Product Description
Cladding fixing positions
How you fix your cladding depends on the style of board but there are standard guidelines you should adhere to:
- Use double battens to support abutting boards. Batten should extend the full width of the boards either side.
- Pre-drill fixing points at board ends to prevent splitting.
- For boards 100mm and wider, use two fixings per board at every batten.
- On boards under 100mm in width, use one centrally placed fixing.
- Fixings (nails and screws) should be 2.5 times the thickness of the board.
- Use two fixing points per board where they cross a support batten.
- Where boards abut, use a second batten to provide adequate support.
- Position fixing 25% in from each side and a minimum of 20mm in at board ends and pre-drill to avoid splitting where necessary.
- Where the board on board style is used, the fixing used to install the top board must never pass through the underside board. This is because any movement in the top and bottom boards caused by seasonal moisture changes and expansion and contraction will result in splitting.
