Ceilings and Soffits

Sculptform’s Tongue and Groove cladding system can be used for interior ceilings and external soffits.

  • For interior ceilings, batten/joists at 600mm centres.
  • For external soffits, battens/joists at 600mm centres.
  • For suspended ceilings, consider the kg/m² weight of the cladding (see technical information) and consult your suspended ceiling provider.
Windows and other penetrations
Window Header Detail

Penetrations to cladding need a secure fixing point. Where the cladding meets a door, window, etc. framing should be available to secure the cladding. Smaller penetrations such as lights, pipes, etc. may not need a fixing point. Sealant should be used in these situations for appearance and external waterproofing.

Window and door penetrations could use our L-Profile to neaten the detail.
