Disclosed is a cladding element (10) for use in a cladding element assembly. The cladding element includes a substantially flat web (12) having a pair of opposed longitudinal edges, a male rib formation (14) extending at least partially along one longitudinal edge and having a pair of spaced apart inner and outer upstanding ribs (20 and 24) and an engaging formation (22). The element also includes a female rib formation (16) extending at least partially along the other longitudinal edge and having an inner upstanding rib (30), an outer depending rib (38) and a joining section (36), between the inner and outer ribs and displaced from the plane of the web, and a corresponding engaging formation (40). At least one of the male or female rib formations is at least partially resiliently flexible. The element is adapted for assembly with a like element by positioning of the male formation substantially within the female formation with their respective engaging formations in engagement. The assembled male and female formations together form a substantially rectangular closed channel adapted for concealment of fixing means used to fix the cladding elements to a supporting structure.
