Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I use Cladco Composite Cladding?

Cladco Composite Cladding is a versatile cladding material, designed to transform the exterior of your home, garden room or office, for example. Composite Cladding can be installed on battens secured to stable, structurally sound walls. However, the Boards can easily be installed inside if desired.

Do I need planning permission?

It is usually not necessary to have planning permission to install Composite Cladding on your home, this is providing the materials do not significantly change the appearance of your home. If your house is listed or in an area that is protected, you may require planning permission to use Cladding. Please take in to account that we can not provide official advice like a licensed planner or building surveyor can. We advise you speak with a certified professional prior to installation of Cladding.

Please note: Natural colour variations in our Cladding Boards are expected due to the high contents of timber within the product. We advise all your Cladding Boards are ordered in one go, to reduce these variations.

After installation, our Composite Cladding goes through a period of stabilisation as the material gets used to its outdoor environment, this often happens within six months. Sun exposure and weather conditions will affect the level of the weathering.

Composite Slatted Cladding

What’s in Composite
Slatted Cladding?

Looking for a sophisticated exterior upgrade for your home? Cladco Composite Slatted Cladding is an ideal choice. Made from eco-friendly capped composite materials, Panels replicate timber slats and are easy to install. Also known as ‘shadow gap’ cladding, Slatted Cladding is made from 60% FSC® certified, recycled hardwood fibres and 40% recycled plastics, encased in a hard-wearing exterior. Our Slatted Panels feature a four-slat castellation design that provides a 200mm coverage per Panel once installed. This offers more scope than the average slatted panel currently available on the market.

Maintaining Composite
Slatted Cladding

Composite Slatted Cladding has a durable outer shell, helping to protect the Panels against weathering and other potential sources of damage. To maintain your Panels, regularly clean them with lukewarm or cold water to remove debris and dirt. For tougher stains, like bird droppings, apply soapy water. Keep the Boards free from dirt, pollution, and other stains by inspecting them annually and cleaning them as needed. Avoid using high-pressure cleaning systems on Cladco Composite Slatted Cladding, as this can damage the finish of the Panels. For a long-lasting cladding project, we recommend using Composite or Recycled Plastic Battens.

How to Install
Slatted Cladding?

Cladco Composite Slatted Panels can be installed externally on battens either horizontally or vertically, placed in 500mm intervals. Where two Panels meet end to end, install two Battens with a 3mm gap to allow for expansion and contraction. Panels should be installed with a 25mm gap between the wall and Panel to ensure adequate airflow and ventilation. Be sure to install any single Start Trims and Internal Corner Trims before installing Panels and finish with Corner Trims or Double End Trims. Panels are slotted together using a tongue-and-groove method, which hides the fixings for a professional finish to your exterior project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a pressure washer to clean them?

We do not advise using a pressure washer on your Slatted Cladding, as it may cause damage to the paint layers. We recommend using cold or slightly warm water with a gentle soap alongside a soft brush or cloth.

Can I cut my Panels down to size?

To adjust the length of your Slatted Cladding Panels you can cut them widthways using any kind of standard wood cutting tools. For a clean cut edge on your Cladding, it is advised to use a blade with a fine tooth. If you would like to cut the Cladding Panels lengthways to change the width, you will remove the interconnecting tongue and groove, which means you can no longer attach anymore Panels or Trims to the edge.

Are the Panels scratch resistant?

Cladco Slatted Wall Cladding Panels have increased scratch resistance when compared with natural timber. This is due to their unique capped composite material which increases the Panel’s durability and should not scratch, or mark easily. Boards may still scratch, if handled incorrectly.

Can Slatted Panels be installed horizontally?

Cladco Slatted Cladding Panels can be installed horizontally as well as vertically. For horizontal installations, the joists and battens will need to be installed vertically (the opposite orientation to the Panels), however the installation method remains the same whichever direction you wish to install your Cladding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dimensionally very stable?

Cladco Internal Slatted Wall Panels

What’s in Cladco Internal
Slatted Wall Panels?

Cladco Internal Slatted Wall Panels are manufactured from high-quality MDF with a wood veneer, producing a premium wood-effect aesthetic. Panels are backed onto an eco-friendly, recycled PET felt base to create a solid, durable panel. With Cladco Slatted Wall Panels, you can quickly create a modern space by fixing Panels over painted walls, or covering unsightly wallpaper or materials. These Panels are acoustically rated to enhance sound absorption, which can be further improved by installing battens and compacting soundproofing materials in the air space between.

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, however, avoid using excessive water or detergents to prevent chemical discolouration. A mild soap can be used for stubborn stains with a soft, damp cloth. If installing Panels using screws to battens, Panels can be easily replaced where required. Panels are not manufactured from water-resistant materials and can become damaged if exposed to water for extended periods.

How to Install
Internal Slatted Panels?

One of the advantages of Cladco Internal Slatted Panels is their ease of installation, which is simple using either wall grab adhesive or screws. For best results, we recommend using CT1 adhesive or appropriate screws. Panels can be installed vertically or horizontally to suit your preferred style and can be cut to size and shape using ordinary woodworking tools. Adjusting a Panel’s size to fit around any object is straightforward. Use a saw to cut the slats widthways and a sharp blade to cut the felt lengthways, allowing you to install the Panels around any obstacles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Panels be installed in a bathroom?

We do not recommend installing Cladco Internal Slatted Wall Panels in rooms that may have high humidity, such as bathrooms.

Can I install Slatted Wall Panels horizontally?

Cladco Slatted Wall Panels can be installed to your preference, either horizontally or vertically. Both installation methods have the same process involving measuring, cutting, and then either screwing or adhering the panels to the wall.

How can I hide the edges of the Panel?

Our Wall Panels are designed with exposed edges and can be cut to size length ways and width ways, ensuring that the edges of the Panels are flush with the end of the walls.

Can I install Slatted Wall Panels outside?

Due to the materials in our Slatted Panels not being water proof, it is not advised to install them outside. An alternative for external use is our Composite Slatted Cladding.
