FAQs

How much area does one 5m board cover?

Each 5m board provides an effective coverage area of 0.85 square metres.

What is the guarantee period for the white weatherboard?

The white version of this cladding comes with a 20-year colour guarantee.

Can I paint the cladding a different color?

It is not recommended to paint the boards as this may void the manufacturer guarantee and affect the material's performance.

How heavy is each board?

Each 5m board weighs just over 3kg, making it very easy to maneuver.

Do I need special tools to cut the material?

No, standard high-quality hand tools or power tools used for PVC or wood are sufficient for cutting and fixing.

Troubleshooting

Board buckling after installation

Check that adequate thermal expansion gaps were left at the ends of the boards and at joints.

Surface dirt accumulation

Clean the area using a soft cloth and a mild soap solution; avoid solvents.

Difficult to align boards

Ensure the underlying timber framework is perfectly level and plumb before fixing the first board.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly lighter than cement board alternatives
  • Requires virtually no ongoing maintenance
  • Professional New England style aesthetic
  • Extensive 20-year guarantee on white boards
  • Simple to cut and install

Cons

  • Requires specific care regarding thermal expansion
  • Visible lap is smaller than total board width
  • Not suitable for load-bearing applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard carpentry tools such as a fine-toothed saw, measuring tape, and a drill. It is essential to leave adequate gaps for thermal expansion to prevent the boards from buckling during temperature changes. Boards should be fixed to a solid, ventilated timber framework. For care, simple cleaning with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth is sufficient to remove dirt or debris; avoid using abrasive chemicals or high-pressure power washers, which may damage the embossed surface.
