Bamboo X-treme Cladding

Bamboo x-treme cladding boards are 1850mm long, with end-matching tongue-in-groove join. The boards are 137mm wide, but with the profiled overlap the visible face is 128mm (once clipped together and installed), with a small gap provided between the boards for air-flow.

• The cladding is 18mm thick.
• There are 5 boards = 9.25LM per box. A box weighs 27kg.
• Supplied with powder-coated stainless steel clip and screw fixings – for “invisible” fastening.

Fire Safety

Contrary to many other wood products, bamboo X-treme cladding reaches a fire safety class B-S1-d0 (EN 13501-1) and Class A (ASTM E84). This makes it suitable for commercial buildings, apartments and housing while giving a beautiful natural appearance.

The cladding reaches this exceptional fire safety rating without impregnation of eco-damaging and expensive fire retardants. Therefore, the cladding is safe for the environment and for the installers. Sustainable, safe and beautiful!!

Bamboo X-treme cladding comes with powder-coated stainless-steel clip and screw fixings, which makes installation easier and provides a smarter finished look.

The clips are simply screwed onto battens and the cladding boards clip together with the boards only requiring to be cut at the end of a row (as the ends snugly fit together). See our installation instructions for more information. After installation, the cladding does not require any regular maintenance (unless a darker colour is desired), which can save on time and cost. Due to the “thermo-density” heat treatment process, the cladding is a mid-dark brown colour, but this will gradually change to a silver-grey colour over time as it naturally weathers.

Unlike our bamboo X-treme decking product (which has been pre-oiled as part of the manufacturing process) the cladding boards come unfinished but can be oiled if preferred, depending on the look and feel that is desired.
