MODERN SCANDI-STYLE CLADDING
LAUNCHES IN THE UK
With the UK currently embracing all things
Scandinavian, from TV shows to the ultimate
quest for cosiness known as ‘hygge’, people
can now buy into another Scandi concept
with the launch of a new, stylish and high-
performance external weatherboard cladding
system.
The system, which is suitable for both
residential and commercial properties, offers
a modern alternative to wood and fibre
cement plank cladding, is now available to
buy in the UK for the first time.
VIVIX Lap is produced by global surfacing
products manufacturer, Formica Group, and
is being sold exclusively by Arnold Laver,
the UK’s leading supplier of timber and
construction materials. The product comes
in eight colours and four wood tones and
requires no treatments or paint.
The pre-cut planks feature a screw fixed
solution and are installed in an overlapping
arrangement that conceals fixings to give a
perfect finish.
Tom Andrews, Sales Director of Arnold Laver,
said: “VIVIX Lap combines a classic cladding
style with a modern twist that can be used to
fully clad a building, or as a design feature,
alongside other materials. The product is
quick and easy to install, it requires very

little ongoing maintenance and it looks
fantastic, which makes it a great alternative
to traditional cladding materials.
“As a result, it’s popular with self-builders,
developers, specifiers and construction
professionals and can be applied to
everything from new build housing and
renovation projects, garden offices, sheds
and garages, to commercial business parks,
retail outlets, park homes and holiday
lodges. VIVIX Lap is also a cost-effective
way to give an old building a new, fresh and
modern appearance, as well as having the
potential to include insulation to improve the
efficiency of a property.”
VIVIX Lap planks come in packs of four
for easy handling and are 2990mm long
and 180mm high. A complete range of
complementary colour matched accessories
including installation profiles, trims and
screws are also available to create a perfect
finish.
