FAQs
Nichiha panels require a flat, structurally sound substrate with an approved rainscreen attachment system (such as Nichiha clips or furring strips) to ensure proper drainage and ventilation behind the wall assembly.
Engineered for extreme weather durability, Nichiha fiber cement panels resist salt air corrosion, freeze-thaw degradation and moisture intrusion without cracking or delaminating.
No, Nichiha exterior wall panels come factory-finished with high-performance coatings that eliminate the need for frequent painting or sealing, requiring only periodic washing with water and mild detergent.
