End Matched

Utilising a specially developed end match system for external use, WOOD ELEMENTS end-match profile has a micro bevel edge designed to encourage water to drain away from the join. End matching the product means the boards can be fixed mid cavity batten, eliminating the need to dock and create volumes of waste, saving a minimum of 10% of the product that previously would have been thrown away. Not only does this save costs, it’s a better for our environment with less resource being used.

WOOD ELEMENTS is a cladding that has been designed with concealed fixing in mind. For fixing, Hurford’s recommend screwing along the pre machined “screw location” line which enables the board to slip over the secured row quickly and easily, creating a clear face finish.

Automatic Spacing System

The Automatic Spacing System allows expansion to be placed between the boards, which is automatic and doesn’t require any special tools or spacers to get right. The specially designed ridge locator controls the expansion allowance. This unique design feature takes out any pressure caused if the boards expand due to absorption of moisture.

Double Dried Technology

All the timber used to manufacture WOOD ELEMENTS is air dried for up to 12 months to bring the moisture content down to “fibre” saturation. From this point the timber is kiln dried using double drying technology, developed by Hurfords to ensure significant added stability. This produces a finished product with a very narrow moisture variation.

Straight-Line Dressed

When timber is milled and dried it builds stress and force, which translates into spring and bow. Steps can be taken during this process to minimise this. Hurfords uses a process to straighten the boards post drying to ensure the boards are straight and stay straight. This ensures that WOOD ELEMENTS can be easily installed and all shadowlines remain as they have been designed – straight.
