Other hidden fasteners, like TimberTech’s CONCEALoc or FUSIONLoc fasteners or any competitive hidden fasteners are not recommended for the cladding application.

Each application is entirely different. The substructure must be built to be weatherproof. Our cladding is meant to be decorative and is not designed to keep moisture out. It is up to the architect, engineer, installer, and local code official to ensure the structure is weather-tight and meets code.
Deck boards from our TimberTech Advanced PVC line can be used as cladding, however deck boards from our TimberTech Composite line are not currently supported by our testing or a Code Compliance Research Report.

We manufacture all products to be highly resistant to mold and other damage from moisture. In rare cases and depending on environmental conditions (temperature, moisture in the air, etc.), mold and mildew could appear on any outdoor surface. If mold occurs on the surface of TimberTech decking, it does not penetrate through the deck board. Surface mold and mildew on TimberTech decking can be removed using TimberTech DeckCleaner or a 1-to-4 mixture of bleach and water.
TimberTech Composite boards are made of a combination of recycled plastic and wood fibers with a protective outer cap, while our TimberTech Advanced PVC boards are made of capped polymer material.
