designAclad* is an innovative ship-lap, tongue and groove Cladding System for both interior and exterior applications.  
Available in 4 cover widths; 55, 80, 105 & 130mm, with a choice of a sawn face (23mm thick & 36mm thick for designAclad batten) 
and a dressed face (20mm thick & 33mm thick for designAclad batten), which gives endless design freedom.

Different board widths & thicknesses, sawn and dressed faces, can be combined to produce banding, random textures, and individuality in both vertical and horizontal applications.

A dressed face reveals Cypress' rich colour and distinctive dark knots, whilst a sawn face gives a more uniform colouring with the knots tending to fade into the background.
Being kiln dried, designAclad incorporates a tongue and groove profile to lock the boards together in the wall, giving greater long term stability.

All designAclad is end-matched, which reduces wastage and installation time; gives precise joints and allows staggered joins at any location within the wall, in both vertical and horizontal applications.

A sawn face board will generally 'key' an applied finish and is less prone to surface checking than a dressed face board, leading to an increased service life for the cladding and finish.

We also have available other products produced from Cypress, to compliment designAclad.
