What are the advantages of composite cladding over wood?<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>\n

In the past 15 years, we at\u00a0NeoTimber\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0have perfected the design for our highly specialised composite decking range<\/a>. Drawing upon this extensive experience, we\u00a0<\/span>have also launched a high-quality composite cladding range<\/a>. With uncertainty in the housing market many homeowners<\/a> have chosen to improve rather than move to add value to their property; building extensions, loft conversions and undertaking improvements to their gardens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cladding the exterior is another good example of a way to improve the value of your home and its kerb appeal. A modern alternative to rendering or the stone cladding of yesteryear, cladding<\/a> gives a more natural, organic feel to your home, helping us feel more connected to the natural world. The trouble is most of us do not have the deep pockets of Grand Design homeowners. As a result, solid timber cladding, together with the maintenance and upkeep, is simply too financially prohibitive. A viable alternative exists however in composite materials. NeoTimber\u00ae composite cladding<\/a> is engineered to perform better than timber. In fact, there are a number of benefits of choosing composite cladding over wood when considering wood or composite cladding.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Advantages Of Composite Cladding<\/a><\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Here\u2019s the 5 key advantages of composite cladding vs wood:<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"advantages<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

1<\/span>\n

A long-life cladding alternative<\/h2><\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Composite cladding<\/a> is designed to shut out moisture and to resist the warping and bowing inherent in timber. Along with the cost of materials, the time, effort and additional cost of installation make fitting cladding a time-consuming business. Therefore, it\u2019s not something you\u2019re going to want to be redoing every 5 years or so. <\/span>Composite cladding<\/a> is made from a combination of reused industrial wood fibres and recycled plastic, this combination arms the wood against the elements and enables NeoTimber\u00ae to offer a long-life guarantee<\/a> on all cladding products.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

2<\/span>\n

A lower maintenance solution<\/h2><\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

When it comes to home exteriors, we want the best of both worlds. We want something that will look nice once it\u2019s installed but that requires minimal maintenance<\/a> to keep it looking great. <\/span>However, composite cladding<\/a> never requires sanding or varnishing and so there is virtually no maintenance required. Just give it an occasional scrub with household soap<\/a>. Who knows, you could even pay the window cleaner a little extra to do this once a summer, or grab a bucket yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Contemporary not temporary<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Cladding is a current trend which brings your home right up to date. With five stunning colour ranges<\/a> to choose from and three finishes<\/a> including the spectacular Slatted range<\/a> your home will really stand out, turning heads all the way up the avenue. <\/span>Despite its cutting-edge, sharp looks, NeoTimber\u00ae composite cladding<\/a> is not designed to be a flash in the pan. Our cladding is designed for the long term. Resisting moisture absorption and UV fading, choose a shade you\u2019re not going to get bored of as it\u2019s guaranteed for at least 25 years<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

4<\/span>\n

Fully fire rated<\/span><\/h2><\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

All composite cladding products<\/a> are combustible to a degree, due to the organic material (wood) used within them. As a result, we have ensured all our products have a clear fire rating classification<\/a>. Our Classic composite cladding range<\/a> is Class C fire-rated, and our Deluxe<\/a> and Slatted composite cladding ranges<\/a> are Class D fire-rated. In most cases this means that NeoTimber\u00ae composite cladding can be used for buildings under 11m in height.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Easy-to-install<\/h2><\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

There are a large number of cladding companies in the market today. Each company has developed their own unique installation system<\/a>. The trouble is, the more complex the system, the longer it takes to install and the higher your cost. <\/span>NeoTimber\u00ae\u00a0have taken the hard work out of installation for you<\/a>.\u00a0We have developed a product which is both suitable for professional installers<\/a> and private homeowners<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0engineering\u00a0shiplap\u00a0cladding\u00a0with tongue and groove\u00a0which\u00a0can easily be\u00a0attached\u00a0to\u00a0a framework of\u00a0wooden battens.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
