What is Plywood Cladding?
Exterior Cladding (also referred to as Shadowclad) is an exterior structural plywood product which can be used for both decorative and bracing purposes and is available in either primed or un-primed. The product is also sustainably grown, which is a major environmentally friendly benefit for any project you are working on.
Two different finish options are available for Shadowclad. We offer both a Natural Finish and a Primed Finish, which each have the option of coming in Grooved or Textured. All Exterior Cladding comes in 12mm thickness, while we offer two sheet sizes for each variety: 2440 x 1216mm and 2745 x 1216mm.


Shadowclad Process
Shadowclad is produced from Pinus Radiata veneers, bonded with an A-Bond adhesive and manufactured in accordance with Australian Standards.
The finished sheets are H3 LOSP preservative treated to provide long-term protection from decay. Shadowclad Groove and Shadowclad Texture are decorative sheets with a band-sawn surface and with a groove profile option.

Typical Cladding applications
Exterior Cladding is used widely throughout building and construction and as a result it’s used in a number of different projects. Shadowclad can be used for anything from resorts and hotels, stables and agricultural buildings to things like premium industrial structures.
The versatility and sheer variety of applications which can utilise our Shadowclad is one of its greatest strengths.
