Description

The Nu-Wall Aluminium Cladding System — Vertical is a cavity-based or direct-fixed, inter-locking powder-coated aluminium weatherboard system. Available in a wide range of profiles including flat and corrugated designs, and it is suitable for traditional, contemporary or modern aesthetics. Lightweight and weathertight, Nu-Wall Cladding combines durability with functional good-looks.

It is designed to be used as an external wall cladding system for residential and light commercial type buildings where domestic construction techniques are used.

Vertical On Cavity System includes vertically fixed Nu-Wall weatherboards and cavity battens, and incorporates a primary and secondary means of weather resistance (first and second line of defence) against water penetration by separating the cladding from the external wall framing with a nominal 20mm cavity.
Vertical Direct Fixed System includes vertically fixed Nu-Wall weatherboards installed over an absorbent wall wrap, and uses a vented base channel
Both systems include internal and external corner mouldings, base channels, board jointers, board locators, soffit caps, joinery flashings and accessories
