Boards are layered horizontally like roof tiles, which sheds water effectively.

The extra thickness also provides better insulation and a quieter interior in rain.\u003C/li\u003E\r\n \u003Cli\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHeavy Duty T\u0026amp;G (15mm)\u003C/strong\u003E is the specification used across our Heavy Duty range \u2014 15mm cladding on walls, roof, and floor.
