• Install the Starter Strip: Begin by attaching the starter strip to the bottom of the wall where you want the cladding to start. This ensures a secure base for the first board.
• Attach the Cladding Boards: Starting from the bottom, attach the first composite cladding board to the starter strip using screws or clips. Ensure that each board is level before attaching the next one above it. Continue this process, ensuring that the cladding boards fit snugly together.
• Secure the Edges: Once all the composite cladding panels are in place, install edge trims or corner trims to provide a neat finish.
• Inspect and Clean: After installation, check for any gaps or loose fittings, and clean the surface to remove any dust or debris.
• With proper installation, composite cladding will offer a sleek, professional finish that can enhance the appearance of any building.
