The ventilated cladding system 10, for an external wall of a timber framed building, comprises a spacer 14 for attaching between a timber substrate 12 of the external wall and a render carrying layer 16, which defines a ventilated cavity 36. A render composite 18 is applied to the render carrying layer, providing a decorative finish and limiting the ingress of water. The composite has a reinforcing base layer 54 for adhering to the render carrying layer, a mesh or skrim 58 associated with the reinforcing base layer, and a decorative render that adheres to the base layer. A breathable membrane 20 or fire barrier 52 may be provided between the substrate and spacer. The system may also comprise a bracket 164 for attaching to the base of the timber substrate, the bracket comprising a perforated portion 170 for allowing ventilation, and a render support portion 176. |
