Cladding
Our cladding material is built with the same durable composite material. It's aluminum skeleton offers a strong fastening point with the underling sheathing structure. Not only is it a rigorous waterproof defense against the outdoor elements it also offers a small R factor on the outside of the building. We make ship-lap jointed versions of the S3S HAZ218 / HAP218 for custom orders.
Ayagi 34mm louver material can be used as open-joint cladding that is becoming increasingly popular. A black Weather resistant barrier (WRB) offers the needed sealed waterproofing over the architecture; while louvers offers the cladding system.
Here we see a house that uses louvers in three situations. One for partial light and privacy over a windown. Two as a enclosing fence on a patio. And three in the entrance way, the material is added on top of a black WRB. And, as shown working with colors and lines provides a welcome break from the monototy found in some modern buildings.
Dimensional material
Cladding is best accomplished in the 20 mm and 34mm thick material. Take note to select S3S (Surfaced 3 sides) or S4S (Surfaced 4 sides) as several dimensions offer both finishes.
