Hi All,
I'm just starting a project of remodelling our house, which includes lifting the roof and adding a second story.
My intention is to clad the first floor with Siberian larch vertical 44mm x 44mm battens similar to the attached.
To test the idea out I will use it on some outbuildings, However I'm finding it very hard to find details in the technique.
The outbuildings are brick so I will not use UV membrane, ( i will on the house).
I will use chamfered horizontal battens attached to the wall with masonry screws, for the houses I will use thin vertical battens, then chamfered horizontal battens.
Then the vertical cladding battens will be fixed via cladding screws to the horizontal battens.
All the information I'm finding on line is mainly standard closed joint cladding and does not seem appropriate, i.e. use mesh to stop vermin or details around openings.
Can anyone point me to any appropriate information.
Thanks
Gary
