Stria™ Cladding

Product Details

Achieve a range of sleek looks with customisable Stria™ cladding. Featuring deep grooves from the thick shiplap cladding boards, the Stria range is an easy way to get the strong horizontal cladding lines in modern home and townhouse designs. Stria cladding suits contemporary looks where a bold, but pared-back aesthetic is desired. Introduce design versatility into your home by varying the application and switch between widths and orient the boards vertically or panelise them with the vertical flashing stop accessory. Stria 325mm and 405mm profiles are 14mm thick fibre cement with shiplap joints that leave 15mm wide horizontal grooves for strong clean lines.

Best for Stria Cladding

• Modern exteriors needing bold, clean horizontal lines
• Vertical installations that create contemporary “panel” rhythm
• Townhouse and multi-res designs seeking strong shadowline detail
• Projects wanting a thicker profile for a more robust façade feel
• Feature walls where groove depth adds texture without busy patterns
• Designs combining multiple cladding textures for contrast

Selecting the best type

Choose board width to match façade scale

• Choose the narrower width for finer proportioning and tighter groove rhythm.
• Choose the wider width for bolder scale and fewer boards per wall.
• Mix widths when the design calls for a bespoke pattern.

Confirm the lengths you’re ordering

• Select longer board lengths where available to reduce horizontal joints and keep the wall looking continuous.

Why builders specify it

• Stable substrate: less swelling and shrinkage means fewer visible movement issues at joins
• Fast coverage: long lengths reduce the number of joins across large walls
• Design flexibility: you can vary board widths and even change orientation for contrast details (with the right accessories and set-out)

Installation notes that prevent callbacks

• Plan your set-out early so corners, openings, and sheet joins land neatly on framing
• Treat moisture control as a system: wrap/sarking, flashings, and penetrations matter as much as the boards
• Use correct fasteners and corrosion-resistant fixings in coastal zones, and follow the manufacturer’s fixing pattern for best restraint and finish quality
