Thickness 285 mm (tolerance of plusmn 115 mm)

Squaring has to be done on site

Boards have to be calibrated according to layout

START Vertical installation Start with a metal or Aluminium profile It is highly recommended to install all the

boards in the same orientation in order to obtain a uniform colour Indeed the random brushing

creates an effect on the surface that capture the lights differently according the boards orientation

Pose horizontale Boards have to be installed with the groove at the bottom and the tongue at the top

IMPORTANT NOTICES

All instructions concerning the installation of our cladding are to be followed

Assembly errors are not covered by the NEOLIFEreg guarantee

REMARQUES IMPORTANTES SUR LA POSE

ALWAYS KEEP A 6 MM EXPANSION JOINT

A minimum space of 6mm between the 325m boards

and contiguous elements (joinery wall other cladding

boards) should be left to enable the natural expansion

of the NEOLIFEreg cladding boards

Always maintain 15 mm expansion per linear meter

(or 2mm in case of high temperature variations)

IMPORTANT NOTICES

NOT FOR STRUCTURAL USE Under no circumstances should the cladding boards be used for load-bearing or structural purposes

The professional rules and recommendations governing the cladding installation must be followed

NO SEALING PROPERTIES The boards are not designed to ensure the watertightness of the external facade

They should be used with a rainscreen wherever itrsquos required which will provide the weatherproofing

element in compliance with the local Building Regulations

FIXING ADDITIONAL ITEMS TO THE FACADE The cladding is not load-bearing

Anything fixed to the facade must be attached to the supporting structure behind the cladding

6mm

CAUTIONThe specifications and recommendations given in the NEOLIFEreg installation guide available at

wwwneolife-solutionscom website are not a substitute to regulations concerning safety

environment and regulatory installation specifications

REMARQUES IMPORTANTES SUR LA POSEIMPORTANT NOTICES

PREPARATION OF THE STRUCTURE

CAUTION

Make sure to respect the cladding installation steps recommended by the local professional guidelines

IMPORTANT ADVICES

The supporting structure (wood or metal) has to be perfectly flat to get a perfect facade The installation has to be planned on a ventilated wood structure with a minimum batten size of

27x40mm or on omega metal profiles 30x30x30 with a 400 ou 600 mm centre to centre distance

following the buildingrsquos category and height

The supporting structure can be fitted on every kind of walls (wood metal concrete) with or without

external insulation

Always keep a minimum 2cm air gap for ventilation behind the cladding (check the

recommendations of the local regulations )

The supporting structure has to be placed perpendicular to the cladding For vertical installation

the ventilation will be enabled through the claddingrsquos ribs or thanks to a crossed structure (following

the local recommendations)

KEY INSTALLATION PRINCIPLES

DESIGN GUIDELINES

When the sign is installed onto the claddingwith no water runoff possibility It will cause stains on the claddingwhen drying (due to the mix of dust andpollution)

Flat metall elements without watertightnessmanagement Dirty water runoff causes stains

Advice

Leave space between cladding and the signand fix it on the load-bearing wall

MAINTENANCE

21

Depending on the boards dirt after implementation (presence of mud dust etchellip) especially in the

grooves rain stains can appear on the surface

NEOLIFE strongly recommend to clean the boards after implementation with a pressure

washer following the boardsrsquo orientation (distance of min 20cm from the board DO NOT

USE a rotary nozzle)

Recommendations

Do not forget to clean the window shelves as well avoiding so any risk of dust stains on the

cladding after the first rain (windows are frequently dusty during construction)

All metal joineries (windows parapet capping etchellip) have to have a drip-edge flashing in

order to limit the water runoff on the cladding Shop signs or any other elements installed on

the cladding have to be moved forward (space left between cladding and the element) to

avoid any stains

Caution

If any operation involving the use of asphalt or concrete occurs after facade completion

NEOLIFE recommend to protect the cladding with a plastic cover in order to avoid stains

Indeed if not protected a greasy steam can spread on the surface and in the grooves In that

case a grease-removing product will be needed to clean the boards and all the surrounding

elements

BUILDING SITE CLEANING

LONG LASTING

VERY LIMITED MAINTENANCE

The material does not require any wood preservative (oils varnishes saturators hellip)

bull The VESTAreg material is naturally equivalent to use class 4(service environment In contact with ground or fresh water amp Permanently exposed to wetting The use classes rank the risk of exposure to decay and insect attack for differing in service environments according to EN 335 ndash 2)

bull Highly hydrophobic and rot-proof no algae fungi or moss development

bull Insect-resistant does not require any treatments against termites

STAIN REMOVAL

STAINS

Tanin stains

During the first weeks after installation tannin rings may occur because of the rain especially

on claddings with a light colour They will be washed off and fade during the next rain to

lessen until they completely disappear Be careful not to mistake these stains with dust or

pollution stains which appear on all cladding types

Bleach-based cleaning products

Slight discolouration Clean with water and complete if needed with slight brushing in the

boards orientation

Graffities oil paint and ink

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo STG 105 BIO raquo de STG)

Bitumen grease

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo Scalp Aqua 03 raquo)

Oxidation stains after contact with a corroded metal

Use a specialised wood de-greyer (ex laquo Scalp Neutral DA 66 raquo)

Caution

- Analyse properly the substance to clean so to use the right stain removing product

- Always test the stain removing product on a small and discrete surface before cleaning the

entire board

- It is mandatory that you analyse on a long time scale (and after exposure to Uvs) that the

solution you choose will not react with the cladding and therefore produce unsightly effects

ALWAYS KEEP A 6 MM EXPANSION JOINT

A minimum space of 6mm between the 325m boards

and contiguous elements (joinery wall other cladding

boards) should be left to enable the natural expansion

of the NEOLIFEreg cladding boards

Always maintain 15 mm expansion per linear meter

(or 2mm in case of high temperature variations)

IMPORTANT NOTICES

NOT FOR STRUCTURAL USE Under no circumstances should the cladding boards be used for load-bearing or structural purposes

The professional rules and recommendations governing the cladding installation must be followed

