JetBoard

Advancing Construction Innovation™ is what JetProducts is all about. Our lines of exterior and interior building products are part of a growing new class of enviro-friendly products called Mag-Oxide (MgO) Board. Our unique manufacturing process utilizes patented technology to create a board product that is quickly defining the future of cement-based backer boards. Here’s why:

People Silica free No exposure Safer with Lower costs	Why Contractor-safe when cutting Raw materials and final product are harmless Superior fire resistance makes buildings safer which lowers insurance costs Enables new building methods that are more efficient Can be ground into the soil as a nutrient Low Energy input versus Portland cement CO2 captured during manufacturing Minimal energy input in JetProducts plant
Environment 30-50% less energy use 100% recycle Low CO2 footprint

BASIC COMPOSITION

Environment-friendly magnesium cement

JOINING REQUIREMENTS

JetBoard panels are fastened at abutting board edges and optionally covered by PVC or metal joiners, battens, or with a compatible caulk.

FASTENER SIZE AND SPACING

* Installation to conventional wood frame construction in most locations: minimum 4d common nails spaced 8" o.c. at panel adges and intermediate framing members spaced up to 24" on center.
* Installation to conventional 20ga metal frame construction in most locations: minimum No. 8-18 x 0.323" HD x 1" long ribbed bugle screws spaced 6" o.c. at panel edges and intermediate framing members spaced up to 24" on center.

FASTENING

JetBoard panels can be hand nailed or fastened with a pneumatic tool. Set your air pressure so that the fastener is driven flush with the panel surface. The use of a flush mount attachment is recommended on pneumatic tools to help control the depth that the nail is driven.

FASTENER REQUIREMENTS

* Position fasteners a minimum of 3/8" from edges.
* Drive fasteners perpendicular to siding and framing.
* Fastener heads should fit flush against soffit (no air space).
* Do not over-drive nail heads or drive nails at an angle.
* If nail is countersunk, caulk nail hole and add a nail.

FASTENERS

Nails and screws must be corrosion-resistant. Nails complying with ASTM F-1667 must be corrosion-resistant, galvanized, or stainless steel. Electro-galvanized nails may be used but may exhibit premature corrosion. JetBoard recommends the use of quality, hot-dipped galvanized nails. Screw fasteners for the installation of JetBoard shall be corrosion-resistant.

FINISHING

Patching

Dents and chips can be filled with a cementitious patching compound or an elasto-meric filler.

Caulking

A high quality, paintable caulk is recommended. For best results, use caulks that comply with either ASTM C834 or ASTM C920. Caulking should be applied in accordance with caulking manufacturers' written instructions.

* Leave 1/8" gap at trim for caulk
* Caulking at butt joints is optional

Painting

For best results, JetBoard should be primed first and then painted with a 100% acrylic topcoat(s). Multiple topcoats will extend the life of the painted surface and the board.
