Myriad Cladding for Garage Descent

Project Context

Completed in 2025 in Caen for a private residence, this project involves cladding the walls of a garage descent and the risers of a visible concrete staircase. The goal was to protect the mineral support from splashes and runoff, provide a durable finish, and harmonize the whole with the anthracite composite fences at the top. The choice fell on a profile with clear view effect to visually elongate the walls, add rhythm, and integrate the structure into the wooded garden.

Solution Implemented

The project selected the Myriad® cladding from Redcinha®, distributed by Paysapro, a co-extruded wood-polymer composite designed for outdoor/indoor use. The chosen color, resembling light oak with dark grooves, enhances the volumes and contrasts with the anthracite elements around.

Product characteristics used on site:

• Myriad® board 2900 × 160 × 26 mm, brushed finish for a natural look
• Low expansion 2 mm/m, installed considering peripheral gaps
• Anti-UV treatment and decay-resistant material, does not break in frost
• 10-year warranty and maintenance with a high-pressure cleaner from a minimum distance of 1 m

Framework and hardware used according to product recommendations:

• Solid composite bearer 40 × 25 × 2900 mm for creating the installation plane
• Aluminum clips + stainless steel screws TX10 3 × 20 mm ensuring invisible and durable fixation
• Starter skirting for the lower joint and external corner trims for edge protection

This system was chosen for its dimensional stability, rapid implementation by clipping, and durability in exposed weather conditions.

Execution and Result

The concrete supports were prepared and verified to ensure a flatness compatible with frame installation. The composite bearers were anchored to the support, laser-adjusted, and battened to guarantee the alignment of the clear view grooves. The installation of the boards was performed vertically, clipped, and spaced according to the recommended expansion gaps, with a peripheral joint at the top of the cladding.

The outgoing corners and stair edges were fitted with wood-tone corner trims providing mechanical protection and a clean finish. The risers were dressed to maintain visual continuity between the walls and staircase, while the technical hatch/gate on the facade was made flush and dressed with the same profile to remain discreet. At the base of the work, the project respects the existing linear drain, facilitating water runoff without obstructing the ventilation of the facing.

The result presents uniform walls, rhythmically punctuated by regular vertical lines and a homogeneous brushed grain. The light wood tone adds warmth to the mineral volume, while the anthracite composite fence at the top creates a controlled contrast. The whole delivers a surface resistant to impacts and harsh weather conditions, with minimal maintenance, and ensures aesthetic continuity with the surrounding landscaping.
