The benefits of NeoTimber’s weather resistant cladding and fade resistant cladding over timber alternatives.<\/h2><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\nTimber cladding looks stunning. Emulating the look of a North American timber frame house, cladding has grown in popularity here in the UK. Unfortunately, timber is prone to fading and warping after long exposure to UV light and rainy conditions. The natural oils in timber cladding react to these elements causing the pigmentation to lose colour. The effect of this is such that staining and treating your timber can only pause the inevitable erosion briefly.<\/p>\n
NeoTimber\u2019s\u00a0composite cladding<\/a> is resistant to the effects of weathering, giving you the quality assurance<\/a> of protection against the elements for many years. We engineer our fade resistant cladding<\/a> with a finely tuned balance of UV inhibitors to prevent fading. Our traditional composite Classic range<\/a> is designed to bleach slightly to a more weathered look whereas the more weather resistant cladding ranges: capped composite Deluxe<\/a> and Slatted cladding<\/a> retain their colour throughout their long lifespan.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\nCapped Composite Cladding Just Doesn’t Fade<\/h2><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>Some homeowners like their cladding to look the same crisp, sharp colour all the time. For this reason,\u00a0NeoTimber\u00ae\u00a0have developed UV inhibitors and a strong plastic coating for their capped composite cladding products<\/a>. These properties and features create a superior cladding board which not only resists fading and water absorption but actually prevents it.<\/p>\nBoth our Deluxe<\/a> and Slatted ranges<\/a> are equipped with this capped finish technology<\/a> meaning that they remain bright, crisp and un-weathered throughout their lifespan.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"fade](\"https:\/\/neotimber.com\/cladding\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/03\/Composite-Cladding-Deluxe-Grey-Pic5.jpg\" "\\"Composite")

Part of the appeal of timber cladding is that faded, sun-bleached look which gives it a soft and natural look of driftwood. Our traditional composite cladding products<\/a> are engineered with UV inhibitors which react slowly to sunlight and allow\u00a0the oils in the composite material to fade\u00a0gradually, up to a certain point and then\u00a0cease fading. This process gives your cladding that lived-in, homely feel without bleaching\u00a0all\u00a0of\u00a0the colour from your boards.<\/p>\nOur Classic line<\/a> consists of 60% timber and is not shielded by a protective shell, unlike our capped options<\/a>. Therefore, it\u2019s important to be aware that NeoTimber\u00ae Classic cladding<\/a> will fade. In the first 3-6 months, this cladding will lighten to a \u2018weathered colour tone\u2019. This means that the colour tone of the cladding boards you receive will initially be darker than after the weathering process. As the colour of the board stabilises, the rate of colour change will remain minimal. To give you a true representation of how you can expect your deck boards to look, we only display images of the Classic boards<\/a> on our website that have reached their weathered state.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/span>Traditional Composite Cladding – Designed To Fade, Naturally<\/h2><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
