Enjoy the enduring beauty of Jayminton Cladding in the bush, by the beach or in full sun. Effortless to install and maintain,Jayminton Cladding is the ultimate in exterior cladding. The following installation guide outlines a range of installation techniques. If you require further assistance, please contact us.

Horizontal Applications

1. Apply Sarking or Building Wrap and Any Additional Battens or Noggins Required

When installing battens for a horizontal cladding facade, position the battens vertically with a spacing of 600mm between centres.

2. Cover Strip Setup

a) Install cladding accessories including End Cover Channels, 20×20 Angles, Joining Connectors, 20×20 Tee Sections and Internal or External Corners. When installing ensure all extrusions are fixed at maximum 600mm centres or as required for the applicable wind loads.

b) Measure and cut horizontal cladding accessories to length including Starter Strip and Cover Strip Base.

NOTCHING DETAIL FOR STARTER STRIP

Notching a starter strip is only necessary if the cladding is visible from the underside. Refer to the diagram below to notch the starter strip as illustrated, ensuring full coverage on the bottom face. 

NOTE: Areas highlighted red are to be notched.

3. Install First Board

Measure, cut and install first board by positioning lip over the starter strip and fix board using 30mm 10G screws as required for your application. To ensure that the board has the required movement, the fixings are required to be installed through the pre-punched slots. Failure to do so may result in excessive stress and failure of the fixing.

Cutting Tip

When cutting the boards to length, one method of ensuring that you have adequate coverage is to measure the distance available in the internal dimension of the End Cover Channel to the end of the cover at the other end and subtract 5mm. (See diagram)

Length of Board = x – 5mm

Length of Cover Strip = y – 2mm

4. Install Next Board and Repeat Until Final Board

Install the next board by positioning lip over the positioning leg on the previous board and fix board using 30mm 10G screws as required for the applicable wind loads. Ensure that the fixings are installed through the pre-punched slots.

TIP: After every 5th board, measure vertically from both ends of the cladding to ensure consistent length. Adjust the angle of the sixth board if needed for levelness, then proceed with fixing each subsequent board to maintain a level surface.

5. Rip and Install Final Board

The final cladding board might not be the right fit, so it needs to be ripped with a table saw. Measure the remaining space and cut the board accordingly for a proper fit.

6. Cut and Install Cover Strips

Measure horizontal Cover Strip Clip between the external face of the vertical members (see cutting tip in Step 3), cut to

length and snap in to fit.
