Select Installation Preference

Select whether the installation of Cedral will be horizontal or vertical.

If Lap horizontal is selected an additional option on the next page will appear to give the option of 30 mm overlap (standard wind loads) or 40 mm overlap (high wind loads). If you are unsure, you can contact our technical team here.

If Lap vertical is chosen this is using the 1 on 2 mounting method with visible fixings. No other vertical patterns can currently be calculated.

Select whether windows have a reveal

If "with reveal" is selected the calculator will automatically specify the correct vertical profiles, planks and coloured fixings for the sides of windows and the correct horizontal starter profile and perforated closure for the tops of windows.

If without reveal is chosen the calculator will specify vertical end profiles (Lap) or connection profiles (Click) to abut the window and the required horizontal profile for the top.

Enter height, width and number of walls and gables

Once you have entered this information, the calculator will automatically calculate the amount of planks, horizontal profiles (starter and perforated closures), fixings (coloured and hidden) and waterproof strips to protect battens required.

Enter height, width and number of windows

This information enables the area of the windows to be calculated and removed from the total facade cladding area.

The amount of planks, vertical profiles, horizontal profiles, perforated closures, fixings and waterproof strips to protect battens will be automatically calculated.

Enter External and Internal Corners and Abutment Profiles Required

The calculator cannot specify from the previous information provided where corner and abutment profiles are required on the main facade. These must be inputted manually.

The calculator will automatically specify the correct profile for the product and mounting method choses. E.g. Lap Horizontal – a Lap symmetric corner profile would be specified.

Please note This is for corners/abutments on the main facade only. The calculator has already specified all required profiles around windows and doors, do not repeat this.
