Posted by Carl Farnsworth, on
5M X 150MM ROSEWOOD SHIPLAP CLADDING - BUTT JOINTS IS IT A REQUIREMENT/STANDARD PRACTICE TO FIT BUTT JOINTS AND LEAVE EXPANSION GAPS WHERE LENGTHS OF UPVC CLADDING JOIN? OR IS IT OK TO BUTT LENGTHS TOGETHER WITHOUT A GAP AND USE SILICONE SEALANT OVER THE TOP OF THE JOIN? REGARDS MR FARNSWORTH

It should have factory manufactured butt joins apposed to silicone because dark upvc will expand n contract and silicone will look unsightly and crack,shrink,fail with time
