Shiplap and Vee Joint Cladding Profiles
Rather than being simply square-profiled, our full range of shiplap claddings are machined with a light easing on all corners which affords them a slightly softer appearance and contributes significantly to the adhesion of coating materials. This is particularly important for products exposed to external weather conditions.
You have the choice of three shiplap profiles (all 18 mm thick with 78, 127 or 176 mm cover) with differing central channels: 6 mm, 12 mm (standard internal), and 18 mm (standard external). Subject to availability of feedstock 15 mm product may also be available.
In our Vee joint range you may choose between the 78, 127 or 176 mm cover profiles, all 18 mm thick, with characteristic centre Vs at 45 degrees off a 1 mm shoulder. For some projects, the 16 mm thick saw-textured Vee Joint offers an ideal cladding effect.
Eased Edge, Rusticated, Gate Facing and Custom Profiles
In addition to Shiplap and Vee joint machined softwood cladding profiles, we also offer Eased Edge, Rusticated and Gate Facing cladding in a variety of styles and sizes to suit your project.
Our Eased Edge profiles are all 18 mm thick with 78 or 127 mm covers and 6 mm, 12 mm or 18 mm centre channels as well as in a 16 mm thick saw-textured Eased Edge profile. Rusticated Profiles offer 127 mm coverage and are 18 mm wide. Gate Facing profile is 17 mm thick with 89 mm cover.
Beyond our standard range of stock profiles, customised detailing can readily be accommodated, and this flexibility allows us to offer designers an opportunity to tailor-design their claddings to suit the individuality of their buildings.
Fixing
Softwood tongue and groove cladding is highly versatile and can be installed horizontally, vertically or diagonally to create a variety of different effects. In horizontal and diagonal applications, we recommend starting from the bottom and working your way up with the groove edges facing downwards.
If yours is a vertical application, start at one corner with the grooved edge toward the adjacent wall. Use a level or plumb line to ensure that the first board is installed plumb. The grooved edge of the first board may have to be trimmed to ensure a flush fit. Cladding is nailed to horizontal noggins or battens at 600 mm maximum centres.
