If your boards are installed horizontally, you should divide the height of the wall by the visible width of the board. This will give you the number of bardage composite boards you will require.

You should now multiply the width of your wall by the number of the boards and divide the number by the length of your cladding board. This will give you the number of boards you require for your project. You should always round up the total number of boards needed at all stages. If the width of the wall is less than 3.6m boards and you need to butt joints across the wall then you will have to order the calculated number of boards high.

Installing supports

You should fix either manticore plastic lumber battens or treated timber to the supporting structure or wall with widths between your battens no greater than six hundred millimeters. Install the first batten at 20mm minimum from the floor. For any wall edging, install battening such as windows and around doors. For vertical cladding, it is recommended to use cross battening that allows sufficient airflow. It is recommended that you use cross battening to ensure there is sufficient airflow. It is recommended you use timber battens with a top edge of 15 degrees to shed water into the cavity. 

Installation steps

Pre-drill screw holes in your board and ensure they are 2mm wider than the screw threads used. Put the bottom cladding boards in the right position and fix the batten through the drilled holes. Put the cladding board in place once secure and repeat for the rest of the boards.
