Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam Embossed Double Shiplap Cladding (FCD333EW) is an ideal choice for homeowners and contractors seeking a durable, long-lasting alternative to traditional timber exterior cladding. This PVC-U product provides a classic rustic aesthetic with the significant benefit of requiring virtually zero maintenance, as it will not rot, warp, or necessitate repainting over time. While it offers exceptional longevity and easy installation, users should note that as a synthetic material, it cannot be sanded or stained like natural wood if the surface finish is eventually damaged.

FAQs

Does the white finish yellow over time?

Freefoam PVC-U is designed to be highly color-stable and resistant to UV degradation, maintaining its finish far longer than painted timber.

Can I install this cladding directly onto a brick wall?

No, you must first install a treated timber batten framework to provide ventilation and a secure surface for the cladding.

What tools are required for cutting the boards?

Standard fine-tooth wood saws are sufficient for cutting the PVC-U boards to length.

How do I secure the boards to the wall?

Use stainless steel or color-matched plastic-headed nails driven into the designated fixing flange of the shiplap profile.

Is the cladding fire resistant?

The product is manufactured to comply with relevant building regulations regarding fire safety for external claddings.

Can this be used on a curved wall?

No, this product is designed for flat surfaces and should not be bent to follow curves.

Troubleshooting

Board appears to be bowing or expanding significantly

Ensure that fixings allow for slight thermal expansion and that the boards are not fastened too tightly to the framework.

Surface dirt accumulation in the embossed texture

Use a soft-bristled brush with warm, soapy water to gently agitate the dirt out of the grain without scratching the surface.

Difficulty in achieving a seamless corner joint

Ensure you are using the correct dedicated corner profiles and trims provided by the manufacturer to hide end-cuts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to rot, warping, and swelling
  • Requires no painting or staining to maintain appearance
  • Long 5-meter boards reduce installation time and visible joints
  • Attractive embossed texture mimics natural wood grain
  • High-quality, durable PVC-U construction

Cons

  • Synthetic material cannot be sanded or refinished
  • Limited color flexibility compared to wood
  • Requires specific trimming components for a professional finish
  • Not suitable for structural load-bearing applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed using standard woodworking tools, though care must be taken to allow for thermal expansion of the PVC-U material. Always ensure the supporting framework is level and properly spaced to provide adequate backing for the boards. When fastening, use high-quality, corrosion-resistant fixings recommended for PVC cladding. For cleaning, the cladding is exceptionally low-maintenance; a simple wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is sufficient to remove surface dirt and maintain the original white finish. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or solvent-based chemicals that could damage the embossed surface texture.
