What tools do I need to install my Cladix?

Getting started with Cladix cladding yourself? Good plan. With the right tools, you will work faster, more accurately and more safely.

You mount Cladix with self-tapping screws, so a screwdriver forms the absolute basis. But to work really smoothly and correctly, it is best to lay out some additional tools.

Below is an overview of what you need.

Basic assembly tools

This is the minimum you need to get started:

• Screwdriver or impact drill
• Self-tapping screws
• Matching screw bits
• Roller gauge
• Pencil
• (Vertical) spirit level

Use these tools to measure out correctly, align the profiles neatly and attach them securely to the support structure.

Tools for cutting profiles to size

For correct placement and customisation of your profiles, use:

• Cut-off and mitre saw
• or a hacksaw / handsaw
• trestles or workbench to stably support your equipment

Measuring and alignment tools

For a sleek facade, perfect alignment is important.

Useful tools:

• Cross line laser
• Vertical spirit level
• Plastic adjustment blocks (optional, in different thicknesses)

Working safely: personal protective equipment

Safety first. While cutting and assembling, wear best:

• Safety glasses
• Noise-cancelling headphones
• Work gloves

Additional handy tools (optional)

These tools make work more comfortable, but are not mandatory:

• Ladder
• Tool bag
• Work equipment belt
• Hoover (for saw leftovers)

They help you work more efficiently and keep your workplace tidy.

To sum up: this is what you need

To install Cladix, you will need at least:

Screwdriver + self-tapping screws + measuring tool + spirit level.

Top that up with sawing tools and personal protection, and you're ready to start working professionally.
