About Pre-cladding products
If you’re looking to clad your home, be sure to remember to take the preparatory steps to ensure positive results overall. Pre-cladding works to create a barrier to protect structures against outside irritants like bad weather, mould and dust. Alongside other cladding types like brick cladding, composite cladding, timber cladding, stone cladding and facades, ArchiPro has the best quality pre-cladding sourced from only trusted suppliers in New Zealand. The range includes pre-cladding materials such as rigid air barriers and cavity battens for the wall build-up.
RAB boards
RAB boards provide an exceptional rigid air barrier that helps equalise air pressure within the external wall cavity.
Cavity battens
Cavity battens help with drainage and ventilation. They also allow the external cladding to fit optimally.
Wall underlays
To keep walls weathertight, wall underlays are crucial. Also known as building wraps, wall underlays are lightweight and absorbent. A building wrap can form part of the wall’s weather protection behind the cladding.
The advantages of high-quality pre-cladding
A great building has the ability to guide its occupants through whatever season, and choosing high-quality pre-cladding is the best way to achieve this result. The foundation of your home is one of the most important aspects of a safe, secure, and warm building. High quality pre-cladding helps prepare your home for external cladding in the best possible way. Choosing only high quality options before you start cladding results in a durable and weatherproof home, and will benefit you in the long term.
How to choose pre-cladding that is right for you
In New Zealand, pre-cladding is a vital step of the construction procedure and choosing the correct product requires some contemplation. Think about how much pre-cladding you may need to cover the whole exterior of your home by taking measurements. You’ll also want to figure out what you need regarding aesthetics, protection, insulation, durability, and cost. Having good pre-cladding is essential for all types of cladding.
