I’m shortly going to be installing external upvc shiplap cladding to the outside of my house in place of some concrete brick effect cladding which I’ve just removed.
I’ve placed 70mm celotex between existing 3x2 timbers and have covered with external 18mm ply. I’ve then covered that with a weatherproof felt.
Can I install cladding directly to the felt covered ply or should battons be installed first and the cladding fixed yo those? I’m hoping not as that will cause the cladding to protrude a little more than I would like.
Thanks for any help or advice.