NO SEALING PROPERTIES The boards are not designed to ensure the watertightness of the external facade

They should be used with a rainscreen wherever itrsquos required which will provide the weatherproofing

element in compliance with the local Building Regulations

FIXING ADDITIONAL ITEMS TO THE FACADE The cladding is not load-bearing

Anything fixed to the facade must be attached to the supporting structure behind the cladding

PREPARATION OF THE STRUCTURE

CAUTION

Make sure to respect the cladding installation steps recommended by the local professional guidelines

IMPORTANT ADVICES

The supporting structure (wood or metal) has to be perfectly flat to get a perfect facade The installation has to be planned on a ventilated wood structure with a minimum batten size of

27x40mm or on omega metal profiles 30x30x30 with a 400 ou 600 mm centre to centre distance

following the buildingrsquos category and height

The supporting structure can be fitted on every kind of walls (wood metal concrete) with or without

external insulation

Always keep a minimum 2cm air gap for ventilation behind the cladding (check the

recommendations of the local regulations )

The supporting structure has to be placed perpendicular to the cladding For vertical installation

the ventilation will be enabled through the claddingrsquos ribs or thanks to a crossed structure (following

the local recommendations)

MAINTENANCE

21

Depending on the boards dirt after implementation (presence of mud dust etchellip) especially in the

grooves rain stains can appear on the surface

NEOLIFE strongly recommend to clean the boards after implementation with a pressure

washer following the boardsrsquo orientation (distance of min 20cm from the board DO NOT

USE a rotary nozzle)

Recommendations

Do not forget to clean the window shelves as well avoiding so any risk of dust stains on the

cladding after the first rain (windows are frequently dusty during construction)

All metal joineries (windows parapet capping etchellip) have to have a drip-edge flashing in

order to limit the water runoff on the cladding Shop signs or any other elements installed on

the cladding have to be moved forward (space left between cladding and the element) to

avoid any stains

Caution

If any operation involving the use of asphalt or concrete occurs after facade completion

NEOLIFE recommend to protect the cladding with a plastic cover in order to avoid stains

Indeed if not protected a greasy steam can spread on the surface and in the grooves In that

case a grease-removing product will be needed to clean the boards and all the surrounding

elements

BUILDING SITE CLEANING

LONG LASTING

VERY LIMITED MAINTENANCE

The material does not require any wood preservative (oils varnishes saturators hellip)

bull The VESTAreg material is naturally equivalent to use class 4(service environment In contact with ground or fresh water amp Permanently exposed to wetting The use classes rank the risk of exposure to decay and insect attack for differing in service environments according to EN 335 ndash 2)

bull Highly hydrophobic and rot-proof no algae fungi or moss development

bull Insect-resistant does not require any treatments against termites

STAIN REMOVAL

STAINS

Tanin stains

During the first weeks after installation tannin rings may occur because of the rain especially

on claddings with a light colour They will be washed off and fade during the next rain to

lessen until they completely disappear Be careful not to mistake these stains with dust or

pollution stains which appear on all cladding types

Bleach-based cleaning products

Slight discolouration Clean with water and complete if needed with slight brushing in the

boards orientation

Graffities oil paint and ink

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo STG 105 BIO raquo de STG)

Bitumen grease

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo Scalp Aqua 03 raquo)

Oxidation stains after contact with a corroded metal

Use a specialised wood de-greyer (ex laquo Scalp Neutral DA 66 raquo)

Caution

- Analyse properly the substance to clean so to use the right stain removing product

- Always test the stain removing product on a small and discrete surface before cleaning the

entire board

- It is mandatory that you analyse on a long time scale (and after exposure to Uvs) that the

solution you choose will not react with the cladding and therefore produce unsightly effects

ALWAYS KEEP A 6 MM EXPANSION JOINT

A minimum space of 6mm between the 325m boards

and contiguous elements (joinery wall other cladding

boards) should be left to enable the natural expansion

of the NEOLIFEreg cladding boards

Always maintain 15 mm expansion per linear meter

(or 2mm in case of high temperature variations)

IMPORTANT NOTICES

NOT FOR STRUCTURAL USE Under no circumstances should the cladding boards be used for load-bearing or structural purposes

The professional rules and recommendations governing the cladding installation must be followed

NO SEALING PROPERTIES The boards are not designed to ensure the watertightness of the external facade

They should be used with a rainscreen wherever itrsquos required which will provide the weatherproofing

element in compliance with the local Building Regulations

FIXING ADDITIONAL ITEMS TO THE FACADE The cladding is not load-bearing

Anything fixed to the facade must be attached to the supporting structure behind the cladding

PREPARATION OF THE STRUCTURE

CAUTION

Make sure to respect the cladding installation steps recommended by the local professional guidelines

IMPORTANT ADVICES

The supporting structure (wood or metal) has to be perfectly flat to get a perfect facade The installation has to be planned on a ventilated wood structure with a minimum batten size of

27x40mm or on omega metal profiles 30x30x30 with a 400 ou 600 mm centre to centre distance

following the buildingrsquos category and height

The supporting structure can be fitted on every kind of walls (wood metal concrete) with or without

external insulation

Always keep a minimum 2cm air gap for ventilation behind the cladding (check the

recommendations of the local regulations )

The supporting structure has to be placed perpendicular to the cladding For vertical installation

the ventilation will be enabled through the claddingrsquos ribs or thanks to a crossed structure (following

the local recommendations)

MAINTENANCE

21

Depending on the boards dirt after implementation (presence of mud dust etchellip) especially in the

grooves rain stains can appear on the surface

NEOLIFE strongly recommend to clean the boards after implementation with a pressure

washer following the boardsrsquo orientation (distance of min 20cm from the board DO NOT

USE a rotary nozzle)

Recommendations

Do not forget to clean the window shelves as well avoiding so any risk of dust stains on the

cladding after the first rain (windows are frequently dusty during construction)

All metal joineries (windows parapet capping etchellip) have to have a drip-edge flashing in

order to limit the water runoff on the cladding Shop signs or any other elements installed on

the cladding have to be moved forward (space left between cladding and the element) to

avoid any stains

Caution

If any operation involving the use of asphalt or concrete occurs after facade completion

