This document provides information about Reznoclad, a type of high pressure laminate panel suitable for exterior cladding and facades. It describes the manufacturing process, grades available, characteristics like UV and weather resistance, common applications, installation and fixing methods. Technical specifications are also listed, showing fire resistance classifications and passing various tests for properties like dimensional stability and resistance to impacts, wet conditions, and weathering. Colors and patterns available are displayed along with example projects using Reznoclad panels.
2. ABOUT REZNOCLAD
Reznoclad is self-supporting high pressure laminate (HPL) with a
decorative surface that is suitable for exteriors. It is fade resistant
weather-proofand complieswith standard EN 438.
It is entirely made up of layers of phenolic resin & impregnated craft
paperswith top decorative layer and UVprotective film.
The manufacturing process involves the combining of papers with
o
applications of high heat (150 c) and high pressure (9 Mpa) in which
resin polycondensation takes place. One or both sides can be
decorative mixedwith the phenolic resins.

3. TYPES OF EXTERIOR PANELS
REZNOCLAD panels are available in the following grades for their
suitability as per the required applications.
• Exterior Cladding Panels (Fire Retardant)
• Exterior Cladding Panels
• Exterior Cladding Panels (With Anti-graffiti)
• Wall and facade linings • Cladding or exhibition building
• Sporting and entertainment complexes
• Decoration of commercial sites • Residential dwellings
• silhouette profiles • fences • Facade Claddings

REZNOCLAD panels are extremely durable with
international styling and a wide range of colours
available on both horizontal and vertical designs. Its
excellent technical properties make it suitable for the
building industries as an ideal alternative to traditional
materials.

4. CHARACTERISTICS
CLEANING &
MAINTENANCE
HANDLING &
STORAGES
Reznoclad panel comes with a film on top layer for protection during transportation. During
stocking, panels must be stacked horizontally on flat, stable shelfs, the panels to be stored in
closed rooms under dry, normal climatic conditions. Cover plates must always be left on the stack.
The cover should be weighted down. Any form of dirt or dust between the panels must definitely
be avoided. Panels must be lifted and not pushed or pulled over the edge when carrying or
loading.
For climate differences, keep panels waiting for 24 hours in new climate conditions. With pre-
installed fastering elements, care is to be take that the climatic effect is uniform on all sides. Use
intermediate layers ofwood or plastic.
REGULAR SIZES
The protective film applied at factory must
be removed from the surface of the panel
immediately after installation to the facade.
The surface of reznoclad panels repels dust,
however over the time it may be necessary
to clean their surface with soapy water for
better aesthetic over time.
WARRANTIES
Thanks to practical experience over many
year and the high quality of Reznoclad HPL
Panels, warranties are available both for
the product range in general and for
specific projects. More information can be
obtained from your local representative.

CLADDING
FIXING
METHOD
The lap Sliding Fixing Method has the advantage of being a very
attractive system ofpanel fixing.With pre-fabricated REZNOCLAD
Exterior Cladding panels for the lap sidings. It is easy to design
robust and modern facades. Besides the regular advantages of
REZNOCLAD Exterior Cladding panels, This lap siding panels looks
more eye catching.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. PreparingThe Substructure
REZNOCLAD lap siding panels are installed using mounting clips fixed to a sub-structure of vertical
wooden slats. Each slat must be at least 50 mm wide where two panels join to allow enough space for two
mounting clips side by side. The gap between each slat should not exceed 500 mm as applicable to low
building of up to 8m height. The panels are installed starting from the bottom. First of all, fit a horizontal
base bar. Now fit the first row of mounting clips so they rest on the bar. Make sure you fit 2 mounting clips
at eachvertical joint between panels.
2. Installing the first row ofpanels
Place the groove along the lower edge
of the REZNOCLAD lop siding panels
onto the mounting clips. Secure the
panels in place by fixing mounting clips
along the lop edge of each panel. The
panel above overlaps the first row of
panels by approximately 25 mm. Fit a
screw next to the lop middle mounting
clip on each panel. This is designed to
stop the sideways shifting ofpanels
3.Vertical joints
A slot for Fixing the mounting clips must be located at
each vertical joint. Two mounting clips, one either side of
the joint, ore needed to provide the necessary hold.
Please use proper backing strips to seal the vertical Joint
between cladding panels. If the siding elements ore
arranged so the vertical Joints ore offset then it is
sufficient to install the panel plus backing strip using o
single mounting clip. Ifthevertical joints are in a line then
two mounting clips need to be used. There must be a gap
ofat least 8 mm between the panels at the joint.
4. Outside corners/Inside cornerswith mitre
REZNOCLAD lap siding panels can be mitred lor both outside and inside corners. Outside corners: The
lap edge of the panel must be 12 mm shorter than the lower edge of the poneI (regardless of the panel
width). Inside corners: The lower edge of the panel must be 12 mm shorter than the top edge of the panel
(regardless of the panel width). The mitred edges must hove a chamfer. Thesub-struclure needs to be
protected with a plastic sheet to prevent water entering. Elements can be installed on both outside and
inside corners using a variety of shapes of corner profile. In this case the panels ore cut to size without a
mitre. Please make sure there is a gap ofat least 5 mm between each panel and the corner profile.
5. Installing the top row ofpanels
Secure the top row of panels by fitting screws along the top edge of each panels. Use screws with painted
heads to match the color of the panels, as used for the installation of full-sized Samrat exterior Cladding
panels.
