PRIMAplank™ShiplapEnhancing the uniqueness of wall facets on buildings by expressing the ‘contemporary look’ in the architect masterpiece. The ‘shiplap’ jointing system employs ‘tougue and grove’ concept that brings about the conventional timber planking appearance, while maintaning a flat and straight wall. This jointing system is made possible by precision-finishing machine forming recesses along the plank’s lengths. PRIMAplank™

Shiplap can be applied as cladding material to mansory walls or to lightweight framed-wall systems.

Manufactured using a precision cutting technology, PRIMAplank™ V-Edge is ideal for eaves lining application. Unlike conventional timber strip lining, there is no compromise on wastages due to non-straightness and warpage. PRIMAplank™ V-Edge strips are lightly chamfered along their length, resulting in neat inverted ‘V’ shape lines along the strip’s joints.
