FAQs

Is this cladding suitable for high-moisture areas?

While durable, this is an MDF-based product. It should not be used in areas with direct water contact and requires proper ventilation.

Can I paint over the light grey finish?

Yes, if you wish to change the color, you can lightly sand the surface and apply a suitable exterior-grade paint system.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Standard carpentry tools such as a circular saw, spirit level, and power drill/driver are sufficient for installation.

How do I calculate how many boards I need?

Divide the total width of the wall by 0.194m (194mm) to determine the number of rows, then calculate the total length needed.

Is this product fire-rated?

Please consult local building regulations and technical datasheets for specific fire performance ratings related to your installation project.

What is the best way to secure these boards?

Use blind nailing through the tongue to hide the fixings, ensuring the nail head is flush with the wood surface.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty joining the tongue and groove

Check for debris in the groove and ensure the board is perfectly level before applying pressure.

Surface chipping during cutting

Use a fresh, sharp high-tooth-count saw blade and score the cut line with a utility knife first.

Board warping or bowing

Ensure the storage surface is perfectly flat and the boards are supported across their full length before installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fully finished surface saves installation time
  • Double tongue and groove system ensures alignment
  • Modern, neutral light grey color suits most exteriors
  • Long 4.88m boards reduce waste and joints

Cons

  • Requires careful storage to prevent moisture absorption
  • Heavy weight due to solid MDF construction
  • Not intended for areas with direct, standing water exposure

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your cladding, store the boards in a flat, dry, and climate-controlled environment before installation. When installing, use appropriate exterior-grade fixings that are compatible with MDF to prevent corrosion or staining. It is essential to ensure a ventilated air gap behind the boards to prevent moisture buildup. For cutting, use a fine-tooth blade to minimize chipping on the factory-finished edges. Periodically inspect the installation for any signs of physical damage or surface wear; if minor damage occurs, use a touch-up paint specifically matched to the light grey finish to prevent moisture ingress.
