Larch cladding Entry posted by Thedreamer August 5, 2018 3146 views Share More sharing options... Followers 1 Cladding now installed on the utility and porch. Unfortunately, the rest of the cladding will need to wait until the start of the block work starts in a month or so. I have also been busy nailing away and fixing what felt like a million truss clips. 3
Redoctober 410 Posted August 5, 2018 Lovely larch cladding - great to see the same corner detailing as to what is on our car port. Somewhat re-assuring that it is a good job well done. 1 Link to comment

Thanks, when the joiner was fixing it, I did wonder what was going to happen at the corner as the T&G was exposed, but he cut a strip from the larch and I'm really pleased with it. Link to comment
Square Feet 58 Posted August 11, 2018 I thought cladding went vertically in Scotland and horizontally in England....or have I got that the wrong way round....? Looks nice though! Link to comment
Redoctober 410 Posted August 11, 2018 Interesting.... ours is horizontal - and we are in the Scottish Borders. Link to comment

Looks nice though! Thanks, our supplier couldn't promise the longer lengths required for the gable end which will be partly clad and because I didn't want a joint in wood, decided to go horizontal instead.

laurenco 21 Posted February 27, 2019 Hi @Thedreamer Can I ask whether you put battens / render board /CP board behind the cladding to provide a cavity and a waterproof later? If not, how are you waterproofing this section of the build? Link to comment
Thedreamer 705 Posted February 27, 2019 Hi @laurenco Sorry didn't catch a photo before the cladding went on. Yes behind the cladding is the breather membrane, with battens attached to the studs this creates the ventilation gap. Are you just about to clad with timber? Link to comment

Our render guy is talking about CP / render boarding behind the cedar to make it weathertight, but if we can board straight to the batten, this will save a job. Is the breather membrane just the foil protector that comes wrapped around the TF? Link to comment
Thedreamer 705 Posted February 28, 2019 @laurenco The membrane itself makes the building watertight, however you are always going to get some water ingress if you have driving rain particularly at weak points such as studs. The cladding provides the first layer of defence and the membrane then just acts as a secondary barrier. I don't really know enough to make a comment about how the render board works with cladding. Our house will be rendered as well, but I decided on certain elevations where we are blasted with weather we have build a single course of dense concrete block which will have a render added on top. 1 Link to comment
