Board & Batten Cedar Weatherboards

Board and batten is a traditional vertical cladding system used extensively over the years on both residential homes and commercial buildings.  Board and Batten is enjoying a revival, particularly apparent in the South Island, as architects there draw on an established traditional aesthetic that suits the large scaled and demanding landscape the buildings find themselves in. 

180mm wide boards laid directly over framing with an 8mm gap, which is then sealed with a batten, produces a robust cladding with a high risk matrix rating that can deal with harsh weather conditions.

With a choice of dressed face or bandsawn face and a range of wood oil coating options, the colour and finish can be manipulated to suit most tastes and to respond to whatever environment the building may be found.

Cedarscreen Board and Batten is a compliant direct fixed wall cladding material with fixing methods in accordance with Acceptable Solution E2/AS1.  This Rosenfeld Kidson system is also CodeMark certified, which independently verifies compliance with all relevant performance and durability requirements of the Building Code.
