What is vertical wood cladding?
Vertical wood cladding is an exterior covering made of wooden boards fixed vertically to a building facade. It provides both weather protection and a modern look.
Suitable for both new builds and renovations, vertical cladding is valued for its elegance and its ability to fit different architectural styles.
Why install cladding vertically? What are the benefits?
Choosing vertical wood cladding offers several advantages:
- Better water run-off: vertical boards help rainwater drain away and improve the efficiency of the breather membrane, reducing the risk of water ingress and trapped moisture, and increasing the service life and insulation performance of the cladding.
- Taller visual effect: vertical boards emphasise the height of the building and add a contemporary, elegant line, ideal for modern houses and extensions.
- Easier maintenance: water and dirt are less likely to build up between the boards, which reduces maintenance. The wood's use class also contributes to easier upkeep.
Which types of cladding should be installed vertically?
Some types of cladding are specifically designed for vertical installation, including:
- Tongue-and-groove cladding: the boards are designed to fit together easily, ensuring a uniform finish and optimal protection against water ingress.
- Vertical lap cladding: it offers a textured surface and a traditional finish with a strong relief.
- Vertical open-joint cladding: very popular, it features regular gaps between boards for a designer, airy look.
Why is it better to install open-joint cladding vertically?
Open-joint cladding is generally recommended for vertical installation for several reasons:
- Optimal drainage: vertical boards help water run off and prevent moisture from building up between them.
- Better ventilation: air circulates more freely behind the boards, improving thermal regulation and the durability of the wood.
- Contemporary look: vertical installation enhances the modern, clean look of open-joint cladding while highlighting the building's architecture.
