You&#8217;ll notice how lightweight yet durable the boards are, ready for immediate use.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few things we advise users to be aware of before diving in and building that dream project:<\/p>\n<p>+ A release agent will be present on the surface of the boards when you take delivery of them, which may give a slightly shiny effect. This release agent has been applied so that the finished board can easily be removed from our moulds and will disperse in the weeks following installation.<\/p>\n<p>+ Like wood, no two Envello Cladding boards are the same colour, with the subtle differences giving the most natural appearance. This is to give your cladding all the good looks of wood cladding, but all the structural longevity of a composite material.<\/p>\n<p>+ Our boards are moulded under extreme pressure and not extruded, so some dimensional variance is expected. The tolerances that we permit for the size of our cladding boards are limited to: Width: \u00b1 3mm. Length: \u00b1 5mm. Thickness: \u00b1 2mm.<\/p>\n<p>+ As with wood, it may be necessary to trim the ends of the boards during installation, in order to achieve a flush, clean finish.<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"accordion__item wp-block\">\n    <button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-2\" type=\"button\" class=\"accordion__item__trigger js-accordion-button\" id=\"are-envello-cladding-colours-consistent\"><h3 class=\"accordion__item__heading\">Are Envello cladding colours consistent?<\/h3><\/button>\n\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-2\" class=\"accordion__item__panel js-expandable-element\" aria-labelledby=\"are-envello-cladding-colours-consistent\" hidden=\"true\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n        <div class=\"accordion__item__panel__inner\">\n            <p>Millboard has been designed to replicate the natural variances of wood and we do not intend for the product to have identical shades.

This release agent has been applied so that the finished board can easily be removed from our moulds and will disperse in the weeks following installation.\\r\\n\\r\\n+ Like wood, no two Envello Cladding boards are the same colour, with the subtle differences giving the most natural appearance. This is to give your cladding all the good looks of wood cladding, but all the structural longevity of a composite material.\\r\\n\\r\\n+ Our boards are moulded under extreme pressure and not extruded, so some dimensional variance is expected. The tolerances that we permit for the size of our cladding boards are limited to: Width: \u00b1 3mm. Length: \u00b1 5mm. Thickness: \u00b1 2mm.\\r\\n\\r\\n+ As with wood, it may be necessary to trim the ends of the boards during installation, in order to achieve a flush, clean finish.\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\"},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.millboard.com\\\/en-ie\\\/frequently-asked-questions\\\/envello-cladding-frequently-asked-questions\\\/#are-envello-cladding-colours-consistent\",\"position\":2,\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.millboard.com\\\/en-ie\\\/frequently-asked-questions\\\/envello-cladding-frequently-asked-questions\\\/#are-envello-cladding-colours-consistent\",\"name\":\"Are Envello cladding colours consistent? \",\"answerCount\":1,\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Millboard has been designed to replicate the natural variances of wood and we do not intend for the product to have identical shades.

You'll notice how lightweight yet durable the boards are, ready for immediate use.\r\n\r\nThere are a few things we advise users to be aware of before diving in and building that dream project:\r\n\r\n+ A release agent will be present on the surface of the boards when you take delivery of them, which may give a slightly shiny effect. This release agent has been applied so that the finished board can easily be removed from our moulds and will disperse in the weeks following installation.\r\n\r\n+ Like wood, no two Envello Cladding boards are the same colour, with the subtle differences giving the most natural appearance. This is to give your cladding all the good looks of wood cladding, but all the structural longevity of a composite material.\r\n\r\n+ Our boards are moulded under extreme pressure and not extruded, so some dimensional variance is expected. The tolerances that we permit for the size of our cladding boards are limited to: Width: \u00b1 3mm. Length: \u00b1 5mm. Thickness: \u00b1 2mm.\r\n\r\n+ As with wood, it may be necessary to trim the ends of the boards during installation, in order to achieve a flush, clean finish.","inLanguage":"en-GB"},"inLanguage":"en-GB"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-ie\/frequently-asked-questions\/envello-cladding-frequently-asked-questions\/#are-envello-cladding-colours-consistent","position":2,"url":"https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-ie\/frequently-asked-questions\/envello-cladding-frequently-asked-questions\/#are-envello-cladding-colours-consistent","name":"Are Envello cladding colours consistent?