NEOLIFE recommend to protect the cladding with a plastic cover in order to avoid stains

Indeed if not protected a greasy steam can spread on the surface and in the grooves In that

case a grease-removing product will be needed to clean the boards and all the surrounding

elements

BUILDING SITE CLEANING

LONG LASTING

VERY LIMITED MAINTENANCE

The material does not require any wood preservative (oils varnishes saturators hellip)

bull The VESTAreg material is naturally equivalent to use class 4(service environment In contact with ground or fresh water amp Permanently exposed to wetting The use classes rank the risk of exposure to decay and insect attack for differing in service environments according to EN 335 ndash 2)

bull Highly hydrophobic and rot-proof no algae fungi or moss development

bull Insect-resistant does not require any treatments against termites

STAIN REMOVAL

STAINS

Tanin stains

During the first weeks after installation tannin rings may occur because of the rain especially

on claddings with a light colour They will be washed off and fade during the next rain to

lessen until they completely disappear Be careful not to mistake these stains with dust or

pollution stains which appear on all cladding types

Bleach-based cleaning products

Slight discolouration Clean with water and complete if needed with slight brushing in the

boards orientation

Graffities oil paint and ink

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo STG 105 BIO raquo de STG)

Bitumen grease

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo Scalp Aqua 03 raquo)

Oxidation stains after contact with a corroded metal

Use a specialised wood de-greyer (ex laquo Scalp Neutral DA 66 raquo)

Caution

- Analyse properly the substance to clean so to use the right stain removing product

- Always test the stain removing product on a small and discrete surface before cleaning the

entire board

- It is mandatory that you analyse on a long time scale (and after exposure to Uvs) that the

solution you choose will not react with the cladding and therefore produce unsightly effects

MAINTENANCE

21

Depending on the boards dirt after implementation (presence of mud dust etchellip) especially in the

grooves rain stains can appear on the surface

NEOLIFE strongly recommend to clean the boards after implementation with a pressure

washer following the boardsrsquo orientation (distance of min 20cm from the board DO NOT

USE a rotary nozzle)

Recommendations

Do not forget to clean the window shelves as well avoiding so any risk of dust stains on the

cladding after the first rain (windows are frequently dusty during construction)

All metal joineries (windows parapet capping etchellip) have to have a drip-edge flashing in

order to limit the water runoff on the cladding Shop signs or any other elements installed on

the cladding have to be moved forward (space left between cladding and the element) to

avoid any stains

Caution

If any operation involving the use of asphalt or concrete occurs after facade completion

NEOLIFE recommend to protect the cladding with a plastic cover in order to avoid stains

Indeed if not protected a greasy steam can spread on the surface and in the grooves In that

case a grease-removing product will be needed to clean the boards and all the surrounding

elements

BUILDING SITE CLEANING

LONG LASTING

VERY LIMITED MAINTENANCE

The material does not require any wood preservative (oils varnishes saturators hellip)

bull The VESTAreg material is naturally equivalent to use class 4(service environment In contact with ground or fresh water amp Permanently exposed to wetting The use classes rank the risk of exposure to decay and insect attack for differing in service environments according to EN 335 ndash 2)

bull Highly hydrophobic and rot-proof no algae fungi or moss development

bull Insect-resistant does not require any treatments against termites

STAIN REMOVAL

STAINS

Tanin stains

During the first weeks after installation tannin rings may occur because of the rain especially

on claddings with a light colour They will be washed off and fade during the next rain to

lessen until they completely disappear Be careful not to mistake these stains with dust or

pollution stains which appear on all cladding types

Bleach-based cleaning products

Slight discolouration Clean with water and complete if needed with slight brushing in the

boards orientation

Graffities oil paint and ink

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo STG 105 BIO raquo de STG)

Bitumen grease

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo Scalp Aqua 03 raquo)

Oxidation stains after contact with a corroded metal

Use a specialised wood de-greyer (ex laquo Scalp Neutral DA 66 raquo)

Caution

- Analyse properly the substance to clean so to use the right stain removing product

- Always test the stain removing product on a small and discrete surface before cleaning the

entire board

- It is mandatory that you analyse on a long time scale (and after exposure to Uvs) that the

solution you choose will not react with the cladding and therefore produce unsightly effects

MAINTENANCE

21

Depending on the boards dirt after implementation (presence of mud dust etchellip) especially in the

grooves rain stains can appear on the surface

NEOLIFE strongly recommend to clean the boards after implementation with a pressure

washer following the boardsrsquo orientation (distance of min 20cm from the board DO NOT

USE a rotary nozzle)

Recommendations

Do not forget to clean the window shelves as well avoiding so any risk of dust stains on the

cladding after the first rain (windows are frequently dusty during construction)

All metal joineries (windows parapet capping etchellip) have to have a drip-edge flashing in

order to limit the water runoff on the cladding Shop signs or any other elements installed on

the cladding have to be moved forward (space left between cladding and the element) to

avoid any stains

Caution

If any operation involving the use of asphalt or concrete occurs after facade completion

NEOLIFE recommend to protect the cladding with a plastic cover in order to avoid stains

Indeed if not protected a greasy steam can spread on the surface and in the grooves In that

case a grease-removing product will be needed to clean the boards and all the surrounding

elements

bull The VESTAreg material is naturally equivalent to use class 4(service environment In contact with ground or fresh water amp Permanently exposed to wetting The use classes rank the risk of exposure to decay and insect attack for differing in service environments according to EN 335 ndash 2)

bull Highly hydrophobic and rot-proof no algae fungi or moss development

bull Insect-resistant does not require any treatments against termites

STAIN REMOVAL

STAINS

Tanin stains

During the first weeks after installation tannin rings may occur because of the rain especially

on claddings with a light colour They will be washed off and fade during the next rain to

lessen until they completely disappear Be careful not to mistake these stains with dust or

pollution stains which appear on all cladding types

Bleach-based cleaning products

Slight discolouration Clean with water and complete if needed with slight brushing in the

boards orientation

Graffities oil paint and ink

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo STG 105 BIO raquo de STG)

