How prone is NeoTimber\u00ae composite cladding to fading?<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

If you\u2019ve ever gone to the great effort of installing a timber surface, be it decking<\/a> or cladding<\/a>, you will know the heartbreak of seeing your hard work fade, warp and crack<\/a> as the rays of the blazing sun and merciless frozen fingers of frost wrap themselves relentlessly around your boards until they finally fade to a mere shadow of their former glory.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>
\"does<\/span><\/div>
<\/div>

So now you\u2019re looking at timber alternatives<\/a> to save you the heartache and the elbow grease, the logical question which you will ask is, does composite cladding fade? A sensible and reasonable question but the answer is not straightforward. Here we\u2019ll explore why that is:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What Type Of Composite Cladding Fades?<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

The honest answer is that some composite cladding<\/a> does fade a little, others don\u2019t. Traditional composite cladding boards<\/a> are designed with an exposure-responsive UV inhibitor built into its\u2019 chemical structure \u2013 residual oils and pigments within the composite cladding boards<\/a> react to the effects of the weather and in turn lighten. What that means in real terms, is that a natural weathering process will take place for the first three to four months depending on when installed.<\/p>\n

Our traditional composite cladding<\/a> is designed to weather-down to a more natural, lived-in, less \u2018fresh-out-of-the-box\u2019 look for that timeless cladding effect. After fading for a short period, the inhibitors kick in, locking the tone at a steady colour<\/a> which will remain for the lifespan of your composite cladding<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

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

Fade-Resistant Capped Composite Cladding<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Only traditional composite<\/a> has these time-sensitive fade properties. Second-generation composite<\/a>, however, has a much higher resistance to weathering and a higher level of overall protection against the elements. Also known as capped composite cladding<\/a>, it is traditional composite that has been fed through a sleeve of polymer resin which coats the outside of the board, providing a hardy capped layer protecting the organic timber fibres within.<\/p>\n

Equipped with stronger UV inhibitors, capped cladding<\/a> resists all of the UV light maintaining shine and resisting fade<\/a> throughout the lifespan of the cladding.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
