Cladco Composite Wall Cladding

What’s in our Composite
Wall Cladding?

Our composite cladding range offers a modern, low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber cladding. Made from a blend of 60% recycled plastics and 40% recycled wood fibres, Cladco Signature composite wall cladding boards is highly resistant to rotting, warping, and splintering. The boards do not require sealing, staining, or painting—helping to preserve their colour and minimise upkeep.

For enhanced durability, ProClad composite cladding features a polymer-capped surface that encases the composite core. This advanced cladding solution offers superior protection against weathering and UV fading, making it ideal for long-lasting external applications.

Maintaining Your
Composite Wall Cladding

Our composite cladding is crafted from recycled materials, helping to reduce environmental impact while delivering reliable, long-lasting performance.

Keeping your Signature composite wall cladding in top condition is simple. For everyday maintenance, use a stiff-bristled brush to sweep the surface. To remove dirt, grime, or animal droppings, clean the boards with warm, soapy water and a sponge if needed.

ProClad boards requires even less maintenance thanks to its capped surface. We recommend brushing away visible dirt and clearing any natural debris that may accumulate over time.

How to Install Composite
Wall Cladding?

Designed with a tongue-and-groove style fitting, our composite cladding range is easily fixed onto supporting battens, making installation straightforward. Use the appropriate starter strips, perforated closures, and corner trims to complete your project.

Both Signature and ProClad composite cladding boards offer versatility, with the option to install them either vertically or horizontally. With a natural timber-look finish, you can enjoy the aesthetics of wood with the added benefit of reduced maintenance.

Choose from our range of composite cladding for a sustainable, attractive, and long-lasting exterior solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I use Cladco composite cladding?

Our range of composite cladding is highly versatile and designed to enhance the exterior of homes, garden rooms, offices, and more. Composite cladding can be installed onto battens fixed to stable, structurally sound walls. It can also be used indoors if desired, offering a decorative finish for interior spaces.

Do I need planning permission?

In most cases, planning permission is not required to install composite cladding on your home, as long as the materials do not significantly alter the external appearance of the property.


However, if your property is listed or located in a conservation area, you may need permission before proceeding. Please note that Cladco cannot provide official planning advice. We recommend consulting a licensed planning consultant or building surveyor before beginning your installation.

Please note: Natural colour variations are to be expected with Signature composite cladding due to the high timber content within the boards. To help minimise noticeable differences, we recommend ordering all boards for your project in one batch.

Colour appearance may also vary between wet and dry weather, making these variations more apparent. After installation, the cladding will undergo a stabilisation period - typically within six months - as the material adjusts to outdoor conditions. The rate and extent of weathering will depend on sun exposure and local climate.

ProClad Composite Wall Cladding Board

ProClad composite wall cladding boards offer a durable yet stylish solution for transforming any exterior space.

Please note: The colour of capped composite cladding will stabilise within the first 6–12 months following installation. During this period, some initial fading may occur before the boards reach their final, settled shade.

Cladco Composite Slatted Cladding

What’s in Composite
Slatted Cladding?

Looking to add a sophisticated exterior upgrade to your home? Cladco composite slatted cladding is the perfect choice. Crafted from eco-friendly capped composite materials, these panels replicate the look of timber slats while offering easy installation and long-lasting performance.

Also known as shadow gap cladding, slatted composite cladding is manufactured from 60% FSC® certified recycled hardwood fibres and 40% recycled plastics, encased in a durable outer shell.

Each panel features a four-slat castellation design, providing 200mm of coverage once installed—offering more scope than the average slatted panel currently available on the market.

Maintaining Composite
Slatted Cladding

Cladco composite slatted cladding features a durable outer shell that helps protect the panels from weathering and other potential damage. To keep your cladding looking its best, regularly clean the panels with lukewarm or cold water to remove dirt and debris. For more stubborn marks, such as bird droppings, use warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge.

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your cladding, inspect the boards annually and clean as needed. Avoid using high-pressure washers, as these can damage the surface finish of the panels.