Bitumen grease

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo Scalp Aqua 03 raquo)

Oxidation stains after contact with a corroded metal

Use a specialised wood de-greyer (ex laquo Scalp Neutral DA 66 raquo)

Caution

- Analyse properly the substance to clean so to use the right stain removing product

- Always test the stain removing product on a small and discrete surface before cleaning the

entire board

- It is mandatory that you analyse on a long time scale (and after exposure to Uvs) that the

solution you choose will not react with the cladding and therefore produce unsightly effects

ALWAYS KEEP A 6 MM EXPANSION JOINT

A minimum space of 6mm between the 325m boards

and contiguous elements (joinery wall other cladding

boards) should be left to enable the natural expansion

of the NEOLIFEreg cladding boards

Always maintain 15 mm expansion per linear meter

(or 2mm in case of high temperature variations)

IMPORTANT NOTICES

NOT FOR STRUCTURAL USE Under no circumstances should the cladding boards be used for load-bearing or structural purposes

The professional rules and recommendations governing the cladding installation must be followed

NO SEALING PROPERTIES The boards are not designed to ensure the watertightness of the external facade

They should be used with a rainscreen wherever itrsquos required which will provide the weatherproofing

element in compliance with the local Building Regulations

FIXING ADDITIONAL ITEMS TO THE FACADE The cladding is not load-bearing

Anything fixed to the facade must be attached to the supporting structure behind the cladding

IMPORTANT ADVICES

The supporting structure (wood or metal) has to be perfectly flat to get a perfect facade The installation has to be planned on a ventilated wood structure with a minimum batten size of

27x40mm or on omega metal profiles 30x30x30 with a 400 ou 600 mm centre to centre distance

following the buildingrsquos category and height

The supporting structure can be fitted on every kind of walls (wood metal concrete) with or without

external insulation

Always keep a minimum 2cm air gap for ventilation behind the cladding (check the

recommendations of the local regulations )

The supporting structure has to be placed perpendicular to the cladding For vertical installation

the ventilation will be enabled through the claddingrsquos ribs or thanks to a crossed structure (following

the local recommendations)

ALWAYS KEEP A 6 MM EXPANSION JOINT

A minimum space of 6mm between the 325m boards

and contiguous elements (joinery wall other cladding

boards) should be left to enable the natural expansion

of the NEOLIFEreg cladding boards

Always maintain 15 mm expansion per linear meter

(or 2mm in case of high temperature variations)

IMPORTANT NOTICES

NOT FOR STRUCTURAL USE Under no circumstances should the cladding boards be used for load-bearing or structural purposes

The professional rules and recommendations governing the cladding installation must be followed

NO SEALING PROPERTIES The boards are not designed to ensure the watertightness of the external facade

They should be used with a rainscreen wherever itrsquos required which will provide the weatherproofing

element in compliance with the local Building Regulations

FIXING ADDITIONAL ITEMS TO THE FACADE The cladding is not load-bearing

Anything fixed to the facade must be attached to the supporting structure behind the cladding

PREPARATION OF THE STRUCTURE

CAUTION

Make sure to respect the cladding installation steps recommended by the local professional guidelines

IMPORTANT ADVICES

The supporting structure (wood or metal) has to be perfectly flat to get a perfect facade The installation has to be planned on a ventilated wood structure with a minimum batten size of

27x40mm or on omega metal profiles 30x30x30 with a 400 ou 600 mm centre to centre distance

following the buildingrsquos category and height

The supporting structure can be fitted on every kind of walls (wood metal concrete) with or without

external insulation

Always keep a minimum 2cm air gap for ventilation behind the cladding (check the

recommendations of the local regulations )

The supporting structure has to be placed perpendicular to the cladding For vertical installation

the ventilation will be enabled through the claddingrsquos ribs or thanks to a crossed structure (following

the local recommendations)

MAINTENANCE

21

Depending on the boards dirt after implementation (presence of mud dust etchellip) especially in the

grooves rain stains can appear on the surface

NEOLIFE strongly recommend to clean the boards after implementation with a pressure

washer following the boardsrsquo orientation (distance of min 20cm from the board DO NOT

USE a rotary nozzle)

Recommendations

Do not forget to clean the window shelves as well avoiding so any risk of dust stains on the

cladding after the first rain (windows are frequently dusty during construction)

All metal joineries (windows parapet capping etchellip) have to have a drip-edge flashing in

order to limit the water runoff on the cladding Shop signs or any other elements installed on

the cladding have to be moved forward (space left between cladding and the element) to

avoid any stains

Caution

If any operation involving the use of asphalt or concrete occurs after facade completion

NEOLIFE recommend to protect the cladding with a plastic cover in order to avoid stains

Indeed if not protected a greasy steam can spread on the surface and in the grooves In that

case a grease-removing product will be needed to clean the boards and all the surrounding

elements

BUILDING SITE CLEANING

LONG LASTING

VERY LIMITED MAINTENANCE

The material does not require any wood preservative (oils varnishes saturators hellip)

bull The VESTAreg material is naturally equivalent to use class 4(service environment In contact with ground or fresh water amp Permanently exposed to wetting The use classes rank the risk of exposure to decay and insect attack for differing in service environments according to EN 335 ndash 2)

bull Highly hydrophobic and rot-proof no algae fungi or moss development

bull Insect-resistant does not require any treatments against termites

STAIN REMOVAL

STAINS

Tanin stains

During the first weeks after installation tannin rings may occur because of the rain especially

on claddings with a light colour They will be washed off and fade during the next rain to

lessen until they completely disappear Be careful not to mistake these stains with dust or

pollution stains which appear on all cladding types

Bleach-based cleaning products

Slight discolouration Clean with water and complete if needed with slight brushing in the

boards orientation

Graffities oil paint and ink

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo STG 105 BIO raquo de STG)

Bitumen grease

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo Scalp Aqua 03 raquo)

