Learn more: http://www.allurausa.com/ Our mission is to passionately produce high quality fiber cement products while offering exceptional customer service and value. Fiber cement is a technology that has been around over 100 years, so it's tested. You can use it where it snows or in front of the beach or when it rains, it's a very good project. We were offered the complete fiber cement portfolio. That includes siding, trim, panels, softing everything that you think you might need for the exterior of your house. We have different profiles or different in textures, we have traditional texture that is like a see the look or smooth texture. It's inbred resistant, weather resistant is the ultimate building material alternative. Allura was created in 2014 out of the merger of three companies. However, the group has been producing fiber cement for over 75 years, so we have a lot of experience doing this. We have three plants in the US territory plus one south Texas, in Mexico, that serves the US market. So we want to have all of our plants at max capacity. Getting involved with the community at each of the plants is very important, so that we can donate our time or our product to help our communities grow. The building industry is such an important thing for everybody's life, because when you're invested in a house it's a big investment I think it's very important for this industry to have good customer service. So if you create that bonding with your customer, that's what it's going to be different from other products. It's the people, it's the relationships more than any other thing. Being a small company and a very flat organization and sometimes you have need going to see a customer because that's what I like. I want to be involved with them, I want to hear what they have to say. So that connection that we have, one on one with customers is I think what makes us special. Every employee in this organization is an asset so if you are passionate about what you are doing and you like what you're doing, everyday is going to come out better. It's part of our lives. It helping the communities. It's a great product. It's I think it's a great company to work with. I envision for Allura to continue to grow as a strong player in the fiber cement market in the US and Canada. We have everything. All the ingredients to get there. We have the people. We have the product. And we have the passion of course.

Fiber Cement Product Review - Allura USA

Learn how to safely use fiber cement installation tools from Tim Larson, the Product Application Specialist of Allura USA. Tim gives you the safety tips to properly install fiber cement products and how to use the right tools for the job. Want to learn more about fiber cement installation? https://youtu.be/lsMaPKu62Xg Before I start any projects, I make sure I have the proper safety equipment or protection equipment, PPE. The first thing I start with, for me, is my safety glasses. Everything that you cut or nail is throwing debris and very important you wear safety glasses. If I'm the cut guy on a fiber smith job, I'm making sure I have my minimum N95 mask. For the most part, if you cut outdoors and you have one to your back, you can cut it within a safe, permissible limit as far as OSHA's concerned. I've got my mask, my hard hat, my earplugs.

How To Safely Use Tools for Fiber Cement Installation - Allura USA

Learn how to install fiber cement siding from Tim Larson, the Product Application Specialist of Allura USA. Tim teaches you how to properly prepare and install fiber cement for homes. Want to learn more about fiber cement installation? https://youtu.be/lsMaPKu62Xg Today we're gonna be reviewing the general practices for installing fiber cement. When storing and handling fiber cement, it's important that you carry it on edge. And when you have it delivered, that it's on flat ground, out of the mud, and out of standing water. So when taking delivery of the product, it's important that you try not to bend it or damage it. In the old days, and with some lumber yards, they do it off a tilt bed and that bends the product. If you can get a service that has a Moffett base skilled forklift or a boom truck, that will be the preferable way to place it. That allows you to put a unit on each side of the house and reduces some of the back and fort that causes extra time and labor. So when cutting fiber cement, it's important that you cut outdoors, that you wear proper protective equipment. That you use shears if possible. But if not, make sure you use a fiber cement blade to cut it. When you cut fiber cement, it's important you cut it on the back side. The way the circular saws rotate through it. The way the shears work through it. You get a cleaner cut on the backside of it. So when I stack my material on my set up, I try to put all upside down. And that means when I'm raining dust down, it rains down on the back side and I get a cleaner cut. It also allows me to criss cross my cuts when I notch, and keeps me from having to whittle it out with a knife. When fastening Allura fiber cement, we recommend using a corrosion resistant fastener, stainless steel being on the best. A double hot dip nail, but we will accept electrical galvanized but don't recommend it. When you use a fiber cement, you have some choices. A roofing nail, a siding nail, a coil siding nail, minimum inch and 3/4 inch flank for the most part. It's an inch and a quarter embed into framing that can include OSB or plywood. If you're using a nonstructural substrate like gypsum, soletex, any of the products that don't have holding power, you're gonna have to be an inch and a quarter into wood with a nail. With a screw, it's only 3/4 of an inch. So you take the minimum. Add the thickness of the non-structural and the thickness of the product and that's gonna tell you your minimum length. So there are some fasteners you don't wanna use, and that's because they don't work or we haven't tested them. Those fasteners are staples, work great for wood not for fiber cement, a d-head nail, a clip nail, and that's because we haven't tested them, aluminum nails or gluing the product on.
