FAQs

Are these boards suitable for bathroom walls?

Yes, their rot-resistant composite nature makes them suitable for internal applications, including bathrooms, provided they are correctly installed with a moisture-resistant sub-frame.

Can I paint the boards?

The boards are designed to be maintenance-free with a permanent woodgrain finish. Painting is not recommended as the composite material is not porous, and paint may peel over time.

What type of screws should I use?

We recommend using high-quality stainless steel wood screws to ensure long-term corrosion resistance, especially for exterior installations.

Do I need to seal the cut ends?

While the boards are rot-resistant, sealing cut ends can improve the overall visual finish and prevent debris accumulation, though it is not strictly required for structural integrity.

How heavy is each board?

Each board is robustly built. While manageable for one person, it is recommended to have two people handle the 2.6-meter lengths during installation to avoid accidental damage.

Can these be installed directly onto brick?

It is highly recommended to install a batten sub-frame between the brick and the cladding to allow for proper airflow and to provide a secure anchoring point for the boards.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty achieving a flush joint

Ensure the sub-frame is perfectly level and square; adjust the underlying battens if necessary before screwing down the boards.

Surface marks or scuffs during installation

Use a soft cloth dampened with warm water to gently buff out minor surface scuffs; avoid abrasive scouring pads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to rot and decay
  • Maintenance-free finish requires no painting or staining
  • Simple to install with standard woodworking tools
  • Durable composite construction prevents splintering
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments

Cons

  • Individual boards are 2.6m long, requiring significant transport space
  • Composite material is heavier than some lightweight plastic alternatives
  • Limited to one specific woodgrain style
  • Requires careful planning for structural support framing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure your wall surface is dry and free of debris. If installing externally, it is recommended to build a treated timber or composite batten framework to allow for airflow behind the cladding.

  1. Planning: Measure the total square meterage of your wall to ensure the twenty-five boards provide sufficient coverage.
  2. Cutting: Use standard wood blades; ensure you wear appropriate eye protection.
  3. Fastening: Secure the boards to your sub-frame using stainless steel screws to prevent oxidation marks.
  4. Care: Maintenance is minimal. Periodic cleaning with a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water is sufficient to remove surface dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or pressure washers at high settings, as these can damage the composite surface texture.
