Thick and strong fibre cement weatherboards that deliver deep and slick shadow lines

Eterside is the innovative solution for residential projects, both,

new and additions.

Eterside was designed to provide that welcoming look, only

possible with weatherboards.

Thick, resistant and durable, Eterside is ready to

install and is available in three different and convenient finishes:

Pigmented, Painted and Raw.

ETERSIDE Pigmented•Durability: Being through-coloured

with natural pigments, Eterside

Pigmented do not need to be painted

or colour-treated after installation, as

the colour is on its mass. Eterside Pigmented is protected from

the elements with a sophisticated hydrophobic layer

•Authenticity: Eterside is unique and gives personality and

strong character to the projects where it is used

• Fastinstallation: Eterside Pigmented speeds up the

installation, as it does not require all the time consuming labour

required by the painting process.

ETERSIDE Painted•Durability: As the coating is applied on

controlled factory conditions, the best

paint adhesion and UV ray resistance is

ensured.

• Costsaving: All the time consuming labour required by the

painting process, can be saved with the confidence provided

by a top quality factory pre-painted weatherboard.

ETERSIDE Raw• Robustness: All the benefits of a thick

fibre cement weatherboard, 15mm, are

ready to provide security and peace of

mind to the project owner.

•Greatsubstrateforon-sitepainting: Its finely sanded and flat

surface, is coated with a primer to enhance the best adhesion

and a great appearance of glossy paints.

•Versatility: Eterside Raw is the ideal weatherboard as it

provides unlimited paint colour options.

MaintenanceCleaningCleaning must always take place in accordance with the recommendations of the supplier of the cleaning

system and under their supervision and guarantee.

In principle, perform the cleaning of weatherboards over the entire surface as partial cleaning can result

in colour tonal differences. Normal stains can be removed with a sponge and water. The use of abrasive

materials such as a scourer, steel wool, etc. are not allowed, as they leave irreparable scratches on the

surface.

PressurewashingFor ETERSIDE Pigmented Weatherboards, a pressure cleaner with clean water at a maximum 125 bar and

maximum flow rate of 10 litres/minute can also be used. One must spray perpendicular to the surface at a

distance of at least 255mm. If spraying occurs at excessive pressure or a too short distance this can cause

damage to the panel surface.
