I had the google 'castellation' lol. You installing them horizontally or vertically? The issue I have with using them horizontally in my house is there will be a very conspicuous join due to the span and it's very unattractive (you can't butt join them). Looking at your facade, it looks like the max span of each area of the timber cladding is no more than 4 odd metres so you won't need to butt join them if you decide to install it horizontally.

If you read my post, I'm also installing them vertically and the reasons why. I'm impressed with the biowood. I spoke to the distributor and have a sample of the product. Re: Timber cladding 15Oct 22, 2017 6:37 am I've used red ironbark from Queensland on my place. It is laid horizontally - shiplap join. The timber cost around $150/sqm. The idea is to have minimal maintenance and as such it will not be treated and should be good for 50 years plus. It will go a soft grey in due course which is not a problem for me. Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity. 1 15909 Standard uninsulated double brick has an R value of around 0.7. An insulated standard 90mm stud timber frame can have an R value of around 2.7. Even if you insulate a… 17 12047 The spacing of the studs looks pretty large especially for a load bearing wall. 3 11117 |
