Loglap is an increasingly popular cladding profile for use in sheds and other garden buildings. Loglap features smooth planed and fully interlocking tongued and grooved boarding with a rounded external log effect profile. The design ensures that rainwater drains quickly and the timber dries quickly. This helps to ensure a longer life for your shed. Our sheds feature properly tongued and grooved boarding which is stronger than the half lap loglap or rebated loglap used by many others. See similar questions...

The tungsten carbide cloth is infiltrated by a brazing alloy, which fuses the carbide particles together and wets the substrate, creating a metallurgical bond. See similar questions...

Macrohardness is in the 64-70 HRC range for WC 200, 60-66 HRC for WC 210 and 56-62 HRC range for WC219. However, our claddings are a composite of tungsten carbide particles dispersed in a nickel-based alloy matrix. The extremely hard carbide particles, with a Vickers Diamond Pyramid Hardness of about 2000 DPH50g (1865 DPH50g is equivalent to 80 Rockwell C Hardness (HRC)), are surrounded by a two-phase matrix (300-800 DPH50g, equivalent to 30-64 HRC).

Shiplap is the traditional and ever popular cladding profile for use in sheds and other garden buildings. Shiplap features smooth planed and fully interlocking tongued and grooved boarding. The design ensures that rainwater drains quickly and the timber dries quickly. This helps to ensure a longer life for your shed. Our sheds feature properly tongued and grooved boarding which is stronger than the half lap shiplap or rebated shiplap used by many others. See similar questions...

One 5m length of 100mm wide cladding covers 0.5m2. One 5m length of 150mm wide cladding covers 0.7m2. Remember to allow extra for wastage. top See similar questions...

Limestone cladding is cut into 35mm thick tiles from natural limestone, using diamond tipped saw blades. It is available as an all round diamond cut tile for butt jointing or diamond cut face with quarry cut edges for use when mortar joints are to be used. See similar questions...

Typical cladding thicknesses are in the 0.020” - 0.060” (0.5mm-1.5mm) range. If required, thinner or thicker claddings can be applied. See similar questions...

Cladding cannot be applied on-site. Parts to be clad are either sent to Conforma Clad for processing or fabricated completely at our facility. Alternately (especially for large parts), we can clad tailored liners and install the liner on site. See similar questions...

No known minimum. Our claddings can withstand continuous service at least 1900°F, and spikes in temperature in excess to 2000°F. See similar questions...

The infiltration brazed claddings are metallurgically bonded, and are therefore resistant to flaking and spalling. In some cases cladding cracks are visible. These are due to differences in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the cladding and substrate material, or can result from certain heat treatments due to substrate volume changes. Typically the cladding cracks do NOT penetrate into the substrate and do not affect wear resistance. See similar questions...

Standard methods for checking cladding thickness on installed components utilize eddy current instruments to measure cladding thickness, or ultrasonic instruments to measure overall thickness, then subtracting a known substrate thickness. Once the cladding thickness is known, overall wear life can be extrapolated due to Conforma Clad's predictable wear rates. Substrates can be received in any microstructural condition.
