Practical Cladding Assesment

Install Sisolation
The first thing we will have to do is to put our sisolation on the walls we need to clad. Making sure our laps are correct and will maximise weatherproofing.
Tools- knife, clouts

Install Flashings
After our sisolation is on, we will need to install our flashings down the external and internal coners of our walls.
Tools tin snips, clouts

Install corner moulds
After our Flashing are installed, we can put our corner moulds in place, running vertically from 50mm below the bottom of the plate and hard up to the top of the wall. The internal mould should be around 30 x 30mm and the external somewhere around 45 x 45mm with a 12x 12mm rebate out of one corner so that it can fit around the corner of the wall.
Tools- drop saw, router, bench saw, nails/ screws.

Install weatherboards
After the corner moulds are in place, we will then be able to start cladding. starting by putting a fillet along the bottom so that the bottom board kicks out like the rest of the boards, we can start cladding from the bottom up. making sure the boards are level and fit nice and tight we can nail them off just above where the board below would be. We will need to watch for our 25mm lap, to ensure that it stays consistant.
