Effortless Installation
CLAD 120 is engineered for a fast and simple installation process that saves both time and labor. Each panel is designed to interlock seamlessly, much like a Lego system, creating a secure and polished finish without visible gaps. This precision fit ensures a professional appearance even for DIY projects, while the lightweight aluminum structure makes handling and positioning panels easy. With only corrosion-resistant screws required, you can achieve a high-end architectural finish without the need for specialized tools or complicated procedures. This single-piece cladding system offers maximum efficiency, durability, and long-lasting performance in any climate.
Why Choose CLAD 120 Aluminum Over Real Teak Wood?
CLAD 120 delivers the luxurious appearance of real teak wood without the maintenance headaches that come with natural timber. Its one-piece, three-plank design creates the look of multiple wood boards while simplifying installation and reducing labor time. Unlike real teak, which requires regular staining, oiling, and sealing to preserve its appearance, CLAD 120’s powder-coated aluminum surface is completely maintenance-free. It withstands rain, humidity, and prolonged UV exposure without fading, warping, or cracking, making it ideal for both coastal and high-sun environments. Aluminum’s natural resistance to pests and fire provides an added layer of safety, and because it is 100% recyclable, it offers an eco-friendly alternative to harvesting tropical hardwoods. With CLAD 120, you get timeless teak aesthetics with modern durability and sustainability built in.

Installation Process for CLAD120 Woodgrain Aluminum Cladding
Installing CLAD120 woodgrain aluminum cladding is fast, precise, and designed for long-lasting performance thanks to its advanced interlocking system. Whether you are upgrading a residential façade, adding a modern touch to commercial exteriors, or creating a unique interior feature wall, the process is straightforward and requires only basic tools. Follow the steps below for a flawless, professional finish that enhances both style and durability.
1. Prepare the Surface
Begin by ensuring that the wall, frame, or structure is clean, level, and structurally sound. Remove any debris, old siding, or protrusions that may affect panel alignment. For exterior applications, especially in areas exposed to heavy rain or high humidity, install a weatherproof sheathing or moisture barrier to protect the underlying structure from water infiltration and extend its lifespan.
2. Measure and Plan Your Layout
Carefully measure the total installation area and mark straight layout lines as your guide. This ensures the panels are perfectly aligned and evenly spaced from start to finish. Decide if you want a horizontal layout for a contemporary look or a vertical arrangement for a classic, elongated appearance. Accurate planning at this stage minimizes cutting waste and ensures a cleaner, faster installation.
3. Install the Starter Strip
Fix a starter strip or base support at the lowest point of the wall or frame, making sure it is level and secure. This strip acts as your anchor, setting the alignment for the first row of panels. A properly installed starter strip is crucial, as even a minor tilt will affect the entire installation.
4. Position and Secure the First Panel
Place the first CLAD120 panel onto the starter strip, aligning it carefully before securing it with corrosion-resistant or stainless-steel screws. The powder-coated aluminum surface is highly durable, but correct screw placement ensures a firm hold and long-term stability.
5. Continue with the Interlocking “Lego-Style” System
Each subsequent panel should slide seamlessly into the groove of the previous one. The precision-engineered interlocking design eliminates visible gaps, locks panels securely in place, and creates a uniform, high-end appearance. This system is not only fast to install but also resistant to warping, shifting, or loosening over time.
6. Trim and Custom Fit as Needed
For openings, corners, and edge transitions, cut the panels with a fine-tooth blade or metal-cutting tools to achieve an exact fit. Always use matching trim accessories to maintain a consistent style and to seal exposed edges against weather exposure.
7. Finish with Cap and Trim Pieces
Complete the installation by adding finishing caps or trim pieces to all open edges. This final step not only enhances visual appeal but also provides added protection against moisture, pests, and UV damage.
