Shadow Gap Cladding - 182mm X 5mtr - Storm Grey

No. The cladding comes with a finished, durable surface that is not designed to be painted. Painting may cause the surface to flake and will void the product finish.

The recommended maximum distance between support battens is 400mm to ensure the board remains rigid and properly supported.

Yes. Its rigid foam and durable synthetic surface are highly resistant to salt spray and high humidity, making it excellent for coastal properties.

Standard woodworking tools, such as a fine-toothed hand saw or a circular saw with a plastic-cutting blade, are sufficient for cutting the boards to size.

No. You must install a batten sub-frame to create a ventilated cavity behind the cladding. Direct attachment will cause moisture buildup and potential structural damage.

This is often caused by fixing screws too tightly. Ensure screws allow the board to expand and contract naturally within the flange.

Check that the sub-frame battens are perfectly plumb and level. If the framework is uneven, the boards will follow the contour, causing misalignment.

Ensure the ventilation gap is not blocked at the top and bottom of the wall elevation. Adequate airflow is critical for the long-term health of the substrate.
