mthomas1 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 Any idea what this might be? My first though was Staccato, but the building is only five years old... Click to Enlarge 54.55 KB Click to Enlarge 45.67 KB Click to Enlarge 64.73 KB
Marc Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 Stucco style hardi-panel? Is that what you term Staccato? Marc
Jim Katen Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 Stuccato was a hardboard product made by Masonite. The stuff in your pictures looks like a fibercement product. It's not Hardi or CertainTeed; their stucco panels look very different. Probably some cheap-ass competitor.
mthomas1 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Posted July 13, 2014 It *looks* like fiber cement, but I had a hard time believing that a FC product could deteriorate as fast as the material in the third picture, even with that Cat IV exhaust directed onto it. But I guess if it was cheap-ass *enough*...

They make one that looks like that. http://www.beyerslumber.com/roofing-and ... ling-abtco
kurt Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 I think I know that dump. Is it down in Logan next to the McDonalds?

Can't find any installation instructions on line, through. Is flashing required at horizontal panel junctions?
kurt Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 Not the place I'm thinking of..... Hardipanel has an "H" channel to hold the panels; it's not flashing necessarily, but it's a channel. Architectural panels like this should have a treated edge intended for exposure, a 1/4 inch (or so) gap, and and (of course) a drainage plane. Dupont had a Tyvek product, black, that was a housewrap intended for use under panels. When you butt the panels, bad things happen, as we can see.
