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.

About the
Seller
Rosenfeld Kidson & Co. Ltd is a specialist timber company stocking New Zealand’s largest range of over 50 species of specialist timbers, both imported and locally grown. These timbers are distributed to joiners, furniture manufacturers, cabinetmakers, boat builders, flooring contractors and the construction industry throughout the country, primarily via selected timber merchant resellers.
The company was incorporated in 1930 when John Kidson and Australian Julius Rosenfeld formed a partnership to import hardwood from Australia. New South Wales hardwoods were in demand during the depression years for wharf and bridge construction, as well as power reticulation.
For the next 65 years the company operated from The Strand in Parnell, Auckland, before moving in 1996 to new purpose built premises in Mt Wellington - an 11,000m2 site with 2000m2 drive-through warehouse and another 1000m2 of covered storage. The business also operates a second 2500m2 site in Auckland where its state of the art timber processing facility is located. It also has a second sales and warehouse facility in Hornby, Christchurch, which manages distribution to our South Island customers.
As Rosenfeld Kidson approaches 90 years in business, the company is in its fourth generation of ownership and operation. The success and longevity of the company has largely hinged on the efforts and experience of dedicated and loyal staff, who are able to provide our customers with a wealth of knowledge about the specialist timbers we sell.
