In this comment I will detail how to get this look at an 8th the cost... I just finished a house where we had 1.5" Roxul rockwool insulation all over the exterior of the house. We then wrapped the house with pressure treated 1x4s. Scewed 16" on center w 3" outdoor screws every 2' vertically threw the Rockwool and wrapping all corners. Using 4'x8' concrete board panels from home depot with 1/4" spacers. Instead of this expensive made to order concrete board. I Cut the CB panels with a diamond blade in my skillsaw mag77. Used a clamped level to insure straight cuts. (Honestly a track saw would have been a life/time saver) Video says they get 5,000 meters per blade and I'm calling BS on that nonsense.. I was going through those blades like they were going out of style. A couple a week. We tried all sorts of methods for attaching the CB to the PT 1x4s. Everything from #8 nails to d21 nails. I found using 1&1/4" narrow crown staples to do the best job at holding and sinking in. (Customer wanted a seamless look... Painter wasn't to stoked to bondo all the staple holes lol) In all honesty if this material is in your budget I'd say buy everything they lay out in this video. Had I had the cash I could have saved myself the time and the learning curve of doing it the way I did. But in the end all said and done I am really happy with how it turned out. I'm sure I saved countless thousands of dollars as well. If you would like to see pics email me!
Hey Barton, I have to put around 100 square meter of EQUITONE NATURA on my wood structure (exterior). Would love to have some tips and materials needed. I already have the panels but can't see how to start with it. Thanks
