Vertigo 5010WHS: Wood hybrid systemDatasheetMaximum 12 mm 7 16 inMetal furring stripMinimum 3 mm 2 16 inMetal furring strip1. Weeping of condensation and aircir culation are essential to the healthof building products. Please ensure atleast 6 mm (1 4”) thickness of furringstrips and do not seal the bottom ortop of the wall.2. Geolam boards are to be mountedhorizontally, vertically, or diagonally onfurring strips or gets spaced no morethan 24 inches on center. Metalfurring strips are best but other stable,non-de teriorating materials may beused. For horizontal mounting startat the top and work down.3. Boards may be ripped (cut along theirlength) as needed.4. Recommended screws are stainlesssteel, with an austenitic structure andnon-magnetic. Recommended screwdi ameter is 4 mm, pan head with adiameter of 8.2 mm and length of19 mm.5. The boards will expand in warmerweather and contract in coolerweather. For horizontal installationcreate a fixed point near the middle ofthe board e.g. A 4 mm hole with a 4mm screw diameter. Moving out fromthis mid-point, the boards need to bepre-drilled with a 7 mm hole and thescrews loosely fastened in the middleof these holes so that the board canexpand and contract under the screwheads. Failure to do this may result inbuckling of the boards.6. The boards may be miter-cut foroutside corners.7. Exposed screws on the final boardmay be covered with caulking ifdesired or covered with any powdercoated metal piece.

Installation guideVertigo WPC Cladding BoardGeolam: a stunning alternative to wood claddingVertigo is a composite wood cladding board requiring minimum maintenance. Durable andfade resistant, it will not crack or show significant signs of age over time. It is resistant toinsect and fungus damage. It has been used by Japanese architects for more than 20 years,and in Europe for more than five, to enhance the architectural features of their buildings.Geolam Vertigo is made from recycled material and is manufactured using environmentallyfriendly processes.www.geolaminc.com

Installation guide Geolamis a composite material made from recycled wood andresins, and is easy to install. However, handling and fitting techniques are different to thosedeployed when using natural wood, so please be sure to follow the instructions below carefully Vertigo BoardStainless steel Vertigo clipsQUICK BUT IMPORTANT HINTS1. Board lengths expand and contract according to temperature. Refer to the ExpansionTable (on page 3) to compare temperature at time of installation vs maximum or minimumtemperatures anticipated. For example if boards are installed on the hottest day of theyear they will not expand.2. Allow airflow behind the boards to assist in temperature and moisture management.(See diagrams on page 10)3. Install “anchor” screws at mid point of boards to prevent “walking” (See diagram on page11).4. Cover boards with a waterproof tarp prior to installation to avoid greater-than-normalaccumulation of dust. If you fail to do this, you may need to wash the boards just priorto installation.Please refer to these installation guidelines carefully, as improper installationmay result in product malfunction and voiding the warranty. Geolam consists of,amongst other materials natural wood. Accordingly, color variation may occur.BASIC GUIDELINES FOR USING GEOLAM . Geolam composite boards consist of almost 50% natural wood fiber. As a result there will be some colorvariation from board to board. Please take this into consideration in planning your installation to maximizeaesthetic appeal. Leave a minimum interval of ¾” between the wall and the cladding boards. Thickness of the strapping orsleepers must be no less than ¾” to ensure adequate ventilation of the boards after installation, includingaround doors and window frames. Intervals between each sleeper center cannot exceed 16”. Minimum section of sleepers must be ¾” x 2”.You may install exterior insulation between the sleepers, but if you do so please make sure that yoursleepers are sufficiently deep so as not to compromise the ¾” airspace behind the boards. For example, ifyou install ¾” rigid insulation, you will need 1 ½” deep sleepers. Vertigo boards are 12 feet in length. Clips need to be applied on each sleeper, however a minimum of 3contact points and 3 clips are required per board, whatever the length of the board, i.e. for shorter lengthsof boards.www.geolaminc.com2

BASIC GUIDELINES CONT/ The cladding board is water resistant and is designed for exterior application. It contains both wood andplastic, and as such will expand and contract according to changes in temperature and humidity. The boardis at its shortest under dry, cold conditions and is longest under hot, wet conditions.For a horizontal application you are advised to drive a stainless steel screw or finishing nail through the uppertab of each board into a sleeper at, or close to, the middle of the board’s length. (This screw will be hiddenby the next board placed above it by its lower, overlapping edge). This screw will secure the board in place,ensure that all expansion and contraction activity is assigned to its ends, and will eliminate the possibility ofthe board to ‘walk’.For vertical applications the boards can be placed on a ledge or flat hooks that allow for proper drainage.All expansion and contraction activity will occur at the top of each board, so please allow for this.You will need to allow for expansion of the boards depending on the temperature when installed and theanticipated maximum temperature for your location. Similarly, you will need to anticipate contraction ofthe board depending on the temperature when installed and the expected minimum temperature for yourlocation. Please refer to the expansion table below:Expansion tableTemperature differenceºCºFFull board12 ftHalf length6 6"50905/8"5/16"Eg. Install a board at 60ºF. If maximum temperature is 100º, this will mean a temperature increase of about 40ºF,so 1/2" must be left as an end gap between two 12 ft boards. Please note that each single board will expand 1/4"on each end.FASTENING: It is preferable to use the stainless steel Vertigo clips to fasten the boards. You may face screw the boards ifdesired, but you will need to take into account the effects of expansion and contraction. For short pieces ofboard e.g. 4 ft or less, these effects will be minimal. For longer boards it will be necessary to screw theboard securely at each strapping point. Use the 2 stainless steel 1” screws provided per clip In order to avoid rust stains always use only stainless steel screws. Set your screw gun on low and fasten at reduced speed.www.geolaminc.com3

