What is Splayed Cladding?
Splayed cladding, otherwise known as rain screen cladding consists of rhomboid shaped boards equally spaced apart to form a decorative façade. Unlike most other types of cladding, splayed boards are not interlocked or connected, which means that the resulting facade is not waterproof. For this reason, splayed cladding should only be used in front of watertight surfaces.
All dry timber species can be machined to the splayed profile. The most popular choices are British sweet chestnut and British oak.

How to fix
Face fix only. Two fixings per board / batten
Begin at the bottom, ensuring that the first board is level. Orientate the board so that the uppermost edge is sloping down and away from the building. At each batten use two fixings, each located towards the outer edge of the board. Subsequent boards can be spaced 5 – 10mm apart, depending on the desired appearance. It is important to ensure that any building paper or insulation will not be visible through the gap at eye level.
