Product Description

18 x 92mm Frake Rainscreen Cladding

Fraké is a type of hardwood known for its thermal modification process. The process involves only heat and steam, with no additional chemicals, which significantly improves the performance of the non-durable Limba timber. This results in a very durable wood, meeting Durability Class 1 with a life span of over 25 years according to NEN-EN 350-2. The thermal modification process also gives the wood a beautiful, warm, chocolate-brown colour, making it look luxurious and appealing.

Fraké is an excellent choice for exterior cladding applications because of its superior performance attributes, good looks, and competitive pricing. Rainscreen cladding is installed horizontally with open joints, allowing for good air circulation and dimensional movement. To prevent water retention, the Rainscreen is chamfered on both sides, creating an overlap between the boards and allowing water to drain. The open joint provides strong shadow lines between the boards.

Known as ‘rainscreen’ cladding, this profile is the shape of a parallelogram with its two sides at opposing angles. It is installed with a narrow gap between adjacent boards to allow a small amount of light and air to filter through.

The shape is designed to maximise water to run-off away from the building and is ideal for exterior walls with thermal insulation.  If used as an open slatted fence, rainscreen cladding systems also offer more protection against the wind than a solid fence as it is dispersed rather than forced up and over.

Technical Information

  • Colour
    Colour can vary between boards and within boards. Walnut to chocolate brown colouring with some grey/black mineral streaking.  
  • Durability
    When properly finished and maintained, Frake cladding will deliver decades of trouble-free service. It has a decay resistance of durability class 1 (durable)
    according to BS EN 350-1.
  • Stability
    Frake is mostly free of knots, with some knots present. Knots can be crumbly in appearance. Shrinkage and swelling are minimal, displaying only small movements with changes in humidity.
  • Grading
    Boards are graded on one face only. Boards are not reversible and, as such, some surface/roller marks may be expected on the rear of the boards - Click here for further grading information.
  • Sourcing/certification
    Thermally modified Limba from sustainably managed, FSC-certified forests in Africa.

Delivery & Returns

For national deliveries, the service is kerbside only, meaning the driver will deliver the timber to the curb/edge of your property, but not carry it inside, up steps, or into a building.

So you’ll need to plan for moving it from the delivery point yourself (or with help) once it’s been dropped off.

No automatic returns. Goods ordered in error or no longer needed can’t be returned for credit unless Beesley & Fildes agrees.
Possible returns (with approval):
Must be made within 28 days of purchase.
Items must be from regular stock lines (not custom or manufacturer-ordered).
Goods must be unused and in original packaging.

A minimum 25% restocking charge applies.
Special orders (items sourced directly from a manufacturer) cannot be returned without prior written agreement.
Delivery charges are non-refundable once the order has been dispatched, because a third-party courier handles deliveries.

DELIVERY DATES. All deliveries, Local or Nationwide, are normally 3-4* working days. Confirmation of delivery dates (and supplying branch) is given by email following the process of ordering through the payment gateway. Saturday delivery, local or by nationwide courier, may carry a surcharge.

Please email customer services for more information. *Add two Extra days for Bank Holidays. Also, some products are not carried at all branches.

If delivery time is important, please call Web sales prior to placing an order.
