Flatlock and Shingle Cladding – The Fine Print

System Buildup

The Flatlock system requires a fully supported build up for both walls and roof applications.It is advised that this plywood sub-construction is installed over battens that allow for a ventilated system. Some material manufacturers make this a requirement to qualify for the material warranty offered.

Wall applications: it is recommended that a minimum 15mm thick layer of structural plywood is being used.

Roof applications: a minimum 17mm thick layer of structural plywood is required.

This plywood is then covered with a breathable / waterproof membrane such as ProctorWrap RW (walls) and ProctorWrap HTR (roofs).

In some instances the use of a self-adhesive waterproof membrane is recommended such as the ProctorWrap SA.

The above is the manufacturer’s recommendation for a build up on a domestic project. For commercial applications it may be required to meet other guidelines.
