Product Information

Full details

The Standard Composite Slatted Cladding is an ideal solution for homeowners and contractors seeking a durable, low-maintenance exterior finish for walls and outdoor structures. Its 360-degree engineered surface provides robust protection against moisture, pests, and sun damage, ensuring a long-lasting aesthetic. While it offers exceptional resilience and a natural look, installers must ensure they have the proper support structure prepared, as the composite material requires specific spacing to allow for its inherent thermal expansion.

FAQs

Can I paint this cladding?

The cladding comes with a pre-finished natural look. Painting is not recommended, as the composite surface is designed to be low-maintenance and will not hold paint effectively like natural wood.

Do I need to treat this like real wood?

No. The primary benefit of this composite material is that it does not require staining, painting, or sealing to prevent decay or insect damage.

What tools are required for installation?

Standard woodworking tools, including a circular saw with a fine-tooth blade, a drill for pilot holes, and appropriate corrosion-resistant screws for outdoor use.

Is this cladding suitable for high-humidity areas?

Yes, because the material is waterproof and 360-degree protected, it is an excellent choice for areas with high moisture levels.

How do I cut the panels to size?

You can use standard power saws. Use a high-quality, fine-tooth carbide blade to minimize splintering and ensure a crisp edge.

Does the color fade over time?

The material is engineered with UV stabilizers to resist fading. While a very minor shift may occur over many years, it is significantly more color-stable than natural wood.

Troubleshooting

Surface showing minor dust or dirt accumulation

Clean with a soft brush and warm soapy water; rinse thoroughly with a garden hose.

Visible expansion or contraction at joints

Verify that the initial installation left sufficient expansion gaps between board ends as per the manufacturer's spacing guidelines.

Panel feels loose or vibrates in high wind

Check all mounting points and fasteners; ensure the panels are securely fixed to the supporting battens at every connection point.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High resistance to moisture and water damage
  • Immune to termite and insect infestation
  • UV-resistant finish prevents rapid fading
  • Extremely low maintenance requirements
  • Provides a modern aesthetic for exterior walls

Cons

  • Requires precise installation on a suitable substructure
  • Weight may necessitate heavy-duty fixing points
  • Requires proper gap allowance for thermal movement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by fixing the panels to a level, treated timber or composite support battens. Ensure there is adequate airflow behind the cladding to prevent moisture buildup. When cutting to size, use fine-tooth carbide blades to ensure a smooth finish on the composite material. For routine care, simply wash the surface with mild soapy water and a soft brush to remove dust or accumulated grime. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly at close range, as this can potentially damage the protective surface layer over time.
