How-To Guide: Installing Edge Boards For Cladding
Share
Installing cladding by yourself can be daunting, so EnviroBuild have put together a series of how-to videos to keep things simple. With our top-tips and video tutorials, you can ensure both a quality finish and a swift installation. A detailed installation and maintenance guide for our cladding can be found on our website's resource centre.
Hyperion Edge Boards can be used to create a flush finish for corners, doors and window frames. We recommend using our hidden fasteners for installation so that there are no visible surface screws.
Our cladding can be used in a variety of locations and come in a stylish range of colour options, including natural browns with Oak and Walnut as well as more modern greys in Granite and Stone. Hyperion Pioneer products will naturally lighten over the first 8-10 weeks before stabilising as a result of any exposure to sunlight, as well as the natural tannins (oils) in the wood content leaching from the boards when they get wet. Due to their plastic content, there isn't any need to treat your cladding, making them easy to maintain and keep clean, with low risk of wet rot over a longer period of time. If you need more help with installation, EnviroBuild have an extensive network of reliable installers we'd happily recommend for your project. Get in contact with us and we'll put you in touch with an installer that can help bring your plans into reality.
Installation Tips:
- Edge Boards must be installed before cladding boards when used around corners, doors and windows.
- For this finish, make sure to double batten the area around the window frame or corners (ensure the battening finishes 21 mm away from the window edge).
- If you don't want visible screws, use our hidden starter fasteners to hold the board in place. Place them every 480 mm along the batten of the corner or windowsill.
