Placing a firepit on your Composite Decking Boards is not recommended. Cladco Composite Decking Boards are made with part natural materials, which are not fire-resistant. Find out more about Cladco Composite Decking here.

Cladco Composite Wall Cladding Boards are available in a variety of eight colours. The low-maintenance composite material does not need to be sanded, treated or varnished. Simply select your chosen colour, install and enjoy. Please note, Cladco Composite Decking Boards cannot be painted. Find out more about Composite Wall Cladding here.

We recommend 11 T Clip per 4m board and eight T Clips per 2.4m board. We advise using a PH2 drill bit with these screws. T clips will give a 7mm gap between boards. You can see our Decking installation guides here for further information.

Cladco Composite Decking Boards are made of part natural materials. The boards can expand and contract due to temperature changes. Having a gap in your installation allows room for expansion and contraction. Find out how to install your Decking using our easy-to-follow installation guides. Please note that Cladco Products installed not following the provided installation guides may not be subject to warranty.

Our Composite Decking Boards are not designed to be used with soil and should always have sufficient support and moisture control behind them. Decking Boards may be used as a plant fascia where moisture is not directly positioned on top of the boards. Read more about our other uses of Composite Decking Boards here.

We recommend using our Composite Wall Cladding Boards for wall cladding, due to the boards’ lightweight construction and tongue-and-groove design for ease of installation. Composite Decking is designed for floor level installations, however, it is possible to use Composite Fascia Boards as side cladding to extend and finish a decking area. Find out more here.

Building contractors usually charge per day, and costs will vary depending on the size of your project. For a cheaper alternative, it is possible to install Composite Decking yourself with some DIY experience. For more information about Composite Decking installation costs, read our blog here.

Composite Decking can be finished using matching Composite Corner Trims to hide exposed edges, matching or contrasting Composite Skirting Trims for vertical exposed areas, or Composite Fascia Boards for larger areas that require covering. Don’t forget to include matching End Caps when installing Hollow Composite Decking Boards. To find out more, visit our Trims & Fixings section.

Cladco Composite Decking Boards do not require any additional painting, staining or sanding. The low-maintenance properties of the Boards mean that they should only need the occasional clean. Cladco Decking Maintenance Guide can be found here.  Composite Decking Cleaner can be purchased here.

Cladco Composite Decking Boards have two sides, the Original Board has one side with narrow grooves and the other with wider grooves. Cladco recommend installing the Boards with narrow grooves facing up to benefit from the low-slip and scratch-resistant properties. See the installation guide here.

Fascia Boards can be installed either vertically or horizontally to conceal the edges, corners and underneath of a Decking installation for a neat, attractive appearance. Decking Boards or Trims can be used as Fascia Boards. See an example of Fascia Boards here.
