Clad Clip Mini Kit – Wood

Tropical Pro™ Professional Grade Clad Clips are the gold standard for attaching Tropical ProTM and Thermotech wood rain screen, cladding, paneling, soffit and ceiling profiles. The Clad Clip system facilitates back ventilation and rapid moisture evaporation. In soffit applications, air flow occurs between every board eliminating the need for soffit vents. The clad clips eliminates the use of penetrating nails or screws which create moisture penetration points, greatly increasing the service life of wood cladding. The Clad Clip Mini System is designed for low wind exterior and interior applications.

Tropical Pro™’ Clad Clips are designed to create a 3/8″ (10 mm) offset between the wood sheath-ing and cladding to prevent water bridging and meet international building code rain Screen standards. Manufactured from V-O rated, glass filled nylon that is resistant to moisture, heat, fire, and impact, these clad clips are incredibly strong and can be used on all building envelope and substrate types. The nylon design also eliminates any potential for a galvanic reaction between the clip and substrate or deterioration associated with salt spray. When paired with Tropical Pro™ screws, service life in any location is increased dramatically.
