Iro Mountain External Cladding (Square Edge 3600 x 145 x 22 mm)
Description
Manufactured in Britain and inspired by the traditional Japanese method of Yakisugi, IRO architectural cladding is a unique range that’s designed to enhance all building exteriors. It can make any outdoor space either more modern or more traditional depending on the way it’s used and can add charm and character to a range of spaces.
IRO is crafted through an intricate and finely tuned seven-step process that combines an eye for detail with the latest timber technology. This encompasses state-of-the-art sawmilling and two stages of kiln drying, in addition to heat enhancement, brushing, high pressure treatment (for external products) and the application of a protective wood cream.
Coated in wood cream to enhance the product’s charred profile, IRO cladding boasts a smooth, glossy and colourful finish. The coloured wood cream also adds water-repellent properties, meaning that liquids will pearl off the product and help to maintain it.
Price displayed is per board.

Installation Recommendations
Horizontal Cladding
Battens should be at least 2 times the thickness of the board. Batten centres should be 600mm.
Softwood battens shall be pre-treated by an industrial process in accordance with BS8417 for a BSEN335:1 Use Class 3 application.
Battens at 400mm centres should be used for diagonal cladding.
Where horizontal boards abut one another, additional support shall be provided by a second batten that extends at least the width of one board either side of the abutting boards.
A ventilation gap of at least 19mm shall be incorporated into the design to permit air circulation and unrestricted drainage of rainwater that penetrates the cladding. The more open the cladding joints then the width of the cavity shall be increased.
Insect mesh shall be fitted to all cavity openings.
Vertical Cladding
Counter battens are an essential design detail for vertical cladding to permit unrestricted drainage and air circulation in the cavity. Counter battens may be any thickness but 16mm shall be the minimum.
Cladding support battens should be at least 2 times the thickness of an individual board. The top edge should be machined, prior to preservative treatment, to an angle (15°) sufficient to shed water running down the back of the cladding into the ventilation cavity.
Softwood battens shall be pre-treated by an industrial process in accordance with BS8417 for a BSEN335:1 Use Class 3 application.
A cavity of at least 19mm shall be incorporated into the design to permit air circulation and unrestricted drainage of rainwater that penetrates the cladding.
All openings into the cavity should be fitted with insect mesh.
