Hi Folks
I had a quick question regarding cladding to my workshop. I''m yet to start the workshop so still in the designing and working out stage but hopes are high that it'll get going this summer. Hoping at least!
I'm intending to clad vertically onto graded battens; counter battening onto vertical graded battens to ensure airflow between the cladding and the house wrap membrane. I would like to use shadow gap boards and wondered what the thoughts and opinions were on the two profiles I was looking at:
half lap rebate shadow gap
deep T&G shadow gap
Is there any real difference in performance of the two profiles in terms of stability and weather proofing? From the aesthetic point of view I'm happy with both profiles, personally the first one looks nice and basic and basic is good in my view. I'm just wanting to take some opinions on the constructional merits and perils (if any) from the knowledge others have on this.
Cheers
Andy