Oxidation stains after contact with a corroded metal

Use a specialised wood de-greyer (ex laquo Scalp Neutral DA 66 raquo)

Caution

- Analyse properly the substance to clean so to use the right stain removing product

- Always test the stain removing product on a small and discrete surface before cleaning the

entire board

- It is mandatory that you analyse on a long time scale (and after exposure to Uvs) that the

solution you choose will not react with the cladding and therefore produce unsightly effects

MAINTENANCE

21

Depending on the boards dirt after implementation (presence of mud dust etchellip) especially in the

grooves rain stains can appear on the surface

NEOLIFE strongly recommend to clean the boards after implementation with a pressure

washer following the boardsrsquo orientation (distance of min 20cm from the board DO NOT

USE a rotary nozzle)

Recommendations

Do not forget to clean the window shelves as well avoiding so any risk of dust stains on the

cladding after the first rain (windows are frequently dusty during construction)

All metal joineries (windows parapet capping etchellip) have to have a drip-edge flashing in

order to limit the water runoff on the cladding Shop signs or any other elements installed on

the cladding have to be moved forward (space left between cladding and the element) to

avoid any stains

Caution

If any operation involving the use of asphalt or concrete occurs after facade completion

NEOLIFE recommend to protect the cladding with a plastic cover in order to avoid stains

Indeed if not protected a greasy steam can spread on the surface and in the grooves In that

case a grease-removing product will be needed to clean the boards and all the surrounding

elements

BUILDING SITE CLEANING

LONG LASTING

VERY LIMITED MAINTENANCE

The material does not require any wood preservative (oils varnishes saturators hellip)

bull The VESTAreg material is naturally equivalent to use class 4(service environment In contact with ground or fresh water amp Permanently exposed to wetting The use classes rank the risk of exposure to decay and insect attack for differing in service environments according to EN 335 ndash 2)

bull Highly hydrophobic and rot-proof no algae fungi or moss development

bull Insect-resistant does not require any treatments against termites

STAIN REMOVAL

STAINS

Tanin stains

During the first weeks after installation tannin rings may occur because of the rain especially

on claddings with a light colour They will be washed off and fade during the next rain to

lessen until they completely disappear Be careful not to mistake these stains with dust or

pollution stains which appear on all cladding types

Bleach-based cleaning products

Slight discolouration Clean with water and complete if needed with slight brushing in the

boards orientation

Graffities oil paint and ink

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo STG 105 BIO raquo de STG)

Bitumen grease

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo Scalp Aqua 03 raquo)

Oxidation stains after contact with a corroded metal

Use a specialised wood de-greyer (ex laquo Scalp Neutral DA 66 raquo)

Caution

- Analyse properly the substance to clean so to use the right stain removing product

- Always test the stain removing product on a small and discrete surface before cleaning the

entire board

- It is mandatory that you analyse on a long time scale (and after exposure to Uvs) that the

solution you choose will not react with the cladding and therefore produce unsightly effects

MAINTENANCE

21

Depending on the boards dirt after implementation (presence of mud dust etchellip) especially in the

grooves rain stains can appear on the surface

NEOLIFE strongly recommend to clean the boards after implementation with a pressure

washer following the boardsrsquo orientation (distance of min 20cm from the board DO NOT

USE a rotary nozzle)

Recommendations

Do not forget to clean the window shelves as well avoiding so any risk of dust stains on the

cladding after the first rain (windows are frequently dusty during construction)

All metal joineries (windows parapet capping etchellip) have to have a drip-edge flashing in

order to limit the water runoff on the cladding Shop signs or any other elements installed on

the cladding have to be moved forward (space left between cladding and the element) to

avoid any stains

Caution

If any operation involving the use of asphalt or concrete occurs after facade completion

NEOLIFE recommend to protect the cladding with a plastic cover in order to avoid stains

Indeed if not protected a greasy steam can spread on the surface and in the grooves In that

case a grease-removing product will be needed to clean the boards and all the surrounding

elements

bull Insect-resistant does not require any treatments against termites

STAIN REMOVAL

STAINS

Tanin stains

During the first weeks after installation tannin rings may occur because of the rain especially

on claddings with a light colour They will be washed off and fade during the next rain to

lessen until they completely disappear Be careful not to mistake these stains with dust or

pollution stains which appear on all cladding types

Bleach-based cleaning products

Slight discolouration Clean with water and complete if needed with slight brushing in the

boards orientation

Graffities oil paint and ink

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo STG 105 BIO raquo de STG)

Bitumen grease

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo Scalp Aqua 03 raquo)

Oxidation stains after contact with a corroded metal

Use a specialised wood de-greyer (ex laquo Scalp Neutral DA 66 raquo)

Caution

- Analyse properly the substance to clean so to use the right stain removing product

- Always test the stain removing product on a small and discrete surface before cleaning the

entire board

- It is mandatory that you analyse on a long time scale (and after exposure to Uvs) that the

solution you choose will not react with the cladding and therefore produce unsightly effects

MAINTENANCE

21

Depending on the boards dirt after implementation (presence of mud dust etchellip) especially in the

grooves rain stains can appear on the surface

NEOLIFE strongly recommend to clean the boards after implementation with a pressure

washer following the boardsrsquo orientation (distance of min 20cm from the board DO NOT

USE a rotary nozzle)

Recommendations

Do not forget to clean the window shelves as well avoiding so any risk of dust stains on the

cladding after the first rain (windows are frequently dusty during construction)

All metal joineries (windows parapet capping etchellip) have to have a drip-edge flashing in

order to limit the water runoff on the cladding Shop signs or any other elements installed on

the cladding have to be moved forward (space left between cladding and the element) to

avoid any stains

Caution

If any operation involving the use of asphalt or concrete occurs after facade completion

NEOLIFE recommend to protect the cladding with a plastic cover in order to avoid stains

