Full details

The FloPlast 150mm Shiplap Cladding is ideal for homeowners and contractors seeking a durable, low-maintenance exterior wall finish for residential projects. Its primary benefit is providing a robust, weather-resistant facade that mimics traditional timber while eliminating the need for periodic painting or staining, though users must ensure strict compliance with local building regulations regarding fire safety and cavity barriers during the installation process.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these panels be used on buildings over 18m tall?

No, this product is specifically rated for buildings under 18m in height.

Does the cladding come with fixings?

The pack includes the cladding panels; fixings should be sourced separately based on the substrate you are attaching the panels to.

What is the fire classification of this product?

This product carries a D-s3, d2 fire classification.

Do I need to treat the panels with paint or sealant?

No, the anthracite grey finish is factory-applied and does not require any additional painting or sealing.

Is this product suitable for use in coastal areas?

Yes, its weather-resistant properties make it suitable for various environments, including coastal areas.

What should I do if the panels are dirty?

Simply wash with warm water and a mild non-abrasive detergent using a soft cloth or sponge.

Troubleshooting

Panel seems to bow or warp after installation

This is often due to insufficient ventilation or over-tightening fixings. Ensure the battens allow for airflow and that fixings are not driven flush into the plastic to allow for natural thermal movement.

Difficulty in aligning the overlap

Ensure the first panel is perfectly level. If the starter board is misaligned, the remaining boards in the run will continue the error.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the FloPlast Shiplap system, ensure the supporting wall is dry and sound. You will need to install a timber framework (battens) to allow for air circulation behind the panels. Always follow local building codes regarding fire-stopping and cavity barriers. For ongoing care, the cladding requires minimal maintenance; a simple wash down with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild detergent will remove dirt and debris, keeping the anthracite grey finish looking professional. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or pressure washers on high settings, as these may damage the protective surface finish.
