Based in Wigan, Lancashire, wholesalers MJ Building Plastics stock a range of cellular PVC shiplap cladding and open vee cladding in white and foiled colours such as black, light oak, mahogany and rosewood along with starter trims and joints.

Cladding Fitting Tips

Cladding should be fixed to treated timber battens at least 38mm x 19mm. The recommended dimensions are 38mm x 25mm.
Battens should be fixed vertically at a maximum of 600mm centres.
Where installations are above two storeys, fixing centres should be reduced to 400mm.
A minimum 19mm clear ventilated air space should be provided behind the cladding. Strips ventilators can be provided and will protect against insect ingress.
A starter trim should be fixed at the base of the cladding. Fixings should not exceed 600mm centres.
Cladding should be fixed with 30mm x 2mm stainless steel annular ring shank nails using the fixing groove provided.
In exposed locations or where the substrate is not weatherproof, a breather membrane should be fitted. A minimum 19mm air gap must be maintained.
A 4mm expansion gap must be provided at all board ends.
Where joint covers are used, they should be staggered, not installed vertically above each other.
