Frequently Asked Questions

Are Waney Edge Boards a cost-effective natural cladding material

Made from pressure-treated softwood, waney edge boards offer a rustic and natural look, making them an affordable choice for cladding sheds, porches, gazebos, and other outdoor structures.

How is timber cladding attached to a building or structure?

For timber cladding, such as shiplap, tongue and groove, and waney edge boards, nails or screws are commonly used to attach the boards to the underlying framework or battens. The nails or screws are driven through the cladding boards into the wooden framework, providing a secure attachment.

How do I properly care for and maintain Waney Edge Boards?

Softwood cladding products require regular maintenance to ensure their durability. Inspect the cladding for signs of decay or damage. Clean the surface and reapply an appropriate wood preservative or stain every few years to protect the timber from moisture and extend its lifespan.

In addition to these product-specific maintenance tips, it is essential to check for any signs of water infiltration or dampness behind the cladding. Proper ventilation and a breathable membrane will help prevent moisture buildup and ensure the long-term stability of the cladding.
