          The Nantucket® BeadBoard Co., Inc. originated on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts in 1993 with the manufacture of a sheet product with beaded grooves that simulated the appearance of tongue and groove paneling found in many of the historic Nantucket homes. The BeadBoard manufacturing facility was moved to New Hampshire in 1998. This allowed for the addition of a full paint department and the availability of unfinished or primed BeadBoard products.

In 1999 Nantucket® BeadBoard introduced a product line of sheet and shiplap products extremely resistant to moisture and decay. As of January 1, 2005 all moisture resistant exterior panel products (MRX) are manufactured as full weather rated, and treated with zinc borate for rot and termite resistance. Interior bathrooms, basements, exterior porch ceilings, and soffits are just a few of the applications to benefit from this building substrate.

Nantucket® BeadBoard has an ongoing commitment to innovation and quality. Please contact us with any questions regarding production with or installation of our products.

          PART 3EXECUTION
 
          3.1EXAMINATION
 
          A.Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.
 
          B.If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
 
          3.2PREPARATION
 
          A.Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
 
          B.Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.
 
          C.Verify adequacy of backing and support framing.
 
          D.For installation over existing surfaces, prep walls by removing any loose paint, plaster or wallpaper. Use nailing strips if required to level any uneven surfaces and provide a solid base for beadboard and trim.
 
          E.Verify mechanical, electrical, and building items affecting work of this section are placed and ready to receive this work
 
          3.3INSTALLATION
 
          A.Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
 
          B.For interior applications condition panels prior to fabrication and installation by placing them in the room to be paneled, with spacers between each piece to allow for air circulation. Allow 48 to 72 hours for material to acclimate to the humidity and temperature of the room in which it applied.
 
          C.For exterior application allow 48 to 72 hours for materials to acclimate to the humidity and temperature of the area in which it is to be installed prior to fabrication and installation. Protective measures should be taken to prevent exposure to direct weather during the acclimation time period.
 
          D.Install beadboard over horizontal nailing strips attached between the studs or glued directly to drywall and plaster surfaces with a construction adhesive as indicated on the Drawings.
 
          E.In ceiling applications run material at right angles to the joists or install strapping to apply material parallel with joists, glue and nail accordingly.
 
          F.Maximum spans are as follows:
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Select the paragraphs as required for the materials selected. Delete the paragraphs not required. Note that the 1/4 inch material is not recommend for horizontal applications.
          1.1/2 inch (12.5 mm) products require support every 16 inches (406 mm) on center.
          2.3/8 inch (9.5 mm) products requires support every 12 inches (305 mm) on center.
          3.1/4 inch (6 mm) products requires support every 12 inches (305 mm) on center.
 
          G.Start installation at an inside or outside corner. Space to avoid having to install very narrow pieces. Dry-fit the first panel, making any tapered or angled cuts necessary so that the leading edge is left plumb and level, with seams over studs or installed blocking.
 
          H.Set and secure materials and components in place, plumb and level.
 
          I.Carefully scribe work abutting other components, with maximum gaps of 1/32 inch (1 mm).
 
          J.Apply adhesives in accordance with adhesive manufacturers instructions.
          1.Secure panels as necessary with finish nails.
          2.Test on samples to determine if it will be necessary to pre-drill holes for finish nailing when using moisture resistant products.
          3.Use a quality panel adhesive that maintains flexibility when cured to allow the panel to adjust with changes in temperature. Do not use hard or rigid setting adhesives.
 
          K.Pull the panel away from the wall and hold it for about 30 seconds, then press the panel back into position and secure with block and hammer.
 
          L.Apply adhesives in accordance with adhesive manufacturers instructions. Secure panels as necessary with finish nails. Test on samples to determine if it will be necessary to pre-drill holes for finish nailing when using moisture resistant (MR) products.
 
          M.Allow for wall and ceiling outlets, doors and windows.
 
          N.Use of a thin bead of white paint grade caulk at each joint will help achieve a seamless look. Clean each joint before proceeding to the next panel.
 
          O.Countersink exposed fasteners below the surface and cover with putty or wood patch and sand flush. Caulk all gaps and joints with painters caulk.
 
          P.Finish your Beadboard with 1 or 2 coats of high quality latex or oil based paint.
 
          Q.Finish installation with moldings for baseboards, chair rails, inside and outside corners and ceiling to wall trims as indicated on the Drawings.
 
          R.Install trim with nails with blind fasteners where possible.
 
          3.4PROTECTION
 
          A.Protect installed products until completion of project.
 
          B.Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
