How we cut (quick guide)

First, we nest your parts to minimise waste. Next, our CNC saws cut and label every piece for rapid layout. Then we pack flat with corner protection for UK-wide delivery. Finally, you fix and seal edges on site for long-term durability.

Fitting tips

Before fixing, acclimatise boards to site conditions. Then pre-drill, lay with the mesh face up, and fix at recommended centres. Leave small expansion gaps at walls and upstands. After trimming, touch in edges with suitable paint or sealant to keep moisture out.
