PLYWOOD CLADDING FOR BRACINGS & DECORATIVE EXTERIORS
Shadowclad inspires the designs of many leading Australian architects. Being a cladding and bracing material in one means that it is particularly cost-effective too.
With proven strength and durability, Shadowclad materials withstand the elements, offering architects, designers, builders and renovators a range of reliable design options. Their textured finish and weathergrooves are designed especially for exterior use.

Technical
Technical
Produced from Pinus Radiata veneers and bonded with phenol formaldehyde resin adhesive (WBP marine bond, Type-A exterior), the finished sheets are preservative treated to provide long-term protection from decay.
Gunnersen stocks Shadowclad Groove and Shadowclad Texture which are decorative sheets with a band-sawn surface (with a groove profile option) for use on residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Standard CCA Woodlogic plywood products are also used for exterior sheathing under proprietary textured coatings, plaster and stucco finishes, or materials like shingles and thin cedar boarding.
They are also available already primed with special Climate Priming. This is an advanced powder coating process that’s been specifically developed for substrates prior to top coating. With a noticeably smoother surface, Climate Primed claddings allow for easier top coat application and give you a more square-metre coverage per litre of paint. The Climate Priming process significantly reduces the amount of water absorption, resulting in a drier surface for top coating.
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
Framing and details should comply with AS 1684, or be specifically designed to AS 720, or equivalent steel framing practices, subject to the provisions below:
Ground clearance and overhangs:
- 100mm clear above paving
- 150mm clear above soil
- 25mm clear above paving under verandahs, porches and protected areas
- 25mm minimum overhang under bottom plate (cladding length 2440mm give 40mm).
- 75mm max sheet overhang from nail centres on any edge
- Roof overhangs protect walls from rain and dust, and offer shade
PRESERVATIVES
Woodlogic Cladding products are H3 treated to the requirements of MP3640 and AS1604, either with LOSP for textured plywood, or with CCA for standard Woodlogic
Plywood. CCA is a water-based treatment using copper (fungicide), arsenic and chrome to fix the chemicals in the wood. LOSP is a light organic solvent preservative containing a fungicide (TBTN) for rot protection, a mouldicide for short term mould resistance prior to coating, an insecticide and a wax water repellent to stabilise the surface fibres for painting.
COMPLIANCE
Woodlogic structural plywood cladding meets the requirements of the Australian Building Code in relation to: Structure, Durability, External and Internal Moisture and energy efficiency. Plywood to AS/NZS 2269, F11 Stress Grade is a wood based panel material with design values in the timber engineering codes in both Australia and New Zealand.
