Tongue and Groove Cladding
What is Tongue and Groove Cladding?
Tongue and Groove is a machined cladding profile supplied with a smooth finish and an interlocking edge detail to create a waterproof façade. This style of cladding board creates a clean linear appearance that is ideal for contemporary new-builds and modern extensions to older properties.
The main benefit of selecting a tongue and groove profile rather than a halflap, is the ability to hide the fixings through the tongue.

How to fix
VTG1, VTG2 – face fix only. One per fixing board / batten.
VTG3, VTG4A, VTG5A, VTG6 – Hidden nail or face fix. One per fixing board / batten.
A gap of 2mm should be left between each board.
Horizontal attachment
Begin at the bottom, ensuring that the first board is level. Orientate the board so that tongue edge is facing upwards. Use a spacer to create a 2mm expansion gap between boards. Fix each board with a single nail at each batten point. Join consecutive board ends over a batten. VTG1 and VTG2 are designed to be nailed through the face of the board. VTG3 and VTG6 can be nailed through the face or diagonally through the tongue to create a hidden fixing.
Vertical attachment
Begin at one corner, with the tongue facing away, ensuring that the first board is vertical. Nail as with the horizontal attachment.

400 – 600mm.
Nail type
50mm Stainless steel ring shank nail for face fixing.
