Composite Slatted Cladding 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.
Why choose composite slatted cladding over traditional wood slats?
Composite cladding is resistant to rot, warping, and pests.
It also requires minimal maintenance, doesn't need painting or staining, and has a longer lifespan than traditional wood.
A great benefit of using these boards over timber is their resistance to scratches and warping, which can sometimes develop on other materials (like wood) over time.
How do composite slatted cladding handle weather conditions?
Composite is a blend of plastic and wood, is water-resistant and can handle weather conditions better than pure wood, resisting warping, fading, and damage.
Are the boards environmentally friendly?
Yes, many composites you see here in the UK are made from recycled materials.
Furthermore, these unique boards reduce the demand for timber, leading to fewer trees being cut down! 🏡
How do I maintain and clean the slatted panels?
Composite slatted cladding requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning with soapy water and a soft brush will keep it looking fresh. It doesn't require any painting or staining.
