These simply clip onto the weatherboard you've just fixed and set the board above it perfectly parallel and at the correct angle and measurement.
All you need to do is fix the board to the wall and move on. No double or triple checking, the K-Strip at the bottom ensures the accuracy of the first weatherboard, the Handbracket takes its measurements from that.
The Fast Clad Hand Bracket allows weatherboarding to be installed quickly and accurately without the need for storey rods.
When used in conjunction with the K Strip Weatherboard starter, cladding time can be reduced by up to 50%.
The Fast Clad Hand Bracket is a fixed sized spacing removing the chance of the spacing being uneven.
There are three different size Hand Brackets available 135mm, 150mm, 180mm and they come in pairs.
Brackets come in pairs in three standard sizes that relate to the weatherboard size:
- 135mm (gives 105mm cover)
- 150mm (gives 130mm cover)
- 180mm (gives 150mm cover)
