Description

Linea™ Weatherboard Cavity Cladding is a cavity-based bevel-back fibre-cement weatherboard wall cladding. It is designed to be used as part of an external cladding system for residential and light commercial type buildings where domestic construction techniques are used.

Linea™ Weatherboard Cavity Cladding consists of Linea™ Weatherboard, which is a bevel-back fibre-cement weatherboard, fixed over timber battens to form the cavity. The cladding is finished with a latex paint system.
