FAQs

How do I clean my IRO Timber cladding?

The surface is self-cleaning. If necessary, simply rinse with a low-pressure garden hose; avoid scrubbing or high-pressure washers.

Is this cladding safe for residential use?

Yes, it is VOC-free and eco-friendly, making it safe for both residential and commercial building exteriors.

Can I paint over the IRO finish?

It is not recommended, as the unique wood cream finish is designed to provide water-repellency and specific aesthetic properties.

How should I store the boards before installation?

Store them in a cool, dry place, keeping them off the ground and covered to prevent moisture absorption.

Are these boards suitable for coastal areas?

The high-pressure treatment and UV stability provide good durability, but ensure you use high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel fixings.

Troubleshooting

Visible surface scratches during installation

Use soft-faced mallets and non-abrasive tools; touch up minor finish issues with matching charcoal wood cream.

Water pooling on the surface

Verify that the cladding is installed with the correct drainage gaps to prevent moisture entrapment.

Color variation between boards

As a natural timber product, some variation is normal; mix boards from different packs during installation to achieve an even blend.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent water-repellent properties reduce maintenance needs
  • Self-cleaning surface helps maintain appearance over time
  • Environmentally conscious with a VOC-free manufacturing process
  • Provides a unique, modern glossy finish suitable for diverse architectural styles

Cons

  • Requires careful installation to protect the heat-treated surface
  • Limited to specific board dimensions
  • As a natural wood product, it requires regular inspection for structural integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by qualified professionals to ensure the integrity of the heat-treated finish. When handling, avoid dragging boards across abrasive surfaces to prevent scratching the wood cream layer. It is recommended to use stainless steel fixings to prevent corrosion-related staining on the timber surface. For care, avoid using pressure washers or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the protective wood cream; a simple rinse with fresh water is typically sufficient for seasonal cleaning. If the boards are cut during installation, ensure all raw, exposed ends are properly sealed with a compatible wood preservative to maintain the water-repellent performance.
