Composite Slatted Cladding

Composite slatted cladding is one of the most versatile solutions that effortlessly elevates the facade of any property. Manufactured from an innovative capped composite material that is environmentally friendly, these external slatted cladding panels replicate the look of individual timber slats whilst being easy to install and low-maintenance.

Key Features of Composite Wall Cladding:

A Fusion of Natural Beauty and Innovation:

Composite slatted cladding is a remarkable fusion of natural beauty and cutting-edge technology. Crafted from a blend of wood fibres and high-quality synthetic materials, this cladding replicates the authentic appeal of timber while offering the advantages of modern innovation.

The result is a product that exudes timeless elegance and boasts exceptional durability, standing strong against the elements for years. Unlike timber-slatted cladding, these panels need not be varnished, painted, or sealed.

A Palette of Slatted Cladding Possibilities:

One of the most appealing aspects of slatted composite cladding is its diverse range of colours, patterns, and finishes.

Whether you seek a sleek contemporary look or a more rustic charm, there's a design to cater to every style preference. The carefully curated selection lets you personalise your exterior spaces, giving them a character that harmonises with your overall architectural vision.

The Perfect Balance of Openness and Privacy:

Incorporating composite slatted cladding into your property's exterior creates a seamless balance between openness and privacy.

The slatted design allows the right amount of light and air to filter, offering good brightness inside your home. Simultaneously, it forms a protective shield that provides a sense of seclusion, making your outdoor spaces a serene retreat from the outside world.

Featuring a four-slat castellation, each slatted wall cladding panel gives 200mm coverage when lapped—more scope than the average composite slatted cladding board on the market.

Low Maintenance, High Quality:

Unlike traditional timber cladding, composite slatted cladding requires minimal maintenance. Worrying about staining, sealing, or weathering over time is unnecessary. A simple routine of occasional cleaning will keep your cladding looking as good as new. This low-maintenance feature saves time and ensures that your investment retains its charm for years, giving you peace of mind and a sense of satisfaction.

Sustainable Building Choice:

As environmentally conscious practices gain popularity, composite slatted cladding is an eco-friendly choice.

Utilising recycled materials and sustainable manufacturing processes reduces the demand for natural resources, making it a responsible selection for your property.

Every cladding board should be installed onto a robust supporting batten system for optimal performance.

Ensure a minimum 30mm gap between the wall and the cladding board and a continuous 15mm gap between the top and bottom of the frame system. These gaps facilitate ample airflow, effectively preventing water accumulation and promoting a well-ventilated environment.

FAQs

What is composite slatted cladding?

Composite slatted cladding is an exterior covering made of a combination of wood fibres and plastic resins. It provides the appearance of wood with the durability and low maintenance of synthetic materials.