INSTALLATION HINTS F or horizontal installation: To minimize boards “walking” it is suggested that you face-screw the innertab on the upper side of each board at or near the center. Expansion and contraction will occur towards theends of each board. This screw will be hidden by the overlapping lip of the higher board when it is installed.(See diagram on page 11.) O utside corners: You may choose to not leave an expansion gap at the corner for aesthetic reasons. If so,you will need to face screw the inner tabs of each board at or near the corner and “force” the expansionand contraction towards the other end of each board. Please ensure that you allow an additional gap toaccommodate all of the expansion. e.g. 1/2”. (See diagrams on page 7.) V ertical installation: All of these installation instructions apply. Boards can be mounted either on a ledgewith proper drainage or on hooks. Each board weighs slightly more than 14 lbs. For heights greater than12 feet, you can install the boards either in rows, or in a brick pattern. In either case, please rememberthat all of the expansion will occur at the top end of each vertical board, so you will need to leave enoughroom. e.g. 1/2”. (See diagrams on pages 8 and 9.) There are several ways to minimize the appearance of butt joints, depending on your design:a. H ide the ends of the Geolam boards behind trim (pls allow expansion and contraction behind the trim)(See diagram on page 6.)b. Have the ends meet another architectural feature. The expansion gap required will appear less visiblewhen the Geolam boards meet another material e.g. stucco, brick, or another plane i.e. an inside corner.(See diagram on page 6.)c. I nside corners with Geolam boards. One board should be tucked into the corner with enough room toexpand. The other board will meet it, but with the required expansion space. (See diagram on page 7.)INSTALLATION CARE: Vertigo is a rain screen. Please ensure that your exterior wall is properly protected prior to application ofsleepers and Vertigo boards. Boards can be installed horizontally or vertically. If installed vertically it is recommended that sleepers beproperly flashed so as not to deteriorate from moisture build up. In addition, sleepers mounted horizontallywill need to have 2” gaps every 3 ft to allow a weep hole for moisture intrusion and condensation as well asair circulation behind the boards. Boards can also be installed using our hidden fasteners for soffit applications. e.g. upside down. It is recommended that a waterproof coating be applied on the exterior wall, including the sleepers, priorto installation of the Vertigo boards. Start the installation from the bottom up. For the first line of clips you can break the expansion winglet ofthe clip or use a metal profile adapted to that use (not provided). At butt joints fasten each end of the boards on double sleepers or on a support no less than 4” wide. Dothe same thing for inner and outer corners and around window frames. Boards should not be cantilevered. The Geolam fastening system is designed to move. Accordingly, you will need to ensure that the ends ofthe boards are secure either by meeting at inside or outside corners (the latter can be mitered), the additionof trim, meeting another cladding material, or other architectural feature.www.geolaminc.com4

INSTALLATION CARE CONT/ Vertigo cladding can break when hit hard. Handle the boards with care. Newly installed boards may bear an inordinately high level of dust and dirt either because they were storednear a dusty construction site or were exposed to higher than normal levels of dust at the site immediatelyafter installation. A subsequent light rain will pick up both dust and pollution in the air, add this to the duston the board, and may result in streaking when the boards dry, similar to glass streaking in a dishwasher.This ordinarily washes away in later heavy rainfalls, but can be avoided altogether if the boards are cleanedprior to, or just after, installation. Soapy water and a hose should do it. Avoid contact with fire, chimneys, or stove exhausts. Boards melt at 340ºF. Never obstruct the space between the cladding and the wall in order to allow for good aircirculation. (See page 10) It is recommended that screening or other measures be used to discourage entryof insects or vermin at the lower boards. It is recommended to affix a flashing at the bottom of the cladding in order to protect the foundation. Never immerse the cladding boards in concrete. Although the cladding boards are highly resistant to bending, they can crack under a violent impact oran extreme pressure. When installing the boards, be careful not to break the corners of the boards. Vertigo boards can be handled the same way as lumber with respect to cutting. We recommend theuse of a carbide saw blade or a light metal saw.FINISHING: You may use galvanized or aluminium profiles for corners and edges. For the installation of the last upper board, break the winglet of the clip, turn the clip upside down andscrew it through the Vertigo board. A predrill of the board is necessary for each screw. ( See cross-sectiondiagrams on page 6.)STORAGE: Store the boards on sleepers spaced no more than 16” apart and in a flat area only. Keep indoors or coverwith a waterproof tarp. If allowed to get wet during storage the dust laden water will leave spots when itdries. This does not occur when the boards are installed because of the natural cleaning process providedby wind & rain.www.geolaminc.com5

How Geolamstacks up againstthe competitionGeolam comes out on top, after independent testing.To determine how well Geolam compares against its competition, independent testingfacility Compositology LLC conducted extensive tests. In addition to the standard tests,Geolam and its competitors were subjected to a series of tests never done before. Thesetests measured slip resistance (both wet and dry) and water absorption (both fresh andsalt water). In both cases, Geolam proved to be superior by impressive margins. It also wasshown to be stronger than its competition. The results can be seen on the following pages.The safest decking product in dry and wet conditions.Slip-resistance is a critical safety issue and some products have significantly different slip-resistance valueswhen wet.

The lowest water absorption rate in fresh and salt water.Testing proves that the water absorption rates of some composite decking products may increasesignificantly when exposed to water for an extended period. Composite decking products with higherwater absorption rates can experience dimensional change, decreased mechanical performance and aremore susceptible to mold. When submerged in salt water, some products had an increase in their waterabsorption rates of more than 90%. That degraded their structure and their performance.
