Handiply® Utilityclad - Texture
Handiply® Utilityclad Texture is commonly referred to as down grade plywood cladding, downgrade or seconds cladding. It is a band-sawn plywood panel sourced from downgraded Shadowclad® exterior cladding.
Utilityclad Texture product has a band-sawn face profile.
Utilityclad Texture is not suitable as an exterior cladding where a high level of visual finish and/or compliance with NZ Building Code clause E2 is required.
Recommended cladding applications include, but are not limited to: sheds and barns, farm buildings and general utility buildings.
For applications such as residential and commercial cladding, which require a high level of visual finish and/or compliance with NZ Building Code clause E2, you must use Shadowclad first-grade exterior cladding. The use of Utilityclad plywood cladding in these applications is not permitted.
