Easy To Install
A truly unique element of the Nichiha fiber cement panel line is the clip installation system. All Nichiha panels (except the Sierra Premium™ collection, which is blind-nailed) are ship lapped on four sides so no sealant or caulk is necessary. The patented Nichiha clip system saves labor time and costs, as no special tools or specific labor are needed to complete installation. The clip system also creates a pocket of air between the panels and substrate, reducing the potential for moisture build-up. No exposed fasteners mean a clean, beautiful look for any application.
