CHARACTERISTICS OF SUBSTRATE

Blueboard is paper faced compressed fibre cement, and may be presented as sheeting or moulded objects being of high density. Blueboard is usually affixed externally to metal or timber framing with expressed joints. The paper facing is more acceptable for the adherence of render, skim coats and painting than normal compressed fibre cement surfaces and allows a finer finish to be achieved. Blueboard sheeting must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Clean the surface with a stiff bristle broom to remove dust. Mould and mildew if present must be treated specifically.
