The intelligent timber weatherboard 

TM

Introduction 

Purepine Mouldings Limited, manufacturers of Smartclad 

weatherboards with the hidden fixing system, is part of one 

of the longest established sawmilling and mouldings 

manufacturing operations in new Zealand. 

Situated just out of te Puke in the Bay of Plenty, the seven 

and a half hectare site was established back in 1958 as a 

moulding factory. in 1968 the sawmill operation was added. 

Over the years this site has been transformed from the 

original small factory building to a complex of buildings and 

sealed yards custom made for the processes carried out on 

the site. 

radiata Pine is now the only species normally milled. today 

the business is a wholly new Zealand owned family business. 

Sustainability 

Sustainability is a vital policy for us. 

We source all our logs from sustainable plantation forests 

found around the Bay of Plenty, Waikato and Poverty Bay and 

choose with great care to ensure they meet the specifications 

of the products required from them. 

to be competitive as well as cost effective, optimising the 

timber to reduce wastage is vital. to this end we are using 

Opticut technology from Michael Weinig to maximise the 

amount of timber we can use. 

it goes beyond that though. Being efficient everywhere in the 

operation is important. a good example is the use of waste 

sawdust and shavings as bio fuel to produce heat for the kiln 

drying operation. 

We believe, sustainability is paramount to a profitable future. 

NZ Wood 

in a world facing dwindling resources, atmospheric pollution 

and global warming, wood represents our most renewable 

raw material, a truly natural product which can be grown and 

consumed indefinitely. 

collectively the forestry and wood industry 

is new Zealand’s third largest industry 

contributing an enormous amount to our 

economy and making up over 12% of 

new Zealand’s export earnings. 

as a member of nZ Wood, Purepine 

Mouldings Limited’s business practices 

are in line with those of this organisation. 

BRANZ Appraised 

Smartclad bevelback weatherboard cladding system 

with the hidden fixing clip system, has been independently 

assessed by BranZ and has been appraised as being 

suitable for new Zealand Building code compliance.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS 

5.1 Designer Responsibility – the designer must 

ensure that the details contained in this manual are 

suitable for the intended building design and that 

additional detailing is provided for areas outside the scope 

and specifications of this manual. 

5.2 Cavity or Direct Fix? – Designers can use the 

Weathertightness risk Matrix in nZBc acceptable 

Solution e2/aS1 to determine whether the cladding can 

be direct fixed or whether a drained and vented cavity 

must be incorporated into the cladding system. this 

manual gives details for both scenarios. 



5.3

the Smartclad tM Bevelback Weatherboard Direct Fixed 

cladding System is to be used as an external horizontally 

fixed wall cladding system for buildings within the 

following scope: 

• the scope limitations of NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/ 

aS1, Paragraph 1.1; and, 

• constructed with timber framing complying with the 

nZBc; and, 

• with a risk score of 0–12, calculated in accordance 

with nZBc acceptable Solution e2/aS1, table 2; and, 

• situated in NZS 3604 Building Wind Zones up to, and 

including ‘Very High’. 

5.4 

Scope of Use – Cavity 

the Smartclad tM Bevelback Weatherboard cavity 

cladding System is to be used as an external horizontally 

fixed wall cladding system for buildings within the 

following scope: 

• the scope limitations of NZBC Acceptable Solution E2/ 

aS1, Paragraph 1.1; and, 

• constructed with timber framing complying with the 

nZBc; and, 

• with a risk score of 0–20, calculated in accordance 

with nZBc acceptable Solution e2/aS1, table 2; and, 

• situated in NZS 3604 Building Wind Zones up to, and 

including ‘Extra High’. 

the Smartclad tM Bevelback Weatherboard cavity 

cladding System can be used for weathertightness and 

structural wind loading when used for timber framed 

buildings subject to specific design up to a design 

differential ultimate limit state (ULS) wind pressure of 

2.5 kPa. 

5.5 Ground Clearances – the ground clearances set 

out in nZS3604:2011 must be adhered to in all cases. the 

bottom edge of the weatherboards must finish a minimum 

of 175 above unpaved ground or minimum 100 mm above 

paved ground. the weatherboards must overlap the 

bottom plate by at least 50 mm. 

the bottom edges of the weatherboards must be kept 

clear of decks or adjacent surfaces/roof flashings at 

low pitch roof/wall junctions by a minimum of 35 mm. See 

detail drawings. 

5.6 Framing – timber framing must comply with nZS 

3604 for buildings or parts of buildings within the scope 

limitations of nZS 3604. Buildings or parts of buildings 

outside the scope of nZS 3604 must be to a specific 

design in accordance with nZS 3603 and aS/nZS 1170. 

Where specific design is required, the framing must be of 

at least equivalent stiffness to the framing provisions of 

nZS 3604. in all cases studs must be at maximum 600 

mm centres. Dwangs must be fitted flush between the 

studs at maximum 800 mm centres. 

