Kebony North America announced on Dec. 30 that it has received an ICC-ESL Product Listing for its 1x6 dually modified wood Click-In Cladding System, as well as Florida Building Code approval across 60-plus counties in Florida for additional CCS configurations.
“ICC certification is recognized all over the world, and both ASTM E330 and FBC approval are especially important to architects and building envelope consultants designing for high-impact wind environments,” said Andy Hehl, director of Kebony North America. “The products are tested under a quality system that’s audited by an accredited third party, and everything is consistently controlled and produced to the highest standards.”
Kebony’s 1x6 cladding was tested by ICC-NTA Testing Services in vertical and horizontal applications, fastened with concrete anchors.
Further engineering calculations were performed on the CCS with 1x8 boards, varying rail and fastener spacing using different fastener types and substrates. These details are included in a supplement that also includes mile-per-hour wind speed conversions from the design pressures that ASTM E330 provides.
