Nothing to maintain
Capped composite — a bonded outer shell over a lightweight core. No painting, no staining, no sealing. Wash it when it needs it, which is roughly never.
Composite cladding
Slatted cladding,
Slatted cladding,
fitted at panel speed
Four raised slats on a single 219mm board. You get the shadow lines of individual battens without setting out every one of them — and nothing to paint, stain or seal, ever.

Why slatted
The look of battens, the labour of panels
A slatted elevation done in individual battens is a setting-out job. Every gap has to be right and every one is visible when it isn’t. This does the same thing four slats at a time.
Vertical or horizontal
Run it upright for height on a garden room, or on the flat for a long, low wall. The profile reads well both ways — the shadow just falls differently.
Colour that holds
Capped boards keep their colour and resist staining noticeably better than uncapped ones. Order the whole job together and it all weathers as one.

How many panels do I need?
Put your wall sizes in and we’ll work out the panel count, allowing a full board at every cut. Add it straight to your quote when it looks right.

2 · Which way do the slats run?
3 · The areas
Windows, doors and anything else you are not cladding — take the total off here. Leave it at zero for a blank wall.
4 · Allowance for waste
The panel count already allows a full board at every cut. This is on top of that — breakage, a mitre that goes wrong, the board you keep back as a spare. 5% suits most jobs.

Before you order
Three things worth knowing
It moves with temperature
Composite expands and contracts, mostly along its length. Expansion gaps and the right fixings are not optional on a composite elevation — they are the difference between a flat wall and a bowed one in August.
It needs something to fix back to
Slatted panels go onto a batten framework, not straight onto brick or render. The batten material and centres depend on your substrate and which way the panels run — send us the build-up and we will confirm it.
Order the whole job at once
Boards from one production run weather as one. Topping up an elevation six months later is the usual way to end up with a visible patch.
Fixings, battens and trims are specified with your quote rather than guessed at here — tell us the substrate and we will list exactly what the job takes.
Send us the drawing and we will do the take-off
Free, no obligation, and usually back the same day. Or work it out above and add it straight to your quote.
