and has a fire rating of Euro Class B.
This is installed onto Manticore plastic lumber battens.
All materials can be found at EnviroBuild.com and linked in the bio below.
As you can see we have already installed the substructure using stainless steel screws and rawl plugs.
Before you start, make sure you have a
breathable waterproof membrane or waterproof coating on the exterior wall
as Hyperion is a decorative rain-screen cladding.
When installing Sentinel cladding make sure your batten centres are no more than 600mm apart.
With our based prep we're going to start installing a cladding.
First we're going to fix the bottom row of Sentinel fasteners, this is where first board will sit in
You want to make sure the cladding is a minimum of 2cm above the ground.
Having measured where you want the first clip to be, use a
chalk line to make sure the first line of clips is totally level.
Now that we have the first row of fasteners in place we can clip in our first cladding board,
which should sit firmly into the clips.
You can use the spirit level to make sure the boards are level throughout the installation.
Once you've checked, screw in the next row of fasteners
Where you have a butt joint make sure both ends of the boards are fixed individually with clips.
Normally we would require double battening,
but in this case our battens large enough to support both ends of the board.
You also want to make sure that you leave a suitable gap between the board ends to allow for expansion.
Now that the first board is in place we can clip in the second board and continue up the wall.
So we've reached the last row, but we've not got quite enough space to install a full board.
Measure the remaining space and rip the boards down the length to fit.
If you've had to rip your final board to size we recommend screwing through the top cladding board into the batten below.
Make sure you pre-drill and oversize your screw hole.
Now we have completed the main body of the cladding it's time to finish off the edges of your installation.
Simply place the Seninel corner trim over the edge and screw through the cladding into the substructure.
Make sure you pre-drill in oversize your holes.
We hope you enjoyed this video, if you'd like any more information on the Hyperion cladding or decking ranges
please feel free to contact us on the details below.
Thank you.