For timber framed buildings subject to specific design up 

to a design differential ultimate limit state (ULS) 

wind pressure of 2.5 kPa, the studs must be at maximum 

400 centres 

5.7 Cavity Construction – Buildings using cavity 

construction must incorporate the following additional 

features: 

• Cavity vent strip – to prevent vermin entry into the 

cavity and to add drainage from the cavity 

• Inter-storey junctions – Walls over two storeys in height 

must incorporate inter-storey drained joints in 

accordance with nZBc acceptable Solution e2/aS1, 

Paragraph 9.1.9.4(b). See figure 2.18 of this manual. 

5.8 Paint Finish – the use of a high quality acrylic top 

coat is advised. Ensure a minimum of 150 wet microns 

is applied. the painting must be completed not later than 

45 days after installation. More paint applied will aid the 

performance over time. 

TM 5.9 For SmartClad Bevelback weatherboards, PurePine 

Mouldings Limited recommends using paint with a colour 

which has a Light Reflective Valve (LRV) of greater than 

or equal to 45%. 




6. 

INSTALLATION INFORMATION 

(Please see page 6 for nailing Schedule.) 

6.1 Prior to Weatherboard Installation 

the flexible wall underlay (or rigid wall underlay) must be 

fitted in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. in 

particular it is essential that the underlay is dressed into 

the window/door opening, and the flashing tapes fitted to 

the jambs and sills and at the corners of the opening head. 

6.2 

Cavity Construction 

6.2.1 Where cavity construction is specified, Smartclad 

structural cavity battens must be installed over the 

building wrap to the wall framing at maximum 600 mm 

centres where the studs are at 600 mm centres or at 400 

mm centres when studs are at 400 mm centres. refer to 

BranZ Bulletin number 475 for further information. 

6.2.2 Where studs are at greater than 450 mm centres, 

a building wrap support (e.g. polypropylene strap) must 

be installed over the building wrap at maximum 300 mm 

centres horizontally. 

6.2.3 cavity starter strips – must be fitted to close off the 

cavity from vermin. the strip should be in accordance 

with nZBc acceptable Solution e2/aS1 Paragraph 

9.1.8.3. 

6.3 Flashings – where required, flashings such as 

corner, sill and saddle flashings must be installed prior to 

weatherboard installation. 

6.4 Fitting Weatherboards – See details on page 8. 

6.5 Joining Weatherboards – Fix weatherboards in 

full lengths where possible. Where joints are unavoidable, 

scarf the weatherboard at 45° over a stud/cavity batten 

and fix with one nail fixing through the overlapping board. 

Prime the cut ends of all scarf joints with two coats of 

premium timber primer before fixing. 

alternatively Smartclad tM Joint Soakers may be used. 

6.6 Fitting Window And Door Joinery – ideally, 

weatherboards should be fitted till the top of the opening 

is reached, then the joinery fitted. this allows for the 

boards to be fitted beneath the window flange and for the 

head flashing to be fixed over the window, then 

subsequent boards fixed over the head flashing. 

6.7 Prime Cut Ends – prior to fitting weatherboards or 

other timber trims, prime the cut ends with two coats of 

premium timber primer. 

6.8 Nailing Gable Ends and Top Boards – in some 

situations, it may not be possible to use the Smartclip 

and screw (e.g. gable ends, top board as the Smartclip 

may not let the eaves Moulding sit flat.) instead the 


tM 

weatherboards can be nailed conventionally, that is use 

75 x 3.15 mm hot-dip galvanised or stainless steel ring 

shank jolt head nails. the nail must be located 40 mm above 

the bottom edge of the overlap board and be punched a 

maximum of 2 mm below the surface of the board. Start 

fixing the weatherboards at the middle of their length and 

work outwards to the ends. Pre-drill all nail fixings within 

50 mm of the end of the board. 

6.9 External Corners – are finished by either using the 

SmartcladtM box corners or Smartclad tM corner soakers. 

6.10 Internal Corners – are finished by either scribing and 

notching alternate weatherboards or the Smartclad tM 

internal corner Scriber can be fitted. 

6.11 Facings – after the joinery and weatherboards are 

installed, the jambs of the window are finished with either 

a Smartclad tM Pre-Scribed Scriber or Pre-Scribed Facings. 

tM 6.12 SmartClad Sill – is an optional timber sill board that 

can be fixed to the sill of windows for aesthetic purposes. 

6.13 Eaves Moulding – is a cover trim to finish the junction 

between the top of the wall and the soffit. 

6.14 Air Seals – a nominal 5 to 10 mm gap must be left 

between the joinery reveal and the framing. a PeF backing 

rod is inserted and the gap sealed with a self-expanding 

polyurethane foam or sealant, in accordance with nZBc 

acceptable Solution e2/aS1 Paragraph 9.1.6. 

