Properties and performance Authority Vertigo Fibre cement slates are manufactured in accordance with a quality management system registered by BSI to BS EN ISO 9001 ‘Quality Management Systems requirements’ for products manufactured to BS EN 492 ‘Fibre cement slates and fittings – Product specification and test methods’. The slates also have a minimum apparent density of 1700kg/m3 when tested to BS EN 492 and a nominal thickness of 4mm. Additionally, the manufacturing location operates an environmental management system, registered with the BSI as meeting the requirements of BS EN ISO 14001...

Environmental effects Thermal The thermal resistance (R) of fibre cement slates when dry is 0.011m2K/W. Fibre cement slates are electronically insulating. Reference should be made to BS 6651 for recommendations on the protection of buildings against lightning strikes. For the purpose of thermal transmittance calculations, the ‘R’ values above should be substituted by a figure of 0.12m2K/W which includes the roof covering and airspace behind the tiles or slates. An ‘R’ value of 0.002m2K/W should be added for the roof underlay. Heat After an initial period of stabilisation, slates are...

Installation requirements Primary structures Vertigo slates are suitable for the following structures: > masonry panels and walls made of brick or block work > pre-cast concrete walls > wooden framed constructions Where fibre cement slates are used on a walling application, the backing structure must be the water/wind proof construction. The Vertigo range, when used in a wall application is suitable for use with up to a maximum 2.0 kN/m2 windload. Loadings in excess of this are not recommended.

Fixings Vertigo slates are fixed with either one or two hooks, or with three nails. The minimum headlap is 60mm for all installation methods. Nails Slate nails, with large heads, should be jagged copper nails. Hook fixing Hooks are used for the following fixing methods: Timber support frames These recommendations are given on the assumption that all health and safety regulations have been observed. Only timber battens complying with BS 5628: Part 2* and protected against decay and insect attack to BS 5628: Part 5 should be used. Supporting timbers Timber joists are fixed mechanically to the...
