Project review checklist

Cladvera will request product-specific documents before treating the board as a project specification.

  • Exact panel construction, thickness, dimensions and edge details
  • Current finish card, physical samples and batch matching
  • Product-specific fire, weathering and mechanical test reports
  • Attachment design and complete wall-assembly evidence for the project jurisdiction
  • Order quantity, production schedule and shipment terms

Fire and wall assembly

Compactwood publishes Chinese fire and performance claims without an accessible report for the orderable panel. The design team must review the exact panel, attachment and complete wall assembly against the project's jurisdiction.
