Full details

This lightweight, 170mm-lap cladding offers a durable and low-maintenance alternative to heavy cement boards, providing a neat, professional finish to any exterior.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

How much area does a single board cover?

Each 5m length provides a visible lap of 170mm, resulting in a total coverage of 0.85 square metres.

Do I need to paint these boards?

No, the boards are pre-finished in Sand and are designed to retain their color without the need for painting or staining.

What is the warranty on the color?

The product includes a 10-year color guarantee against fading or discoloration.

Can I install these over an existing wall?

The boards should be installed over a ventilated timber batten framework for best performance and to prevent moisture build-up.

Are these boards heavy to work with?

At just over 3kg per 5m length, they are exceptionally lightweight and easy to handle compared to cement or timber alternatives.

How do I clean the embossed finish?

Use a soft brush or cloth with soapy water. Avoid abrasive sponges or power washers at high pressure.

Troubleshooting

Visible gaps between board joints

Ensure that the expansion gaps are accounted for correctly during installation according to the temperature conditions.

Surface dirt accumulation

Use a mild detergent mixed with warm water and a soft cloth to gently wipe the surface.

Difficulty in cutting boards

Use a fine-tooth saw or a power saw with a blade suitable for PVC materials for a clean, straight edge.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly lighter than traditional cement-based cladding
Easy to install due to the manageable weight and dimensions
Requires virtually no maintenance after installation
Includes a comprehensive 10-year color guarantee
Provides a modern twist on the classic New England aesthetic

Cons

Not suitable for structural load-bearing applications

The embossed finish requires careful alignment during installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard carpentry tools and should be fitted onto a ventilated timber batten sub-frame to ensure the longevity of the wall structure. Always ensure the boards are allowed to expand and contract naturally by using appropriate fixings as specified in the installation guide.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard cladding accessories and trims available within the Freefoam range.
Care: Routine care is minimal. Simply wash the boards down with soapy water and a soft cloth or brush once a year to remove dust, pollen, or environmental grime. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or sharp metal tools that could damage the embossed finish.
