FAQs

Can this cladding be used in bathrooms?

This product is primarily for interior use. If used in high-humidity areas, it must be thoroughly sealed with high-quality moisture-resistant paint.

Do I need to prime this before painting?

No, the product comes grey primed and is ready for a topcoat of your preferred paint.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a saw for cutting to length, a level, a hammer or pneumatic nailer, and wood adhesive.

Is the 4.88-meter length standard?

Yes, this length is optimized for standard room heights and long wall runs, though it does require professional transport.

Can I install this directly onto brickwork?

It is recommended to install a framework of wooden battens onto the brickwork first to provide a level surface and a point of attachment for the cladding.

How do I calculate how many boards I need?

Divide the total width of your wall by 0.194 meters and add 10% to account for cuts and wastage.

Troubleshooting

Board is difficult to insert into the groove

Check for debris or paint buildup in the groove. Gently clear the channel and ensure the board is held at the correct angle before engaging the tongue.

Visible gaps appearing after installation

This is often due to failure to acclimatize the wood. Ensure future boards are stored in the room for 48 hours prior to installation to account for moisture and temperature changes.

Board is slightly bowed

Use a clamp to pull the board into alignment against the previous board while fixing it to the support batten.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficient installation due to the wide 194mm board profile
  • Pre-primed surface reduces total preparation time for painting
  • Strong interlocking design creates a secure and stable finish
  • Professional grade material suitable for residential or commercial use

Cons

  • Large 4.88-meter length may be difficult to transport in standard passenger vehicles
  • Requires careful storage to prevent bowing or warping before installation
  • The grey primer is a base coat and requires a finish topcoat to achieve the final desired aesthetic

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure the product is stored in a clean, dry environment, lying flat to prevent bowing. Allow the boards to acclimatize to the room temperature for 24-48 hours before fitting.

  1. Measure the area and calculate the number of boards required based on the 194mm width.
  2. Ensure the supporting structure (studs or battens) is level.
  3. Begin from one corner, ensuring the first board is plumb.
  4. Use concealed pins or high-quality wood adhesive within the tongue profile to fix the boards securely.
  5. Once installed, lightly sand the primed surface if necessary and apply your chosen topcoat paint.

For cleaning, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. If minor scuffs occur, they can be easily touched up with a small amount of matching paint.