For the best results and long-lasting performance, we recommend installing the cladding onto composite or recycled plastic battens.

How to Install
Slatted Cladding?

Onto battens, either horizontally or vertically, with battens placed at 500mm intervals. Where two panels meet end to end, install two battens and leave a 3mm gap between the panels to allow for natural expansion and contraction.

Ensure a 25mm gap is maintained between the wall and the panel to provide adequate airflow and ventilation.

Install any single start trims and internal corner trims before fixing the panels, and complete the installation with corner trims or double end trims. The panels slot together using a tongue-and-groove system, concealing the fixings for a clean, professional finish to your exterior project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a pressure washer to clean the slatted panels?

We do not recommend using a pressure washer on Cladco slatted cladding, as it may damage the surface or paint layers. Instead, use cold or lukewarm water with a mild soap and a soft brush or cloth for effective cleaning.

Can I cut the panels down to size?

Yes, you can cut slatted cladding panels to length using standard wood-cutting tools. For the cleanest finish, we recommend using a fine-toothed blade.


If you wish to cut the panels lengthways (to alter the width), please note that this will remove the interlocking tongue-and-groove edge, meaning additional panels or trims can no longer be attached to that side.

Are the panels scratch resistant?

Cladco slatted wall cladding panels offer increased scratch resistance compared to natural timber. The unique capped composite construction provides enhanced durability and helps prevent surface marking. However, panels may still scratch if not handled with care.

Can slatted panels be installed horizontally?

Yes, Cladco slatted cladding panels can be installed both horizontally and vertically. For horizontal installation, battens or joists should be positioned vertically (opposite to the panel direction). The installation method remains the same, regardless of the orientation you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dimensionally very stable?

Cladco Internal Slatted Wall Panels

What is in Cladco Internal Slatted Wall Panels?

Cladco internal slatted wall panels are crafted from high-quality MDF with a wood veneer, delivering a premium wood-effect finish. Each panel is backed with an eco-friendly, recycled PET felt base, creating a solid and durable product.

With Cladco slatted wall panels, you can quickly transform a space by fixing them over painted walls or concealing unsightly wallpaper and other surfaces. These panels are acoustically rated to improve sound absorption, which can be further enhanced by installing battens and compressing soundproofing materials within the air gap behind the panels.

Maintaining Internal Slatted Wall Panels

Internal slatted panels are easy to maintain. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft nozzle attachment or a dusting cloth to remove dust from between the slats. Clean individual slats with a damp cloth, taking care to avoid excessive water or harsh detergents that may cause chemical discolouration. For stubborn stains, a mild soap with a soft, damp cloth can be used.

When panels are installed using screws to battens, individual panels can be easily replaced if needed. Please note that these panels are not made from water-resistant materials and may become damaged if exposed to water for prolonged periods.

How to Install Internal Slatted Panels

One of the key advantages of Cladco internal slatted panels is their ease of installation, which can be achieved simply using adhesive or appropriate screws. For best results, we recommend using either adhesive or suitably rated screws.

Panels can be installed vertically or horizontally to match your preferred style and can be easily cut to size and shape using standard woodworking tools. Adjusting the panels to fit around obstacles is straightforward—use a saw to cut the slats widthways and a sharp blade to trim the felt backing lengthways, allowing for a precise fit around any object.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the panels be installed in a bathroom?

We do not recommend installing Cladco internal slatted wall panels in rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms, as the materials are not designed to withstand prolonged moisture exposure.

Can I install slatted wall panels horizontally?

Yes, Cladco slatted wall panels can be installed either horizontally or vertically, depending on your preference. The installation process is the same for both orientations—measure, cut, then screw or adhere the panels to the wall.

How can I hide the edges of the panel?

Our wall panels have exposed edges and can be cut both lengthways and widthways to ensure the edges sit flush with your walls, providing a neat, custom fit.

Can I install slatted wall panels outside?

No, our internal slatted panels are not waterproof and therefore are not suitable for outdoor installation. For external applications, we recommend using our composite slatted cladding designed specifically for outdoor use.
