CLADDING RAVINE WOOD ELEMENTS T&G 120c x 21mm SPOTTED GUM

Wood Elements is an architectural hardwood cladding solution that brings natural style to any exterior surface, whether as an individual feature or an entire façade. Apart from being a great looking cladding, it’s extremely hard-wearing and perfect under the Australian sun.

Ravine profile has a deep escarpment creating adistinctive “V” shaped gap between boards. Designed for internal use, the deep “V” shadowline will bring sophisiticated clean lines to any interior.

Only the highest quality and naturally enduring species are used in the manufacture of Wood Elements, offering a life expectancy upwards of 40 years. These include Australian classics like spotted gum, blackbutt and ironbark that are sought after around the world for their strength, durability and style. American white oak is a popular option for internal applications.

As one of Australia’s premium native hardwoods, spotted gum has a striking appearance and a high degree of natural resilience and strength. Combined with the wavy grain structure, attractive markings and vibrant colour palette, it’s a rich individual timber valued by architects and designers the world over. The "spotted" reference comes from the soft mottled colour produced by weathering of the outer tree as it sheds elliptical-shaped pieces of bark. The resulting colour varies widely from pale grey-browns, to soft creams, to a rich chocolate brown, even producing an olive green or red tinge occasionally.

A complete solution for any wall, supreme hardwood machining and detailed designs ensure a precision fit and watertight result. Wood Elements features include relief grooves to reduce warping and cupping, a straight-line edging process for extremely straight lengths, a ridge locator to proficiently align the overlap and accommodate expansion, a screw locator groove for concealed fixing, and an end matched system.

Whilst the manufacturer of Wood Elements recommend applying a penetrative oil based finish for moisture and UV management, it’s also viable to finish these weatherboards with a stain, paint or clear coat. Leaving the cladding raw is a further option, but accelerated weathering and reduced lifespan will likely result.

Spotted gum has an astonishing level of natural fire resistance. It’s inherent fire retarding properties meet Australian Standard AS3959, and so can be used in bush-fire prone areas without any treatment.
