Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam Embossed Weatherboard Cladding (FCF170EAG) is an ideal choice for homeowners and professional builders seeking a low-maintenance, aesthetically pleasing exterior wall finish in Anthracite Grey. This product excels at providing a modern, wood-grain textured look while remaining significantly lighter than traditional cement-based materials, making it easier to handle during installation. However, users should note that the board requires precise measurement during fitting to ensure the 170mm visible lap is maintained correctly across the facade.

FAQs

How much area does one board cover?

Each 5-meter length provides an effective coverage area of 0.85 square metres.

Can I paint the boards a different color?

It is not recommended to paint the cladding, as this may void the manufacturer's warranty and the smooth surface is not designed for paint adhesion.

Does the product come with a warranty?

Yes, it is covered by a 20-year manufacturer guarantee, subject to correct installation practices.

Is this product suitable for DIYers?

Yes, due to its lightweight nature, it is manageable for experienced DIYers, though professional installation is recommended for complex facades.

How do I clean the weatherboard?

Use a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild detergent. Avoid high-pressure washers or harsh abrasive chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Visible gaps between boards

Ensure the boards are fully engaged in the locking profile and have been acclimated to the outdoor temperature before installation.

Board warping or bowing

Check that the supporting timber framework is perfectly level and that there is sufficient airflow behind the boards.

Fixing points showing signs of rust

Immediately replace non-stainless fixings with high-quality stainless steel screws or nails.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by fixing the boards onto a secure timber framework, ensuring adequate ventilation behind the cladding to prevent moisture buildup. Use only approved stainless steel fixings to avoid corrosion stains. Compatibility with standard Freefoam cladding trims, such as internal/external corners and starter bars, is essential for a professional finish. To care for the cladding, simply wipe it down with a soft cloth and mild soapy water once a year to remove dust or environmental grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pressure washers, as these may damage the embossed surface texture.
