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!!! 👊
Lovely job mate. So house wrap goes straight to wall. (No need to counter battern) got to do mine but thought you needed air gap behind house wrap as well?
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.
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.
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.
@johntob741 So, can I fix just horizontal 50x25 roofing batten and then vertical cladding directly on top? I'm about to order this cladding to finish my loft project dormer, just want to have things done right...
I wouldnt do that. You will need vertical battens no matter what. It's for airflow so moisture can evaporate upwards. Doing the cladding vertically means you would need horizontal battening too @@mindematt
OK thanks for reply. I suppose the key question is are bc happy with this? I can't find any info on manufacture instructions for this. Really don't want to counter battern if not needed?
I did and they said they are making a new deeper trim. Couldn’t give me a date. Definitely a fault with the standard end trim how it can’t cover 25mm 😫👎🏻 specially when you’re paying top money for the product!
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.
In this instance the house wrap was fixed directly to the house and trapped by the battens. Best thing to do is check with your building controller to understand what they want on your project.
Very educational! Quick question: does this cladding product (or any other cladding product) require installation on block/concrete, or can it be installed to a wood frame structure using the battens?
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.
Looks problematic to me, with the UK rains it could remain wet underneath the cladding forever, Good job the battens don't rot and it is onto block and not OSB,
I buy 1,400 sqf cladding in California, but the retailer doesn’t have a trims for around of windows doors and corners, They have only the cladding and the corners
This will leak like a sieve. The laps don't sit tight because of the clips... and with 7 months each year of the UK pouring rain... Oh my goodness! Looks good but a terrible system for water ingression!
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 👍
Should have been double batterned, and FYI, ear protectors work better over the ears!! Seems like that's two mistakes upto where I left watching!!!!!🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

😂😂😂 thanks for watching! I’m a big softy really!
Great video & explanations, lovely job 🫡
Awesome video and excellent notes and details.
Lovely work uncle! Loved seeing you at gokarting today ❤️
Likewise young man, likewise. And thanks btw 👊🏻💪🏼
Awesome video thanks for your help
You’re welcome 👍🏻
Really nice job 👍🏽
Thanks 😁👍🏻
This is an amazing job! Plus very well installed
Nice job
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Excellent work I love the finish. Easily maintained compared to wood.
It is 👍🏻💯

Very tidy job well done and thanks'
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.
if you have horizontal battens how is air circulating?
Do you have a video of an horizontal install?
We don’t in afraid
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.
With a matching fascia board 👍🏻
Is it safe to use on outdoor- exposed to direct sunlight and rainwater?
As you can see in the video, we're fitting it to the outside of an extension, it'll be in the rain, sun, snow everything.

@@mindematt Hi, It's a single batten for me from now on.
I wouldnt do that. You will need vertical battens no matter what. It's for airflow so moisture can evaporate upwards. Doing the cladding vertically means you would need horizontal battening too @@mindematt
OK thanks for reply. I suppose the key question is are bc happy with this? I can't find any info on manufacture instructions for this. Really don't want to counter battern if not needed?
Super useful, thanks! May I ask what the roof trim is? Looks 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks, not sure tbh, we didn’t do the roof
Very good presenter.
Many many thanks
How does the right side near the fence look like? Is it just Tyvek exposed, or bricks and no tyvek?
From memory it was face brick work 👍🏻
@@simonbowler1 thank you! Planning to do something similar myself and difficult to reach for cladding, hence the question. Thanks!
If sir David Attenborough met carpentry at an early life!
I’ll take that as a compliment. Thanks sir 👌🏼😁
@@simonbowler1 you should do. It was very well presented and great to watch.
Why isn't the weather barrier continued to the door frame?
Airflow thru the cavity formed between the cladding and the baggy membrane? Horizontal battens only? Are you sure you know what you’re doing?
Silly question but can you do cladding over a stone extension?
My best guess is yes, but I’ve never done it 👍🏻
|Why would you need the house wrap on top of cavity blockwork?
Possibly not necessary, but I’d there a reason not to put it on?
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?
If you contact Ecoscape directly they’ll be able to help 👍🏻
I did and they said they are making a new deeper trim. Couldn’t give me a date. Definitely a fault with the standard end trim how it can’t cover 25mm 😫👎🏻 specially when you’re paying top money for the product!

Totally agree. There is no continuous airflow. For timber you would need the vertical strapping. Perhaps this composite material does not need it.
Yes regs require double batton for air flow plus moisture can't travel down on tyvek because of horizontal batton
What tool are you using to cut the planks into thinner strips?
Hi what if the edge of the right hand side of the window reveal goes half way through a raised bit?
Ecoscape do a full range of trims and accessories, they would be best placed to advise you on that.
Does composite cladding move as much as composite decking I've heard some realy bad things about it
What did you do on the third side next to party wall, does it need to be clad aswell?
No in this instance it wasn’t
would horizontal batons trap any water against the home?
Yes it will
Very educational! Quick question: does this cladding product (or any other cladding product) require installation on block/concrete, or can it be installed to a wood frame structure using the battens?
Hello, what do you do about the gap with the concrete block showing between the bi-fold and corner trim?
Cheers
Looking swole. Bravo
Thank you!
Could I fit something like this over single skin blockwork? And if so, is there any way that I can externally insulate it first?
Is it also possible to screw it from the inside?
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.
Is the sold in California?
How come you didnt cross batten? I was under the impression moisture will be trapped in the voids without horizontal battening
Looks problematic to me, with the UK rains it could remain wet underneath the cladding forever, Good job the battens don't rot and it is onto block and not OSB,
Hi, do you know how to do a vertical joint? My wall is 5mtrs tall and the boards are 3.6mtrs, how should I join it?
If you get in touch with Ecoscape they will be able to help you. Their advisers are excellent
looks great.. too bad that this cladding compositie isn't allowed in my country due fireclass rating E :(
That's a shame as it's an amazing product.
Nice work, but sure wish you had covered the window install as well.

You may well be able to adapt one of the existing to profiles to suit 👍🏻
Are you auditioning for the new Hellboy movie?
