1 Introduction
Scyon Secura Interior Flooring is a substrate which has been specically engineered for use in internal wet and dry areas such as bathrooms, toilets and laundries to overlay with tiles, heavy grade vinyl or carpeting. Scyon Secura Interior Flooring provides a durable, stable and moisture resistant substrate. Scyon Secura Interior Flooring is manufactured using James Hardies unique Scyon advanced lightweight bre cement composite technology, making it easier to cut and gun nail. Scyon Secura Interior Flooring is a 19mm thick structural tongue and groove ooring which is an alternative to timber, particle board or plywood ooring. Its lighter than traditional James Hardie 18mm HardiePanel Compressed Sheet thus making it easier to handle and install. The 19mm thickness and tongue and groove joining means Scyon Secura Interior Flooring is compatible with other 19mm ooring products on the market and eliminates the need for timber blocking along the tongue and groove joint. The moisture-resistant sealer on all six sides combined with the high strength Scyon technology makes it suitable for use in wet and dry areas. Tiles and heavy grade vinyl linings can be directly xed to this substrate without the need for an underlay sheet.

Scope
This installation manual covers the use of Scyon Secura Interior Flooring in wet and dry areas of buildings within the scope of NZS 3604 or specic engineering design (SED) projects where the loading concentrations do not exceed those specied in NZS 3604 or mentioned in section 3.2.

2 Safe working practices


WARNING DO NOT BREATHE DUST AND CUT IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA
James Hardie products contain sand, a source of respirable crystalline silica which is considered by some international authorities to be a cause of cancer from some occupational sources. Breathing excessive amounts of respirable silica dust can also cause a disabling and potentially fatal lung disease called silicosis, and has been linked with other diseases. Some studies suggest smoking may increase these risks. During installation or handling: (1) work in outdoor areas with ample ventilation; (2) minimise dust when cutting by using a HardieBlade Saw Blade and dust-reducing circular saw attached to a HEPA vacuum; (3) warn others in the immediate area to avoid breathing dust; (4) wear a properly-tted, approved dust mask or respirator (e.g P1 or P2) in accordance with applicable government regulations and manufacturer instructions to further limit respirable silica exposures. During clean-up, use HEPA vacuums or wet cleanup methods never dry sweep. For further information, refer to our installation instructions and Safety Data Sheets available at www.jameshardie.co.nz.

James Hardie recommended safe working practices


CUTTING OUTDOORS 1. P  osition cutting station so that wind will blow dust away from user or others in working area. 2. U  se the following method to cut Scyon Secura Interior Flooring: BEST  Dust reducing circular saw equipped with HardieBlade Saw Blade and HEPA vacuum extraction. GOOD  Dust reducing circular saw with HardieBlade Saw Blade. SANDING/DRILLING/OTHER MACHINING When sanding, drilling or machining you should always wear a P1 or P2 dust mask and warn others in the immediate area. IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. For  maximum protection (lowest respirable dust production), James Hardie recommends always using Best - level cutting methods where feasible. 2.  NEVER use a power saw indoors 3. N  EVER use a circular saw blade that does not carry the HardieBlade logo 4.  NEVER dry sweep - Use wet suppression or HEPA Vacuum 5.  NEVER use grinders 6.  ALWAYS follow tool manufacturers safety recommendations P1 or P2 respirators can be used in conjunction with above cutting practices to further reduce dust exposures. Additional exposure information is available at www.jameshardie.co.nz to help you determine the most appropriate cutting method for your job requirements. If concern still exists about exposure levels or you do not comply with the above practices, you should always consult a qualied industrial hygienist or contact James Hardie for further information.

3 Design
Working instructions
Refer to recommended Safe Working Practices before starting any cutting or machining of product.

3.1 GENERAL
All construction must be carried out in accordance with the relevant building regulations and standards. Prior to installation of Scyon Secura Interior Flooring, ensure the supporting framing is suitable and is in accordance with this manual. A solvent free waterproong membrane must be applied over the Scyon Secura Interior Flooring in internal wet areas prior to the installation of tiles.

HardieBlade Saw Blade


The HardieBlade Saw Blade used with a dust-reducing saw and HEPA vacuum extraction allows for fast, clean cutting of Scyon Secura Interior Flooring. A dustreducing saw uses a dust deector or a dust collector connected to a vacuum system. When sawing, clamp a straight-edge to the sheet as a guide and run the saw base plate along the straight edge when making the cut.

3.2 LoADing ConsiDERAtion


Scyon Secura Interior Flooring in this manual has been designed to satisfy the requirements for wet and dry areas for buildings within the scope of NZS 3604, 'Timber Framed Buildings', NASH 3405 'An Alternative Solution for Steel Framed Buildings' and load specied under domestic and residential activities of Table 3.1, (Category A) of AS/NZS 1170.1 Structural Design Actions Permanent, Imposed and Other Actions.
Note: The Standard AS/NZS 1170 also species higher loads for areas in public buildings which are subject to crowd loading, storage of materials and heavy wheel loadings. For these applications James Hardie HardiePanel Compressed Sheet shall be used. Refer to Flooring Installation Manual. If in doubt, contact your builder, designer or engineer or Ask James Hardie 0800 808 868. Notes:  Scyon Secura Interior Flooring must NOT to be used on concrete slabs. To build up height of concrete, purpose-made concrete levelling compounds are more suitable For tiling of walls use James Hardie Villaboard Lining

Hole-Forming
For smooth clean cut circular holes: Mark the centre of the hole on the sheet. Pre-drill a pilot hole. Using the pilot hole as a guide, cut the hole to the appropriate diameter with a hole saw tted to a heavy duty electric drill. For irregular holes: Small rectangular or circular holes can be cut by drilling a series of small holes around the perimeter of the hole then tapping out the waste piece from the sheet face. Tap carefully to avoid damage to sheets, ensuring that the sheet edges are properly supported.

Storage and handling


To avoid damage, all James Hardie building products should be stored with edges and corners of the sheets protected from chipping. James Hardie building products must be installed in a dry state and protected from rain during transport and storage. The product must be laid at under cover on a smooth level surface clear of the ground to avoid exposure to water, moisture, etc.

3.3 FRAMING
3.3.1 Timber frame
Timber oor joists must either be in accordance with NZS 3604: Timber Framed Buildings or be specically designed as per NZS 3603 Timber Structure Standard considering the maximum loading specied in AS/NZS 1170 Structural Design Actions as explained above. Floor joists must be 45mm minimum wide. The joist spacing must not exceed those given in Table 3.
