In Europe timber cladding is perennially popular, we took cladding to the next level and Australian architects fell in love all over again. Expression Cladding has breathed new life into cladding, with the introduction of shiplap cladding in a range of sleek and modern profiles, timbers and finishes. With so much choice and flexibility, it’s no wonder architects approve. Expression Cladding is finely-detailed and easy-to-install; designed around timber movement, it allows for shrinkage and expansion. This versatile system comes with a range of proprietary corner solutions in timber and aluminium. Richmond Rowing Club by FMSA.

How can we expand on the already vast range of options and make it more versatile than ever? Turns out the answer is deceptively simple: what about the fourth dimension? With the brand new ‘Element’ profile and a range of new sizes adding depth to our standard profiles, Expression Cladding has entered the fourth dimension. Now you can add ribs, furrows, and varied depths right across your cladding. Used vertically or horizontally, this new dimension of depth can be combined with board widths, timbers, and finishes to create a signature cladding texture that is all your own. The sky is truly the limit. Various species coated with Dulux Weathershield Low Sheen Black.
