Composite Slatted Cladding - Features & Benefits

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.
