COMPOSITE CLADDING FROM CLADPLUS.

Wood plastic composite cladding is made from recycled wood and plastic materials that would otherwise go to waste. Modern composite cladding provides unmatched durability, strength, and performance compared to traditional wood. It’s already a popular, eco-friendly choice among homeowners, restaurants and hotels for their cladding projects.

Our premium composite cladding boards blend the natural look and beauty of wood with the strength and longevity of plastic. Unlike wood, which demands regular upkeep and is vulnerable to weathering, composite cladding is more durable, resisting splintering and warping, and requiring no sealing or repainting.

While composite cladding may have a higher upfront cost, it offers a more sustainable and cost-effective solution over time. Choosing this material means you'll avoid the ongoing expenses of maintaining, repairing, and replacing wood cladding, which is more prone to rotting, splitting, warping, and deterioration. In the long run, this investment will save you money.

Composite cladding is inherently tough and long-lasting, requiring very little maintenance over its lifespan. CladPlus products are backed by a warranty of up to 25 years for residential use and 10 years for commercial projects, ensuring durability and peace of mind.

CladPlus composite cladding is suitable for both home and commercial applications. With over a decade of experience, we provide high-quality cladding solutions to homeowners and businesses alike. We recognise that different environments may require specific products, and we're here to help you choose the best option for your next cladding project.

Although composite cladding may have a higher upfront cost compared to traditional wood decking, the long-term savings on maintenance and the added leisure time make it a worthwhile investment. It may be tempting to lean towards a cheaper product but like many things in life, you get what you pay for. For the latest pricing, please visit our online store.

Just input the measurements of your cladding area into our free online cladding calculator, and it will automatically calculate the number of boards and additional accessories you'll require.

While we suggest using our recommended subframe solutions with our composite cladding boards, it is not mandatory. You may also choose timber battens, plastic joists, or a metal subframe. Adhering to the guidelines provided in our installation guide will ensure that our warranty remains valid.

The main method for securing our trims is by using screws. You can attach the trims either to the composite cladding boards or to the surrounding support battens. To prevent damaging the composite material, we recommend pre-drilling 3mm pilot holes and countersinking the trims before screwing them in. For a more subtle appearance, our CladPlus coloured trim screws are a good choice. Additionally, adhesive can be used as an alternative fastening method. For detailed guidance on installation, please refer to our online installation guide.

Certainly. Composite cladding can be handled similarly to traditional wood when it comes to cutting, drilling, and fastening. For basic crosscuts, a power circular saw will work well, much like with soft pine. For precise, straight cuts, a power mitre saw is ideal, while a table saw with support extensions can simplify various cutting tasks.

Glue/adhesive should not be relied upon as the main fastening method, only as a supplementary method. For detailed instructions please refer to our online installation guide.

Absolutely! As part of the Greensquares Network, we collaborate with a wide range of installers across the UK. We’d be delighted to recommend a trusted, high-quality installer from our network to handle the installation of your CladPlus composite cladding.

Yes. Composite materials expand and contract along their length due to temperature changes, as they contain plastic. To allow for this movement, it’s crucial to leave appropriate expansion gaps between the ends of each board. You can find the recommended spacing guidelines in our online installation guide.

Our budget-friendly composite cladding range Optima is made from wood fibres, recycled plastic and is uncapped, which means it is not entirely resistant to spot stains. If a spill or stain happens, it's important to address it promptly by treating the area according to the steps on our warranty information page. On the other hand, our capped composite cladding ranges (Optima Pro & Linear Slatted) are encased in a polymer layer that creates a protective barrier around the core, offering superior stain resistance and an easy-to-clean surface.

We take pride in the fact that our products meet the standards set by CE, ISO-9001, ISO-14001, REACH, and Intertek Green Leaf Mark. This ensures that our materials are sourced responsibly and that our manufacturing processes adhere to the highest quality standards.

Standard composite cladding typically achieves only a Class C fire rating because both plastic and wood powder are flammable materials. However, by incorporating special fire-retardant additives, our composite cladding can meet the stringent B1 fire rating. Please note that this modification alters the production formula, making the product 20-30% heavier and significantly more expensive.

CladPlus cladding is crafted from 95% recycled content, utilising reclaimed wood, sawdust, and recycled plastic. The material breakdown consists of 60% wood fibres, 30% recycled HDPE, and 10% chemical additives.

CladPlus composite cladding boards generally weigh 50-70% more than similar sections of traditional lumber.

All of our composite cladding options offer better fade resistance compared to traditional wood cladding. However, the durability of your cladding against the elements varies based on the range of CladPlus composite cladding you choose. Our Optima range will gradually lighten in colour over a period of up to 6 months, eventually reaching a stable, weathered tone with minimal fading afterward. In contrast, our Optima Pro and Linear Slatted ranges feature protective shell technology, offering exceptional resistance to fading and stains, ensuring the boards retain their original colour with minimal fading.

Extensive research has shown that the colour of cladding boards, whether they are wood-plastic composite or traditional wood, plays a crucial role in heat retention. Darker shades absorb heat more quickly than lighter ones.

Maintaining our composite materials is straightforward and hassle-free. Regular cleaning involves using soap, warm water, and a soft brush, while a jet wash can be used for a more thorough clean. Generally, cleaning your cladding twice a year is sufficient to keep it looking its best throughout the seasons. Thanks to their weather-resistant properties, our boards do not require painting, staining, or sealing. For detailed cleaning and care instructions, please refer to our warranty information page.

We suggest starting with warm, soapy water or a pressure washer for cleaning. For tougher stains, you can use a mild bleach and water solution if needed.

Although our composite cladding boards require minimal upkeep, we advise performing a general cleaning every 3-6 months to keep them looking their best throughout the year. A pressure washer with a maximum pressure of 1900 psi is effective for removing surface dirt and debris. To prevent any damage, use a fan attachment and maintain a distance of at least 300mm from the surface of the boards during cleaning.

We highly recommend against painting or staining CladPlus composite products. Designed for minimal maintenance, our composite boards are not compatible with traditional staining or painting methods used on wood. The colour of our boards is formulated to remain stable and consistent throughout their lifetime.

We strongly discourage sanding our capped composite cladding boards (Optima Pro & Linear Slatted) as it can damage the protective polymer layer irreparably and void the warranty. For our uncapped range (Optima), light sanding can be effective for removing persistent stains. Use 60-grit sandpaper, sanding in the direction of the grain with gentle pressure on the stained area. Although the sanded area may initially appear lighter, it will blend with the board’s colour over time as it is exposed to UV light.

Scuffs are minor, surface-level marks that tend to appear and fade with regular use. They are most noticeable when the boards are first installed but become less visible over time as the surface develops a natural patina. Scuffs are typically caused by foot traffic and furniture and are more evident on darker-coloured boards.

Scratches, on the other hand, are deeper and affect the surface layer, making them more permanent and requiring repair. Common causes include nails, stones, and other sharp objects. For uncapped products like our Optima boards, light scratches can be addressed with gentle sanding. For capped products like our Optima Pro & Linear Slatted boards, mild scratches can be repaired using a heat gun, but it’s best to consult a professional for proper guidance.
