Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam Embossed Double Shiplap Cladding in Sand is an ideal solution for homeowners and contractors looking to upgrade their exterior aesthetic with a durable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber. Providing a classic coastal look, this PVC-U cladding delivers the rich texture of weathered wood while eliminating the need for periodic sanding, staining, or rot-prevention treatments; however, users should note that as a synthetic material, it cannot be refinished or painted like natural wood once installed.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I paint this cladding a different color?

No, this PVC-U product is designed with a permanent sand finish and is not suitable for painting.

Does it require special tools to cut?

You can cut the PVC boards using standard carpentry tools, such as a fine-toothed hand saw or an electric chop saw.

Is it fire-rated?

The product is designed to meet standard exterior building requirements, but please consult local building codes for specific fire-safety ratings required for your project.

How should I store the boards before installation?

Store boards flat in a dry, cool area away from direct sunlight to prevent heat buildup and potential warping before fixing.

Do I need a vapor barrier behind the cladding?

Yes, it is highly recommended to install a breather membrane behind the cladding to prevent moisture buildup within the wall structure.

Troubleshooting

Visible gaps appearing at joints

Check that thermal expansion gaps were left during installation; if the temperature dropped significantly, these gaps may appear wider than expected.

Surface dirt accumulation

Regularly clean the cladding with a soft cloth and soapy water to prevent grime from embedding into the embossed texture.

Boards seem loose

Verify that all stainless steel fixings were installed correctly into the batten system and that no boards have slipped from their interlocking joints.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to rot, moisture, and pests
  • Requires no painting or maintenance
  • Easy to install with fewer joints due to 5m lengths
  • Authentic rustic look with embossed grain
  • UV-stable for lasting color retention

Cons

  • Cannot be refinished or repainted
  • Requires proper thermal expansion planning during install
  • Less tactile warmth than genuine cedar or wood

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation involves securing the cladding onto a suitable timber batten framework, ensuring that a breather membrane is used if the building requires additional moisture management. Because PVC-U expands and contracts with temperature fluctuations, it is crucial to use the recommended fixings and allow for correct spacing at joints to prevent buckling. For maintenance, a simple wash down with a soft brush and mild soapy water is sufficient to remove surface dirt and keep the sand color looking fresh. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive pads that could damage the embossed finish.
