FAQs

Can I paint this weatherboard?

This product comes pre-finished in Sage Green. While it is possible to paint it, doing so is unnecessary and may void the aesthetic finish warranty.

How do I cut the boards to size?

Standard woodworking tools such as a fine-toothed hand saw or a circular saw with a plastic-cutting blade are recommended for clean cuts.

What is the primary material composition?

The cladding is made from high-quality, durable synthetic materials designed specifically to withstand external weathering without rotting.

Do I need to treat the edges after cutting?

While the core is durable, it is good practice to ensure cut ends are kept clean and dry, or lightly sealed if exposed directly to harsh water spray.

Is this cladding fire-rated?

The product meets standard building regulations for external cladding applications; check local building codes for specific regional requirements.

What is the recommended fixing method?

Use corrosion-resistant stainless steel nails or screws, ensuring they are driven flush to the surface without over-tightening.

Troubleshooting

Visible gaps between joints

Ensure that the thermal expansion allowance was correctly accounted for during installation, as the material naturally expands and contracts with temperature changes.

Staining on the surface

Wash the area gently with warm soapy water. Avoid using solvents or aggressive chemical cleaners which may strip the surface.

Board bowing or distortion

Check that the supporting battens are perfectly level and spaced according to the manufacturer's maximum span requirements.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to rot and decay
  • Sophisticated Sage Green colorway
  • Easy to clean with minimal effort
  • Long 5-meter lengths reduce joint frequency
  • Excellent durability against external weathering

Cons

  • Requires specialized tools for cutting
  • Strict installation spacing guidelines must be followed
  • Limited color availability
  • Requires specific substrate preparation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed on a clean, ventilated, and structurally sound substrate. It is essential to include a breather membrane between the cladding and the wall to prevent condensation buildup. Use stainless steel fixings to prevent corrosion staining on the Sage Green finish. For maintenance, the cladding only requires a periodic wash with mild soapy water and a soft cloth to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using high-pressure washers or abrasive cleaning agents, as these may damage the factory finish.
