How To Fit Composite Slatted Cladding to a concrete block extension.

We were tasked with fitting some Ecoscape Slatted Composite Cladding to a new concrete block extension on an older house that has undergone an extensive renovation. The end result is a super slick, neat modern contemporary feel that we very much like. #claddinginstallation #composite #cladding #renovation #homeextension

super detailed and informative video, plenty tricks and details to plan and look out for - thank you mate!!! "allowances for expansion & contraction also in mitres - WELL NOTED"... also, on a lighter note, looking at your size: Man, I would not like to be the client disputing your invoices... 😂 all-round - just brilliant!!! 👊

If sir David Attenborough met carpentry at an early life!

Lovely work uncle! Loved seeing you at gokarting today ❤️

This is an amazing job! Plus very well installed

Thanks for the detailed video. One thing I don't understand is how the boards joined together for a 2 story house. It seems like a gap is needed between the boards and it has to be covered in a manner not to direct water to the house.

Excellent work I love the finish. Easily maintained compared to wood.

I found that the gap between the cladding and the batten when installed would be enough to allow air circulation. Having installed vertical battens then horizontal battens before I realised this meant that I have done twice the work that was needed. The product itself is very good and I would use it again.

Very tidy job well done and thanks'

Nice work, i have a couple of questions if that's ok?
1. Do regs not require counter battening for vertical cladding to allow airflow?
2. Ho to you attach the house wrap to the block work prior to battening?
Thanks for the content, i'm going to ask for some samples of that cladding as it looks really nice.

Super useful, thanks! May I ask what the roof trim is? Looks 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[matthewhortop]

Great video, thank you. How did you complete the gap between the trim in the door reveal and the door frame? I could see the brick work so wondered how that was finished off.

Hi Simon, just had my sample pack arrive. New build project so lots of cladding! Might the detail around the windows worked better if you had started at the window/patio doors and worked outwards? Thank you.

Hello Simon, lovely work as always. Do they not supply some sort of trim detail at the bottom so it finishes neatly over the blockwork. Like some sort of Z piece, so the cladding sits over it and then it sits over the brick or block at the bottom, I think that would give you a nicer detail at the bottom, would you not agree.
Atb to you and mark 👍

Hello, what do you do about the gap with the concrete block showing between the bi-fold and corner trim?

Cheers

[liamleech]

What end trim have you used as the ones I received don’t cover the 25mm batton they sit on. Looks like you have a deeper end trim?

[cbdtribe]

Silly question but can you do cladding over a stone extension?

[linkdva]

Is it safe to use on outdoor- exposed to direct sunlight and rainwater?

[chrisbroad]

Could I fit something like this over single skin blockwork? And if so, is there any way that I can externally insulate it first?
