Key Benefits
Long-lasting wood performance
Kebony modification technology enhances the wood for demanding exterior cladding and architectural applications.

Suitable for contemporary residences, commercial buildings, institutional projects, hospitality spaces, and custom façades.
Flexible installation direction
Compatible systems can support horizontal, vertical, and diagonal cladding layouts depending on project design and assembly requirements.
Rainscreen compatibility
Can be incorporated into ventilated rainscreen assemblies using appropriate weather barriers, flashing, rails, blocking, or furring systems.
Click-in Cladding™ System
Concealed attachment
Compatible grooved boards click securely into Grad™ Mini Rail clips for a clean exterior with minimal visible fastening.
Multiple installation layouts
Rails and cladding can be configured for horizontal, vertical, or diagonal façade installations.
Compatible board widths
Available configurations include compatible 1 × 6 and 1 × 8 Kebony Clear cladding boards with narrow or wide reveal options.
Available board lengths
Compatible cladding boards are listed in 10', 12', 14', and 16' lengths for project flexibility.
Store Kebony covered and protected from direct exposure before installation. Confirm the selected grade, profile, rail, reveal, orientation, and fastening method during project planning.
All cladding installations must include properly detailed weather barriers, drainage, ventilation, flashing, openings, transitions, and code-compliant fastening. Project assemblies should be reviewed by the architect, engineer, installer, or local building official.
