Forestar's WPC cladding systems are engineered for rapid, professional installation. Our precision-engineered profiles and concealed fastening systems ensure a flawless finish every time.
Inspect and prepare the wall substrate. Install horizontal aluminum or treated timber battens at 400–600mm centers to create a ventilated cavity behind the cladding system.
Fix the aluminum starter channel at the base of the wall, ensuring it is perfectly level. This establishes the datum for all subsequent cladding board courses.
Engage the first WPC cladding board into the starter channel. Secure concealed stainless-steel clips to the top edge of each board before engaging the next course — no visible fixings required.
Complete the installation with matching WPC corner trims, end caps, and fascia profiles. No painting, sealing, or surface treatment is required — the facade is immediately ready to perform.
Complement your WPC wall cladding installation with Forestar's industry-leading composite deck board systems. Engineered with the same commitment to durability, sustainability, and authentic wood aesthetics as our cladding range.
