Wood plastic composite cladding is a fusion of reused wood fibers and recycled plastic that would have otherwise been thrown away. Composite cladding provides superior resilience, durability and a performance that timber can’t deliver. It doesn’t warp or rot, split or chip, this makes it perfect for the British climate! Very popular with homeowners, commercial developers and garden room manufacturers who choose it as an eco-friendly, low maintenance solution for cladding projects. 

We provide high-quality composite cladding boards which combine the resilience of plastic with the natural aesthetic of wood. Timber cladding requires regular maintenance as it is exposed to the elements. However, composite cladding won’t splinter or warp, is more robust, and will never need painting or varnishing. 

Composite cladding is more expensive to manufacture, due to the processes required to create it. However, it is a more sustainable solution for the future. Buying composite material is a genuine investment as you won’t need to pay for maintenance, repair and replacement of wood cladding, which is more susceptible to perish, rot, split and warp. 

Yes – composite cladding can be sawn just like traditional wood. You can make cross cuts in composite cladding as you would cut any soft pine – a circular power saw will work fine. A mitre power saw can provide accurate, straight cuts; a table saw with support extensions can make all types of cutting easier. 

Depending on where you live and where your composite boards have been installed can affect how long the cladding will last. The wood/plastic composition of the material used to manufacture the boards is a more durable alternative to timber and will last longer in areas that are not exposed to harsh weather conditions. 

One of the disadvantages of composite wall cladding is that it can be expensive to install – especially if hiring a professional to do this for you. Having said this, in the long run, the benefits of using composite far outweigh this due to its low-maintenance and long-lasting properties.
