Horizontal Bevel Back

The technical drawings are exactly the same on both sets. The main difference between them lies in their layout and purpose:

• A3/A1 Architectural Drawings:

These drawings group similar details together on larger A1 or A3 pages. They are designed to make it easier for architects, designers and specifiers to access and reference grouped details. For instance, all window details, meter box details, and corner details might be presented together on a single A1 or A3 page.

• A4 Site Drawings:

Each detail is presented on individual A4 pages. These drawings are specifically tailored for builders on-site. The larger scale of each detail on its own A4 page makes it easier to read and distribute the drawings at the construction site.

• TMT Taiga has rich warm brown tones and “butterfly knots” showing up at regular intervals that give cladding and interiors a completely unique personality.
• TMT Taxon has a soft, even-grained appearance with minimal knots and a variation of deeper chocolate tones.
• TMT Tuscan is a clearer grade option with a mostly uniform tone, with some tonal variation between boards. It is lighter than TMT Taxon but darker than TMT Amba
• While TMT Amba is the lighter, clearer grade option with a similar light uniform golden brown tone to TMT Taiga but without the knots.

Yes, like any other timber, the thermally modified timber cladding has to be sealed on all four sides before installation.

Yes, JSC are happy to provide samples of the species, profile, and even wood oil colours to ensure you get the desired outcome for your build. Send us an email with your request or pop into one of our branches to discuss your requirements!

Yes, JSC has years of experience when it comes to custom and architectural profiles to suit a range of styles and designs. There can be limitations based on things like quantity and weatherproofing considerations so talk to our technical team to discuss options!

Yes, this generally requires a custom weatherboard profile. JSC are specialists when it comes to curved weatherboard solutions so contact our team today to discuss your options.

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.

Pencil marks can prove difficult to remove on some coatings, always start with the lightest cleaning method, a light detergent and a stiff brush (like a fingernail brush) and brush in the direction of the grain. Using an eraser may help but can risk making a smooth spot on the board. If this occurs on bandsawn face timbers then a stainless steel wire brush can help to roughen up the texture again before a second coat is applied.

Yes. We purchase timber from suppliers who have established a clear, verifiable track record in respect of environmental standards and conformance, including legality, sustainability and cultural awareness. This includes JSC being committed to implementing and maintaining the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) Chain of Custody requirements for certified timber products as well as recoginsing the importance of promoting the use of responsibly managed timber resources through the Programme Endorsement of Forestry Certification (PEFC).  You can find more information here.
