    I do t like this cladding, I use Eurocell much nicer and neater, you don’t have any screws showing, you simply screw the corners on first, then slide the cladding in behind both corners, looks so much more professional and far more stream line, my clients wouldn’t have screws showing colour coded or not 😂🤷‍♂️

    Hi Guys, much detailled vid!
    Do you use stainless stell brads for attatching the battens? And should there not be a little spacing between the battens (even for the vertical ones) so the wood wont sufficate?

    • @homeimprovements

      Battons you can but I don’t bother and standard nails are fine as it shouldn’t see any moister 😊😊

    That’s a fair size cabin.. does this adhere to the less then 1 metre ruling?
    I.e non combustible..

    • @homeimprovements
      @homeimprovements  Місяць тому

      The cladding helps with the non combustible plus no more than 2.5m 😁

    how does the vertical ventilation work after sealing the topmost cladding piece? where does the air go?

    • @homeimprovements
      @homeimprovements  11 місяців тому

      Up into the soffit that’s also vented on the ends 😊

    • @Dontmindme__
      @Dontmindme__ 8 місяців тому

      It can’t flow into the soffit as that’s sealed? Been told composite doesn’t need a gap at the top but a lot of manufacturers say to leave one. See these boys blocking the gap, who knows what’s right lol

    I would always screw the battens with stainless steel screws. Definitely not a nail gun.

      Is there any starter clips to stop the bottom piece flapping or is it solid once screwed? Cheers

    • @briancunningham1120
      @briancunningham1120 8 місяців тому

      Yes they should have Bug Screen at the top and at the bottom,
      Also a starter piece to hold the bottom of the first piece of siding,
      Also a drip edge needs to be attached at the bottom to shed any rain water etc. away from the building,
      The same applies above all windows and doors,
      The corner trim pieces should not be fastened on both sides
      only fasten one side, this will allow for expansion and contraction as you mentioned at the start of the vidio,
      There needs to be good quality cualking applied at the door frame, prior to the instalation of the corner trim pieces, this will provide a water proof protection in this area to combat rain blowing into this joint,
      Just a few items which the suppliers of this product should have mentioned to you guys, but this looks like a B & Q supplied product,
      Stay away from the big box stores fellas, your work is fine its the product and the suppliers we all must try to avoid, these kind of so called building yards are a Scurge , almost as bad as the on- line shopping 😀😂

    What precise tradesmen, I shouldn't watch these as I tend to critercise trades men and wonder why they aren't doing it like the video. Question if applying direct to block work do you use vapor barrier? What is the make of the cladding? And where are you from.....

    Guys an amazing video. You’ve inspired me to build my own garden office. I’m building right beside the boundary fence. I had planned on fully fabricating the wall closest before standing it up, but the more I watch you, I might just have to beg the neighbour to allow me to take the fence down. One question, do you know the colour of this cladding? Thanks for these phenomenal videos!