Indeed if not protected a greasy steam can spread on the surface and in the grooves In that

case a grease-removing product will be needed to clean the boards and all the surrounding

elements

BUILDING SITE CLEANING

LONG LASTING

VERY LIMITED MAINTENANCE

The material does not require any wood preservative (oils varnishes saturators hellip)

bull The VESTAreg material is naturally equivalent to use class 4(service environment In contact with ground or fresh water amp Permanently exposed to wetting The use classes rank the risk of exposure to decay and insect attack for differing in service environments according to EN 335 ndash 2)

bull Highly hydrophobic and rot-proof no algae fungi or moss development

bull Insect-resistant does not require any treatments against termites

STAIN REMOVAL

STAINS

Tanin stains

During the first weeks after installation tannin rings may occur because of the rain especially

on claddings with a light colour They will be washed off and fade during the next rain to

lessen until they completely disappear Be careful not to mistake these stains with dust or

pollution stains which appear on all cladding types

Bleach-based cleaning products

Slight discolouration Clean with water and complete if needed with slight brushing in the

boards orientation

Graffities oil paint and ink

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo STG 105 BIO raquo de STG)

Bitumen grease

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo Scalp Aqua 03 raquo)

Oxidation stains after contact with a corroded metal

Use a specialised wood de-greyer (ex laquo Scalp Neutral DA 66 raquo)

Caution

- Analyse properly the substance to clean so to use the right stain removing product

- Always test the stain removing product on a small and discrete surface before cleaning the

entire board

- It is mandatory that you analyse on a long time scale (and after exposure to Uvs) that the

solution you choose will not react with the cladding and therefore produce unsightly effects

STAIN REMOVAL

STAINS

Tanin stains

During the first weeks after installation tannin rings may occur because of the rain especially

on claddings with a light colour They will be washed off and fade during the next rain to

lessen until they completely disappear Be careful not to mistake these stains with dust or

pollution stains which appear on all cladding types

Bleach-based cleaning products

Slight discolouration Clean with water and complete if needed with slight brushing in the

boards orientation

Graffities oil paint and ink

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo STG 105 BIO raquo de STG)

Bitumen grease

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo Scalp Aqua 03 raquo)

Oxidation stains after contact with a corroded metal

Use a specialised wood de-greyer (ex laquo Scalp Neutral DA 66 raquo)

Caution

- Analyse properly the substance to clean so to use the right stain removing product

- Always test the stain removing product on a small and discrete surface before cleaning the

entire board

- It is mandatory that you analyse on a long time scale (and after exposure to Uvs) that the

solution you choose will not react with the cladding and therefore produce unsightly effects

ALWAYS KEEP A 6 MM EXPANSION JOINT

A minimum space of 6mm between the 325m boards

and contiguous elements (joinery wall other cladding

boards) should be left to enable the natural expansion

of the NEOLIFEreg cladding boards

Always maintain 15 mm expansion per linear meter

(or 2mm in case of high temperature variations)

IMPORTANT NOTICES

NOT FOR STRUCTURAL USE Under no circumstances should the cladding boards be used for load-bearing or structural purposes

The professional rules and recommendations governing the cladding installation must be followed

NO SEALING PROPERTIES The boards are not designed to ensure the watertightness of the external facade

They should be used with a rainscreen wherever itrsquos required which will provide the weatherproofing

element in compliance with the local Building Regulations

MAINTENANCE

21

Depending on the boards dirt after implementation (presence of mud dust etchellip) especially in the

grooves rain stains can appear on the surface

NEOLIFE strongly recommend to clean the boards after implementation with a pressure

washer following the boardsrsquo orientation (distance of min 20cm from the board DO NOT

USE a rotary nozzle)

Recommendations

Do not forget to clean the window shelves as well avoiding so any risk of dust stains on the

cladding after the first rain (windows are frequently dusty during construction)

All metal joineries (windows parapet capping etchellip) have to have a drip-edge flashing in

order to limit the water runoff on the cladding Shop signs or any other elements installed on

the cladding have to be moved forward (space left between cladding and the element) to

avoid any stains

Caution

If any operation involving the use of asphalt or concrete occurs after facade completion

NEOLIFE recommend to protect the cladding with a plastic cover in order to avoid stains

Indeed if not protected a greasy steam can spread on the surface and in the grooves In that

case a grease-removing product will be needed to clean the boards and all the surrounding

elements

PREPARATION OF THE STRUCTURE

CAUTION

Make sure to respect the cladding installation steps recommended by the local professional guidelines

IMPORTANT ADVICES

The supporting structure (wood or metal) has to be perfectly flat to get a perfect facade The installation has to be planned on a ventilated wood structure with a minimum batten size of

27x40mm or on omega metal profiles 30x30x30 with a 400 ou 600 mm centre to centre distance

following the buildingrsquos category and height

The supporting structure can be fitted on every kind of walls (wood metal concrete) with or without

external insulation

Always keep a minimum 2cm air gap for ventilation behind the cladding (check the

recommendations of the local regulations )

The supporting structure has to be placed perpendicular to the cladding For vertical installation

the ventilation will be enabled through the claddingrsquos ribs or thanks to a crossed structure (following

the local recommendations)

Wide board With 300 mm width

KEY INSTALLATION PRINCIPLES

MAINTENANCE

21

Depending on the boards dirt after implementation (presence of mud dust etchellip) especially in the

grooves rain stains can appear on the surface

NEOLIFE strongly recommend to clean the boards after implementation with a pressure

washer following the boardsrsquo orientation (distance of min 20cm from the board DO NOT

USE a rotary nozzle)

Recommendations

Do not forget to clean the window shelves as well avoiding so any risk of dust stains on the

cladding after the first rain (windows are frequently dusty during construction)

All metal joineries (windows parapet capping etchellip) have to have a drip-edge flashing in

order to limit the water runoff on the cladding Shop signs or any other elements installed on

the cladding have to be moved forward (space left between cladding and the element) to

avoid any stains

Caution

If any operation involving the use of asphalt or concrete occurs after facade completion

NEOLIFE recommend to protect the cladding with a plastic cover in order to avoid stains

