From New Zealand history, Bevel Back weatherboards are one of the most traditional cladding types in the country, from the bungalows around 1990s, to 1940 -1960s houses, the buildings would typically have this cladding, while villas from the 1880s would be mostly clad in rusticated weatherboards.

Nowadays, Vertical Shiplap weatherboards are considered one of the most popular timber cladding profiles.

For exterior timber JSC always recommends the use of Band Sawn Face over dressed face finish. Band sawn face allows for far greater coating absorption and thus greater lifespan of the chosen coating. As dressed face timbers have the pores of the timber closed off in machining it makes it much harder for coating to penetrate the surface. Today’s bandsawn finishes are much finer than those of previous years and still provide a modern, high quality aesthetic to even the most discerning build.

Both JSC Scumble® and JSC Coda® Exterior Wood Oils are ideal for timber cladding applications.

JSC Scumble® provides a higher tint coverage while JSC Coda® showcases timber grain with a good penetration into the wood and non-film forming.