6.15 Finishing – Prior to painting the boards must be 

cleaned down, and any nail holes filled. the paint coating 

manufacturer’s instructions must be followed at all times 

for application of the paint finish. Smartclad tM Bevelback 

weatherboards must be painted as soon as practicable 

following fixing. 

all exposed faces, including top edges at sills and all 

bottom edges of Smartclad tM weatherboards and 

accessories must be finished with at least two coats of an 

exterior grade latex acrylic paint complying with any of 

Parts 7, 8, 9 or 10 of aS 3730. 

if Smartclad tM weatherboards are exposed to the weather 

for more than 60 days, they must be re-primed with one 

coat of alkyd primer prior to the application of the finishing 

coats. the recommended drying time between coats and 

the temperature limitations for application must be followed. 

(Note: For SmartClad TM Bevelback weatherboards, 

PurePine Mouldings Limited recommends using paint with 

a colour which has a Light Reflective Valve (LRV) of greater 

than or equal to 45%.) 


7. 

MAINTENANCE 

7.1 Building owners are responsible for the maintenance of 

the Smartclad tM Bevelback Weatherboard cladding System. 

7.2 regular maintenance is essential to ensure the 

performance requirements of the nZBc are continually met 

and to ensure the maximum serviceability of the system. 

7.3 regular cleaning (at least annually) of the paint coating 

is required to remove grime, dirt and organic growth and to 

maximise the life and appearance of the paint. Grime may 

be removed by brushing with a soft brush, warm water and 

detergent. Paint systems must be recoated at approximately 

7–10 yearly intervals in accordance with the paint 

manufacturer’s instructions. 

7.4 annual inspections must be made to ensure that all 

aspects of the cladding system, including the paint coating 

system, flashings and any sealed joints remain in a 

weatherproof condition. any damaged areas or areas showing 

NAILING SCHEDULE 

signs of deterioration which would allow water ingress must 

be repaired immediately. Sealant and paint coatings must be 

repaired in accordance with the relevant manufacturer’s 

instructions. 

7.5 Minimum ground clearances as set out in this manual 

must be maintained at all times during the life of the system. 

(Failure to adhere to the minimum ground clearances will 

adversely affect the long term durability of the Smartclad tM 

Bevelback Weatherboard cladding Systems.) 

8. 

HEALTH AND SAFETY 

tM 8.1 Smartclad weatherboards and timber accessories 

are cut with conventional hand and power tools. cutting of 

boards must be carried out in well ventilated areas. Personal 

protective equipment such as dust masks, eye and hearing 

protection must be worn.

Step 1 Storage and preparation 

• ensure that Smartclad weatherboards are correctly stored and protected 

prior to installation. 

• all weatherboards must be stored indoors or under a totally-weatherproof 

cover at all times. 

• the wrap that protects Smartclad when it is delivered is only a showerproof 

transit cover. it is not suitable for use as a weatherproof cover. 

• it is recommended that you apply a single coat of paint to each 

weatherboard before installation. choose paint with a colour that has a 

light reflective value (Lrv) of 45% or more. 

Step 2 Position the starter boards 

• correct alignment of the starter board is the key to a perfect job. 

take time to position this board as accurately as possible. 

• Position the starter board so that it overlaps the concrete base of 

foundation by at least 50mm. 

• confirm that the board is level with a laser or string line. 

• nail the starter board to the bottom plate of the framing 75 to 100mm 

up from the bottom base board. 

• For best results, use a pre-shaped scriber or a self-made story rod as a 

set out guide to ensure the weatherboards line up with heads of windows. 

• Fix top of starter board with Smartclip and 65mm 8 gauge screw. 

Step 3 Install each weatherboard 

• Fit the angled groove on the reverse of the Smartclad weatherboards 

over the Smartclips along the length of the previous board. the board 

will sit in place with little effort while you prepare to secure it. 

• Fit the Smartclip into the rebate on the top of the weatherboard, making 

sure the clip is angled upwards. 

• With a little downward pressure on top of the board, screw the clip into 

place using the 65mm x 8 gauge screw, using the angled hole in the clip 

as a guide. 

• if needed, give the weatherboard a gentle downward tap with your 

hammer to make sure it is seated firmly. 

• to ensure you achieve the correct vertical cover of each board, use a 

pre-shaped scriber as a story rod while you install the weatherboards. 

this assists the correct fit of the pre-shaped scribers, window facings 

and box corners once the cladding is installed. 

For further information 0800 768 253 email info@smartclad.co.nz or visit www.smartclad.co.nz 

Step 4 Finishing 

• Prime cut ends – more paint 

will help seal the timber from 

moisture uptake and reduce 

dimensional movement. 

• Paint Smartclad weatherboards 

as soon as possible to maintain 

their pristine finish. 

• the use of a high quality acrylic 

top coat is advised. Ensure a 

minimum of 150 wet microns 

is applied. 

the painting must be completed 

not later than 60 days after 

installation. More paint applied 

will aid the performance over 

time.