Indeed if not protected a greasy steam can spread on the surface and in the grooves In that

case a grease-removing product will be needed to clean the boards and all the surrounding

elements

bull Insect-resistant does not require any treatments against termites

STAIN REMOVAL

STAINS

Tanin stains

During the first weeks after installation tannin rings may occur because of the rain especially

on claddings with a light colour They will be washed off and fade during the next rain to

lessen until they completely disappear Be careful not to mistake these stains with dust or

pollution stains which appear on all cladding types

Bleach-based cleaning products

Slight discolouration Clean with water and complete if needed with slight brushing in the

boards orientation

Graffities oil paint and ink

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo STG 105 BIO raquo de STG)

Bitumen grease

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo Scalp Aqua 03 raquo)

Oxidation stains after contact with a corroded metal

Use a specialised wood de-greyer (ex laquo Scalp Neutral DA 66 raquo)

Caution

- Analyse properly the substance to clean so to use the right stain removing product

- Always test the stain removing product on a small and discrete surface before cleaning the

entire board

- It is mandatory that you analyse on a long time scale (and after exposure to Uvs) that the

solution you choose will not react with the cladding and therefore produce unsightly effects

MAINTENANCE

21

Depending on the boards dirt after implementation (presence of mud dust etchellip) especially in the

grooves rain stains can appear on the surface

NEOLIFE strongly recommend to clean the boards after implementation with a pressure

washer following the boardsrsquo orientation (distance of min 20cm from the board DO NOT

USE a rotary nozzle)

Recommendations

Do not forget to clean the window shelves as well avoiding so any risk of dust stains on the

cladding after the first rain (windows are frequently dusty during construction)

All metal joineries (windows parapet capping etchellip) have to have a drip-edge flashing in

order to limit the water runoff on the cladding Shop signs or any other elements installed on

the cladding have to be moved forward (space left between cladding and the element) to

avoid any stains

Caution

If any operation involving the use of asphalt or concrete occurs after facade completion

NEOLIFE recommend to protect the cladding with a plastic cover in order to avoid stains

Indeed if not protected a greasy steam can spread on the surface and in the grooves In that

case a grease-removing product will be needed to clean the boards and all the surrounding

elements

BUILDING SITE CLEANING

bull The VESTAreg material is naturally equivalent to use class 4(service environment In contact with ground or fresh water amp Permanently exposed to wetting The use classes rank the risk of exposure to decay and insect attack for differing in service environments according to EN 335 ndash 2)

bull Highly hydrophobic and rot-proof no algae fungi or moss development

bull Insect-resistant does not require any treatments against termites

STAIN REMOVAL

STAINS

Tanin stains

During the first weeks after installation tannin rings may occur because of the rain especially

on claddings with a light colour They will be washed off and fade during the next rain to

lessen until they completely disappear Be careful not to mistake these stains with dust or

pollution stains which appear on all cladding types

Bleach-based cleaning products

Slight discolouration Clean with water and complete if needed with slight brushing in the

boards orientation

Graffities oil paint and ink

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo STG 105 BIO raquo de STG)

Bitumen grease

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo Scalp Aqua 03 raquo)

Oxidation stains after contact with a corroded metal

Use a specialised wood de-greyer (ex laquo Scalp Neutral DA 66 raquo)

Caution

- Analyse properly the substance to clean so to use the right stain removing product

- Always test the stain removing product on a small and discrete surface before cleaning the

entire board

- It is mandatory that you analyse on a long time scale (and after exposure to Uvs) that the

solution you choose will not react with the cladding and therefore produce unsightly effects

MAINTENANCE

21

Depending on the boards dirt after implementation (presence of mud dust etchellip) especially in the

grooves rain stains can appear on the surface

NEOLIFE strongly recommend to clean the boards after implementation with a pressure

washer following the boardsrsquo orientation (distance of min 20cm from the board DO NOT

USE a rotary nozzle)

Recommendations

Do not forget to clean the window shelves as well avoiding so any risk of dust stains on the

cladding after the first rain (windows are frequently dusty during construction)

All metal joineries (windows parapet capping etchellip) have to have a drip-edge flashing in

order to limit the water runoff on the cladding Shop signs or any other elements installed on

the cladding have to be moved forward (space left between cladding and the element) to

avoid any stains

Caution

If any operation involving the use of asphalt or concrete occurs after facade completion

NEOLIFE recommend to protect the cladding with a plastic cover in order to avoid stains

Indeed if not protected a greasy steam can spread on the surface and in the grooves In that

case a grease-removing product will be needed to clean the boards and all the surrounding

elements

bull Insect-resistant does not require any treatments against termites

STAIN REMOVAL

STAINS

Tanin stains

During the first weeks after installation tannin rings may occur because of the rain especially

on claddings with a light colour They will be washed off and fade during the next rain to

lessen until they completely disappear Be careful not to mistake these stains with dust or

pollution stains which appear on all cladding types

Bleach-based cleaning products

Slight discolouration Clean with water and complete if needed with slight brushing in the

boards orientation

Graffities oil paint and ink

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo STG 105 BIO raquo de STG)

Bitumen grease

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo Scalp Aqua 03 raquo)

Oxidation stains after contact with a corroded metal

Use a specialised wood de-greyer (ex laquo Scalp Neutral DA 66 raquo)

Caution

- Analyse properly the substance to clean so to use the right stain removing product

- Always test the stain removing product on a small and discrete surface before cleaning the

entire board

- It is mandatory that you analyse on a long time scale (and after exposure to Uvs) that the

solution you choose will not react with the cladding and therefore produce unsightly effects

Depending on the boards dirt after implementation (presence of mud dust etchellip) especially in the

grooves rain stains can appear on the surface

NEOLIFE strongly recommend to clean the boards after implementation with a pressure

washer following the boardsrsquo orientation (distance of min 20cm from the board DO NOT

USE a rotary nozzle)

Recommendations

Do not forget to clean the window shelves as well avoiding so any risk of dust stains on the

cladding after the first rain (windows are frequently dusty during construction)

All metal joineries (windows parapet capping etchellip) have to have a drip-edge flashing in

order to limit the water runoff on the cladding Shop signs or any other elements installed on

the cladding have to be moved forward (space left between cladding and the element) to

avoid any stains

Caution

If any operation involving the use of asphalt or concrete occurs after facade completion

