Hi all, would very much appreciate any response from those who have purchased a Keith Hay home with ‘shadowclad’ cladding. We are looking at purchasing a property that has the Keith Hay ‘Raglan’ showhome model on the site, finished in shadowclad board and batten. The home is just under 2 years old. I was concerned to hear that Carter Holt Harvey is the subject of a class action over the shadowclad product. Should I be worried – is there really a bigger issue with the cladding, or is it just limited to isolated cases? The cladding looks to be in conditiona tthis point, with no visible warping. Thanks heaps.

Daniel – I would be very wary of buying anything with Shadowclad on which is 2 years old. The problems with Shadowclad came from how it was fixed on site. They have since updated the installation manual and details but only since May 2018 so if it I was you, I wouldn’t be going near Shadowclad which has been done before that date.
