FAQs

Can I paint this cladding?

No, it is designed to be maintenance-free. Applying paint may cause the finish to peel or void the product performance expectations.

Does it require a special underlay?

While not strictly required, a breathable membrane between the wall and the batten framework is recommended to manage moisture.

How do I cut the boards?

The boards can be cut easily using standard woodworking tools, such as a fine-toothed handsaw or a power mitre saw.

Is this cladding fire-rated?

The product complies with relevant building regulations for PVC-U cladding, but always check local fire safety codes for your specific project type.

What is the best way to secure it?

Use plastic-headed stainless steel nails, which provide a discreet, color-matched fixing point that will not rust.

Troubleshooting

Board appearing warped or buckled

This is often due to a lack of thermal expansion gaps. Ensure boards are not fixed too tightly and allow for natural movement.

Dirt accumulation in the woodgrain embossing

Use a soft-bristled brush with a solution of warm water and mild dish soap to gently loosen trapped debris.

Joints showing gaps

Check that the supporting battens are perfectly level and that the boards were properly seated during the initial installation phase.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to rot and weathering
  • Requires virtually no ongoing maintenance
  • Easy to clean with soapy water
  • Long board length speeds up project timelines
  • Aesthetically replicates natural timber

Cons

  • Installation requires careful attention to thermal expansion gaps
  • Color cannot be changed once installed
  • PVC-U can be damaged by heavy mechanical impact

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For successful installation, ensure the underlying timber batten framework is level, secure, and ventilated to prevent moisture build-up. Always account for thermal expansion by leaving a small gap at the ends of boards where they meet trims. Secure the boards using stainless steel nails to prevent future corrosion marks. For ongoing care, simply wash down the cladding annually with mild detergent and a soft cloth or sponge; avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or solvent-based chemicals that could damage the embossed finish.