NEOLIFE recommend to protect the cladding with a plastic cover in order to avoid stains

Indeed if not protected a greasy steam can spread on the surface and in the grooves In that

case a grease-removing product will be needed to clean the boards and all the surrounding

elements

During the first weeks after installation tannin rings may occur because of the rain especially

on claddings with a light colour They will be washed off and fade during the next rain to

lessen until they completely disappear Be careful not to mistake these stains with dust or

pollution stains which appear on all cladding types

Bleach-based cleaning products

Slight discolouration Clean with water and complete if needed with slight brushing in the

boards orientation

Graffities oil paint and ink

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo STG 105 BIO raquo de STG)

Bitumen grease

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo Scalp Aqua 03 raquo)

Oxidation stains after contact with a corroded metal

Use a specialised wood de-greyer (ex laquo Scalp Neutral DA 66 raquo)

Caution

- Analyse properly the substance to clean so to use the right stain removing product

- Always test the stain removing product on a small and discrete surface before cleaning the

entire board

- It is mandatory that you analyse on a long time scale (and after exposure to Uvs) that the

solution you choose will not react with the cladding and therefore produce unsightly effects

MAINTENANCE

21

Depending on the boards dirt after implementation (presence of mud dust etchellip) especially in the

grooves rain stains can appear on the surface

NEOLIFE strongly recommend to clean the boards after implementation with a pressure

washer following the boardsrsquo orientation (distance of min 20cm from the board DO NOT

USE a rotary nozzle)

Recommendations

Do not forget to clean the window shelves as well avoiding so any risk of dust stains on the

cladding after the first rain (windows are frequently dusty during construction)

All metal joineries (windows parapet capping etchellip) have to have a drip-edge flashing in

order to limit the water runoff on the cladding Shop signs or any other elements installed on

the cladding have to be moved forward (space left between cladding and the element) to

avoid any stains

Caution

If any operation involving the use of asphalt or concrete occurs after facade completion

NEOLIFE recommend to protect the cladding with a plastic cover in order to avoid stains

Indeed if not protected a greasy steam can spread on the surface and in the grooves In that

case a grease-removing product will be needed to clean the boards and all the surrounding

elements

VESTAreg ECO-MATERIAL

VESTAreg (Vegetal Ecological Stable Timber

Advantage) is an innovative and eco-friendly compound

with exceptional properties It was developed by

NEOCOreg NEOLIFEreglsquos Research Centre specialising in

green technologies in partnership with European experts

EXCEPTIONAL WOOD FIBER CONTENTVESTAreg revolutionises eco-materials and the design of

environmental solutions for construction projects and the

landscaping of outside spaces It finally brings a response

to the architects landscapers and design officesrsquo

demands working on eco-construction and sustainable

development projects

ECO-FRIENDLYThe wood fibres contained in VESTAreg come exclusively

from sawmills offcuts the wood coming from sustainably

managed European forests The production of our material

does not require the cutting of any trees and does not use treated wood from recycled pallets Moreover

NEOLIFE does not use any toxic additives in the production process of the material

VESTAreg is 100 recyclable with a perfect traceability it only contains virgin substances (no recycled

components for which establishing a traceability is impossible)

CLEANDoes not contain solvents adhesives or phthalates and does not generate

toxic emissions

STABLE AND RESISTANTVESTAreg fibres benefit from a thermal treatment which provides hydrophobic properties to the material The

formula reinforced with mineral resin lignin and antioxidants enables a remarkable mechanical resistance as

well as an outstanding design

The mineral pigments also offer a strong resistance to UV rays making the colours more durable whatever the

exposure

STAIN REMOVAL

STAINS

Tanin stains

During the first weeks after installation tannin rings may occur because of the rain especially

on claddings with a light colour They will be washed off and fade during the next rain to

lessen until they completely disappear Be careful not to mistake these stains with dust or

pollution stains which appear on all cladding types

Bleach-based cleaning products

Slight discolouration Clean with water and complete if needed with slight brushing in the

boards orientation

Graffities oil paint and ink

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo STG 105 BIO raquo de STG)

Bitumen grease

Use a specialised stain remover (ex laquo Scalp Aqua 03 raquo)

Oxidation stains after contact with a corroded metal

Use a specialised wood de-greyer (ex laquo Scalp Neutral DA 66 raquo)

Caution

- Analyse properly the substance to clean so to use the right stain removing product

- Always test the stain removing product on a small and discrete surface before cleaning the

entire board

- It is mandatory that you analyse on a long time scale (and after exposure to Uvs) that the

solution you choose will not react with the cladding and therefore produce unsightly effects

VESTAreg ECO-MATERIAL

VESTAreg (Vegetal Ecological Stable Timber

Advantage) is an innovative and eco-friendly compound

with exceptional properties It was developed by

NEOCOreg NEOLIFEreglsquos Research Centre specialising in

green technologies in partnership with European experts

EXCEPTIONAL WOOD FIBER CONTENTVESTAreg revolutionises eco-materials and the design of

environmental solutions for construction projects and the

landscaping of outside spaces It finally brings a response

to the architects landscapers and design officesrsquo

demands working on eco-construction and sustainable

development projects

ECO-FRIENDLYThe wood fibres contained in VESTAreg come exclusively

from sawmills offcuts the wood coming from sustainably

managed European forests The production of our material

does not require the cutting of any trees and does not use treated wood from recycled pallets Moreover

NEOLIFE does not use any toxic additives in the production process of the material

VESTAreg is 100 recyclable with a perfect traceability it only contains virgin substances (no recycled

components for which establishing a traceability is impossible)

CLEANDoes not contain solvents adhesives or phthalates and does not generate

toxic emissions

STABLE AND RESISTANTVESTAreg fibres benefit from a thermal treatment which provides hydrophobic properties to the material The

formula reinforced with mineral resin lignin and antioxidants enables a remarkable mechanical resistance as

well as an outstanding design

The mineral pigments also offer a strong resistance to UV rays making the colours more durable whatever the

exposure
