Troubleshooting

Visible gaps between panels

Check that the tongue-and-groove joints are fully seated and that the support battens are perfectly level.

Surface marks or scuffs

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild detergent; avoid abrasive materials that can damage the printed wood-grain finish.

Panel bowing after installation

Ensure that the substrate battens are correctly spaced and that fixings allow for slight thermal movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-fidelity aesthetic that mimics real wood
  • Highly resistant to impact and weathering
  • Requires virtually no maintenance
  • Flexible installation supports both vertical and horizontal layouts
  • Fully recyclable and environmentally conscious manufacturing

  • Sold in packs of two, necessitating precise project calculations

  • Limited color range compared to natural timber options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Successful installation requires a sound, dry substrate. Ensure that the support battens are spaced according to the manufacturer's recommendations to prevent bowing. Because the panels are made of rigid foam, ensure proper cutting tools are used to maintain clean edges during installation. Regarding compatibility, the system works well with standard exterior building materials but should be installed using approved corrosion-resistant fixings to avoid staining the cladding. Care is straightforward: periodic cleaning with a soft brush and mild soapy water is generally sufficient to remove dust and environmental grime. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can compromise the digitally printed surface finish.
