Fibre cement board is not a ready-to-paint surface straight off the pallet. Correct priming is ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น for paint adhesion and long-term appearance.

๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ 

After jointing is complete, apply a suitable alkali resistant primer to all board faces and any exposed cut edges.

Allow the primer to cure fully before proceeding to topcoats and follow the primer manufacturerโ€™s drying times.

New fibre cement board has a high alkalinity that can cause adhesion failure or colour shift with some paints if not correctly primed first.

RhinoROCโ„ข and JUMBO boards can be painted or finished in accordance with the paint manufacturerโ€™s specifications.

For outdoor soffits and eaves, always use high quality, exterior-grade coatings specifically formulated for fibre cement.

Interior ceilings may be finished with standard ceiling paint over a correct primer.

Smooth board surfaces take paint evenly. Avoid thick, uneven coats which can highlight surface irregularities.

๐Ÿ“ŒUsing the wrong primer on new fibre cement is one of the most common causes of early paint failure. Always specify an alkali resistant primer and allow full cure time before top coating๐Ÿ“Œ

Fibre cement boardโ€™s moisture and weather resistance makes it an excellent choice for exposed soffits and eaves.

However, outdoor applications require some additional considerations.

Use the correct board grade: the JUMBO 6mm and 9mm boards are suited to eave and soffit applications.

For RhinoROCโ„ข, the 6mm board is rated for outdoor use; the 4mm board is for interior applications only.

Ensure all cut edges are sealed with a suitable primer before installation, cut edges are more permeable than the face.

Fixings for outdoor soffits must be corrosion-resistant (hot-dip galvanised or stainless steel) to prevent rust staining on the face.

Maintain a gap between the bottom of the board and any surface where water could pond. Even moisture-resistant boards should not sit in standing water.

For fascia installations, Pelican Systems stocks the JUMBO Fascia Board (225 x 3000mm imported) and a locally produced Fascia Board in both 3000mm and 3600mm lengths.

PVC joiners are available to connect lengths neatly.

The joint between boards is one of the most visible and vulnerable elements of a fibre cement ceiling.

Pelican Systems stocks proprietary jointing profiles that make this straightforward.

๐‡-๐’๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ

Used at internal butt joints between two boards running side-by-side.

Slide the H-Strip over the edges of adjacent boards before fixing the second board in place, or clip into position after boarding.

Ensures a clean, consistent reveal at every joint without the need for tape and filler.

๐€๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ข๐ง๐œ ๐Œ-๐’๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ

Used at perimeter edges and where the ceiling meets a wall or structural element.

Fix the M-Strip to the Brandering or wall before boarding, then slide the board edge into the profile.
This provides a clean, finished edge that accommodates minor movement without cracking.

Always use jointing profiles in accordance with the manufacturerโ€™s instructions.

Do not attempt to fill or tape fibre cement butt joints without the correct backing profile, crack-free results are difficult to achieve without it.
