Frequently Asked Questions
It’s very simple! Please refer to the full installation guide for more information.
The cladding boards are crafted from a unique blend of materials, combining 60% wood fibers with 40% polyethylene. This composition offers several advantages:
- Durability: The wood fibers provide the boards with the natural appearance and strength of traditional wood, while the polyethylene contributes to the durability and resilience of the boards. This combination results in a robust material that withstands various weather conditions and resists rot, decay, and insect damage.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike traditional wood, this composite cladding does not require regular painting, staining, or sealing. The polyethylene component makes the boards resistant to fading, staining, and scratching, ensuring they maintain their aesthetic appeal with minimal upkeep.
- Eco-Friendly: The use of recycled materials in the boards makes them an eco-friendly choice.
Yes! There is no need to oil, varnish or paint your cladding boards – we recommend regularly wiping down composite cladding boards with a smooth cloth, using a bit of soap to get rid of simple stains.

The likelihood of your cladding fading over time depends on several factors, including exposure to sunlight and the type of cladding you choose.
Here's a more detailed explanation written by our expert technical team:
- Sunlight Exposure: The cladding boards that we supply are designed to be resilient, but like most materials, they can be affected by constant, intense sunlight. In the UK, where weather conditions are typically varied with less intense and constant sun exposure compared to more tropical climates, the risk of significant fading is considerably reduced.
- Seasonal Weather Considerations: The UK's seasonal weather patterns, characterised by a mix of sun, rain, and cloud cover, generally provide a conducive environment for maintaining the colour integrity of the cladding. This natural variation in weather helps to mitigate the potential for continuous sun exposure that can lead to fading.
- Woodgrain Cladding Specifics: While many of the products that we supply are built for durability, the woodgrain cladding varieties have a slightly higher susceptibility to fading over time. This is due to the nature of the woodgrain finish, which can react to UV rays more readily than other finishes.
- Material Composition: The composition, typically a mixture of wood fibers and polymers, is engineered to minimise fading. However, it's important to note that no material is entirely fade-proof, especially when exposed to UV rays over extended periods.
- Preventive Measures: To extend the life and appearance of your cladding, consider implementing shades or landscaping that can reduce direct sun exposure. Regular cleaning and maintenance can also help in preserving the color and appearance of the cladding.
- Natural Weathering Process: It's also important to understand that some degree of fading over time is a natural part of the weathering process for any outdoor material. This weathering can sometimes be seen as a desirable characteristic, giving the cladding a naturally aged look.
